General Mach Discussion / RPM connection help

« on: February 25, 2010, 08:57:10 AM »

I would like to fit a RPM sensor to my mill, but I do not know where to connect it to the C11G Parallel Interface Board. I have used pin 15 for a probe so I have no more spare input pins. Is it possible to connect X and Y Limit to the same input, say pin 11 then giving me a free input pin 12?

Thanks

FAQs / Gear cutting

« on: November 18, 2008, 03:28:46 PM »

Hi
I am new to CBC machining an need some help cutting gears or more precise - clock wheels. I have managed to set up the machine to cut gears but the problem is to get the exact dept of cut. When cutting clock wheels it is not so much the depth of cut that matter but that there is no flat on the tip of the tooth. Is there a easy way to toggle the dept in the first sett up before the whole gear is cut? Any Help will be much appreciated.
