Ya.. stay away from eBay for critical CNC parts lol

On more thing I didn't think about, you're not trying to run the files off a flash drive are you? I've seen others have problems if they don't download the CNC file to the PC. Just throwing it out there since it's a lot cheaper than buying a new PC. Disregard if you already knew this. Dan Nope ,did...

Here's the thing Rob The first file (2D Shamrocks) takes 14 mins to cut 75 ipm. I would come in the morning turn everything on run that file 3 to 4 times in a row perfect. Run it one more time, it would make it to the 2nd shamrock one time and start acting up like in the video, or sometimes on the f...

Update Well I just couldn't leave it set up with out smoothing working, it had to be something else. Not able to find anything in the control box wrong and all the software settings I tried still nothing. So one last box to check, the CNCPC ,a dedicated one to just run the CNC,internet turned off.

Hi I would like to weigh in on a macro I'd like to see on a router. I would like a laser Zero button to zero the X & Y with a cross hair laser , with a dust shoe it can be hard to see the tool tip position. You would need to put the offsets in for the laser to the center of your spindle, Much li...

Well I have the Servos bench tested and running under Acron, so good so far. :D Before I mounted up the motors and cables, I thought I'd run the offending file.

Hi Here is my 2 cents on 203v witch I have 4 of. Sell em and buy new drives. I can only get 50 ipm out of mine before they start throwing fits and loosing steps and stalling altogether. I had mine wired to the Acron header with resistors and now use the DB25 port (no resistors needed). To see if it ...

Before I put the ...

Hey Dan My excel is at .7 I slowed it down in hope it would give it more time to catch up and that's all I changed still the same. I'm trying to go about this like in my drag racing days, one change then make a pass or 2 Just need to know what changes to make. Hardware... Software I tried slowing it...
