The Y axis rails are 1" diameter.  Got the Y ball screw and drive installed and running yesterday. Initial tests are going nicely! Mach3 is running smooth on Windows Server 2003.

Question to the masses...any reason why bringing the proximity output voltage (12VDC) down to 5VDC with a potentiometer is a bad idea?

It's getting there!!! Finally getting movement -- thanks to Mach3.
Consider it a Green Machine...(with the exception of the controller components and the router) it's made of recycled parts from scrapped machinery and materials.

Hi All, My name is Dave and I'm just outside of Boston. I'm a web application programmer by trade and have had the home brewed CNC bug for a long time now. I've worked in several fields that have given me opportunity to harvest components and materials from various manufacturing machinery over the years and have been squirreling it away with the intention of putting together a 3 axis router. Alot of the materials are courtesy of Raytheon surplus so I've been lucky to have the best of what tax payer dollars can buy and then be throw away. I've made it to the point that it's about 80% built and the controller is under power and working (so far -- thanks to Mach3) and I'm really getting itchy to finish it and start carving! I've only recently stumbled accross this forum and it looks like I'll be spending alot of time here because it has been a huge benefit already! I'll post some pictures of my frankenstein in the show and tell. Thanks in advance to all of the contributors here for the answers that I'm sure I'll find here!
