torque should be in the 1000-1200 oz-in in range I assume you mean instantaneous peak torque. Those numbers translate to 62.5 - 75.0 in-lb, which is 2-3x the continuous stall torque that a knee mill with 10 revs/inch typically needs. when we put steppers on machines like this with the CNC4 they wer...

thanks for reporting back!

please post a photo album of the machine so we can see the whole thing

make sure to purchase the 6400 step per rev clearpaths (and not the 800 step per rev units) Teknic should publish commonly used clearpath motor sizes/type/model to replace common CNC machine tool axis motors instead of starting from ground zero with each customer. love their product but, starting fr...

So your saying that the joystick need to just be simple mechanical "switches", yes? So this means my idea of using my 3 axis, analog joystick is not going work. :( I had high hope for this. analog cnc joy stick? never seen one on a CNC, all the ones i've opened up are just switches inside...

So as it currently stands The original board is not repairable. We purchased a new board. The process has taken quite a w...

Sean, Hello. We just held back some Hickory orders for a few days while we finalized a new Firmware version for the BBG on the Hickory. Its not a "new board" It is easier for us to update the firmware before shipping rather than you trying to do it later so we had a little shipping delay w...

Thank you, Keith! This is finally starting to click with me. The acorn and CNC 12 are getting easier and easier as I use it. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/289319/SS_jpg-3144200.JPG wow thats great! thanks for posting. would be awesome if you made a post in "Success Stories" https:...
