General Mach Discussion / CNC lathe
« on: April 28, 2007, 10:29:21 AM »
I am interested in buying a tabletop cnc lathe with a linear encoder.  I would prefer to buy it as a complete system I really do not have the time to build one myself.

Any suggestions on which to get?

Thanks

Dan.

Saw this on another forum but using the MS onscreen keyboard makes it easier for me to type in simple text rather then moving from my mouse to a keyboard.  Not  a big deal but nice and free.  Under start->all programs->accessories->accessibility

General Mach Discussion / Re: Rotary axis question

Thanks Graham...

Well I tried a new piece of software that did some engraving on a band and the text is coming out inverted (mirrored). The only thing I can think of is the rotary axis is turning the wrong direction. 

And in fact I never looked but I also would believe (guess) that the positive direction would turn the table so that the degree markings on the table would be increasing 0-360 and negative would be decreasing 360-0 values.

The most stable version I have found for backlash and rotary milling is version 1.9X

Thanks

We stayed at the Rho Hotel right in Dam Square.  We arrived on a Friday.  One thing is people in Amsterdam don't stop partying till the sun rises...

Tangent Corner / Amsterdam, NL

Well here is the proof.  We had a blast and Amsterdam is a great place to visit.

It looks like this everywhere. No garbage, no bums, no crime.



The only problem with the canals is parking.  Locals say they lose a car a week in the drink.  Notice the rear wheel. Thats parallel parking!



Another favorite form of transportation is the bike.  Mothers and fathers taking the kids around is an adventure.



Also if you have to go and your a guy there is convenient out door urinals.



And of course you cannot forget the "coffee shops".  If you really want coffee you go to a cafe.



And if your in a hurry there is a to-go solution.



Variety is the key and in fact hash is available.



And there is some magic around...



Finally there is the red light district.  I only had the nerve to take this photo... the locals said that it is not a good thing to photograph the "girls".  Funny thing is every time we went by the museum old people were coming and going.
 


Oh, and we did meet a few celebrities... This is my daughter Dylan.



Thanks for looking.

Dan.
