Hi Guys
Mike from the nwt, building a cnc and know I'm gonna need help with it. started as a mechanic up here and now run power plants
but needed a hobby for these long winters. I've been building a router with electronics from stepper online and have downloaded the mach 3 trial
hooked up to a 5 axis bob and dell 755 (old work computer) so far everything has been working good and the setup in mach 3 was easy enough
i do have one issue where all my steppers growl and rotate a couple degrees every 30 (exactly) seconds but i think it probably has something to do with the computer
dro doesn't change at all
i am trying to locate a spare to try, I've been reading these posts for months and they are whats been getting me through my problems so far
i think this interest all started when i picked up a homebuilt 3d printer a few years back
there is so much that can be done but also so (much more) that needs to be learned
