And Centroid is probably the biggest contender for 4, 5, 6 or more axis machine retrofits. Their All-in-one and Oak controller will easily handle a tool...

I don't think this is a LinuxCNC specific thing, but rather just a matter of programming. Same program would probably run on Centroid....

Paul, seeing that makes me want to put a better filter on my mill I have one of the Hitachi filters on mine, but it is just a torridal ferrite core...

I don't now about purple streaks, but bearing damage is caused by the PWM. The output of these drives includes a fluctuating common mode voltage that...

No issues doing this. Plenty of old mills, including mine, are run off a VFD in a hobbyist environment with zero issue. If you were pushing it harder,...

Now I know that I attract stupid......

These are the choices I got from ISMG Machinery after telling them I had a Bridgeport Series 2 CNC...

I have been servicing electronics for 40+ years now. Electrolytics have a finite life and have the highest failure rate of all components in older electronic...

[polaraligned]

Low voltage pulls, probably from computer equipment. I avoid used and old electrolytics like the plague. But it is nice of you to offer them up in case...

What little thing is extra?.

A pro license is $159 extra if you want it. For what you get that is a bargain. CNC12 is one of the most...

Sheesh. Don't get excited. It sounded like you were speaking of Penn Tool co when you said "incompetence on the floor". I was just clarifying...

[polaraligned]

Well, if you read my first post, there is 2 separate stories of incompetence. The first one is the salesman at Penn Tool, the second one is the manufacturer...

So I ended up ordering a power drawbar (made by Maxi Torque) from Annie Lam at ISMG Machinery and Tooling. She was great to work with and gave me multiple...

I contacted Penn Tool company asking for a Servo brand power drawbar as they are Servo brand dealers. Penn tool salesman called Servo company twice to...

We really need automatic mowers now? Why not just put down artificial turf? When does the laziness of humans end?
I have about 50,000 sf of lawn...

I don't really know what this part is with no picture, but back in the day there was a lot of pot metal used. One of the problems is that it would shrink...

Yeah, I would love to purchase from Yarde. Problem is that they only deliver to commercial addresses with no exceptions. Other than Yarde, there are no...

Thank you all for the input.

I have worked with Mic-6 a number of times and am familiar with it. It would be my first choice for a home...

[polaraligned]

Question is just wondering if 6061 or cast tooling plate is a reasonable choice vs 7075.
Wondering if anyone has made the same and if there were...

[polaraligned]

There is no flatness guarantee, or any tolerance guarantee for that matter. I saw a video of a guy with one of these and the fixture holes in one spot...
