Thanks Rustynail, was great to meet you. Glad its gone to a well deserved home.

Sorry David, It was very hard to price this one as i couldnt find a good level playing field similar so didnt want to push people away with a silly price. I guess to keep in with rules i guess $500...

Great work, am curious though why are you not using the Hy and Spindle anymore?

Selling my Festool Rotex 150 FEQ sander. Not seeing enough use and is barely used in great condition as i need to fund some future projects and make room in shed. Comes with spare backing pad.

Thicker vinyl and gasket material would be nice to see, can always find someone wanting to replace old gaskets on headers etc.

Hi All,

Doing some browsing today and came across this tool . This looks very nice considering the floating device is controled by the touch tip which is the way normal holders work. For those...

Was hoping someone here would buy one and try it out. Its looks great (minus the cost....like most things). Glad to see its working out for you. Hope to see more tests soon.

Looks great!!!

:2tsup:

I think he sorted this in another thread.

I agree a spare would be good (although i wouldn't expect them to fault regularly) but these complex systems would rarely be a single component fault. Bets of luck though.

If they are replacing the unit....dont bother playing around unless your experienced in these type of electronics.

Specialty bits however are sourced from O/S from the likes of Amanatool (toolstoday.com) and whiteside.

Rod,

What size monitors are you using in that console?

Daniel

Just for anyone looking. Theres a great program out there at a great price for us hobbyist call vector magic. Makes outline tracing of images like this a breeze. They have an online demo you can...

Awesome stuff Chris,

Looking forward to seeing the first moves soon.

Yeah the lathe will be a challenge but worth it since i dont already have a lathe. I'd have to design it and lock it in before i start machining though. Accuracy wont be too bad, a good dial and...

Hey Chris,

Machine is looking great. Really like the design, and it should look great fully enclosed and throwing aluminum swarf everywhere.

BTW, that slantbed lathe you linked is my next...

Tony,

Without seeing the wiring, it is possible to use the same port/pin setup for each motor but the motor settings themselves would need to change as the motors have changed. It would also be...

If you can try to incorporate a cross slide ballscrew, although it ould be hard due to the size of ballscrew nuts and the compact cross slides. The forces involved in lathes will cause chatter in...

A nema 17 would definitely not be enough for a lathe even of that size as the forces exerted onto the cutter cross slide would cause chatter. I would personally use a high end nema23 with a 2 or 3:1...

Any Progress????

Great news Bill,

Much cheaper than buying a new panel i am sure.

Daniel

Very unusual, but stranger things have happened. Hopefully after replacing the switches all will be back to normal.

Daniel

Thanks Bob and John,

Was curious about whether the steppers would have a problem, after all the steppers are assembled by hand at the factories so it is good to know. Might look at pulling one...

You probably have tried everything but just in case, when you replaced the display from another unit, did you replace the display and ribbon cable together? If so, check that the other end doesn't...

P.S Also if anyone does know how or knows someone who can it would also be very helpful. :roll:

*** EDITED - Just found that they do sell a second mounting pinion for .5" shaft motors. Just wasn't...

Hey All,

Got a random question for all the mechanical minded out there. I recently got myself a good deal on a low backlash Parker Bayside planetary reducer to replace the pulley and belt system....

Nice!!!! Doubt ill find that around here but you never know. I spoke to the local scrappers and they had my number but doubt they would actually call. If you get a second in a lifetime and have...

Wayne,

That sounds great then. Look forward to seeing the updated piccys.

Curiosity get me.....Where do you come across a bunch of second hand 8020....cause i really need to come across some...

It is a good idea of the bottom rail being the adjustable one for slack etc and it will work....however a couple things to take into account are:

How fiddly is this proceedure going to be. By...

Gotta love the amana tool router bits, in particular the in-groove system. I bought one and used it once before i started upgrading the machine so am waiting to give it a real test. I also bought the...

CNC is definitely alot of fun but can soon become an obsession. lol.

Can you post one with the tower sides shown as well. My concern is due to the height of the tower, to ensure smooth travel,...

Not sure where your 5th stepper(Guessing Rotary?) is but just thinking if your not keen on the G540, you could go with G251 drivers for nema 23 steppers or G201/203 for nema 34 steppers with a decent...

Good to see someone doing a hot wire machine.

I have quite a few designs i have drawn up over time and will be looking to settle on one after building a manual benchtop machine to figure out...

Hey Chris,

Thats awesome news. I am glad i posted it and someone took the option.

I'll definitely be keen after you settle down and figure out everything along with a price for your time and...

Still lookin good Chris!!!!!

Only 1h from yourself a really good deal.

Alen,

again its great to see your setting goals and researching lots.

The DKSH website is a bit of a pain to browse but there are heaps of nice pieces throughout their site from connectors and...

I'd be interested in one of the kiosks only if someone here gets the auction. Its not a huge priority but i do know someone who i am helping with a plasma that might like one and i might give it to...

Also proxy interference isn't an issue really unless you run non shielded wiring, have ground loops in the system or running high frequency equipment aroudnt he machine at that time. When it comes to...

I too run individual switches(push button switches controlling contactors) to turn on the spindle, electronics etc. This also helps when i am running the diamond drag tool as i don't have to power up...

Alen,

Max current draw depends on everything you will end up hooking up but as a guide, 15A should be enough. At maximum draw, each of those PS pulls roughly 1.5A, a 2kw spindle is roughly 8A and...

Stick with the better drives, G203v if your not right up on your electronics or G201 if you know your stuff(if you want to save a few bucks). Nothing wrong with the G540 but for such a large machine...

Hey Rod,

Lovely as always. Love the second screen with just the toolpathing, might have to borrow that idea for mine.

Daniel

Chris, not far at all. Wonder if they'd let you look at them before sale ends. Yeah i think it will go cheap because of the quantity and the unknown state of them. Might be a few more pallets though...

Hey everyone,

Just saw this on ebay and was thinking about watching it to see if it would would be worth buying them and repairing them to re-sell to the cnc community for a small profit. But...

Nice looking machine Kym. What DOC do you get with a 1/4in router bit and 1/2 router bit? Do you get much jitter during heavy cuts as those gantry sides look a little thin?

Good example of what...
