Hello,
thanks for replying,
I guess that all what I need. it is the forth axis that rotate the workpiece, (only for wood). I do not want the spindle any more LOL. So, could I use a stepper motor in order to rotate the workpiece as the one that I see in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KNit__LJE4

hoping it is possible.

Best regards

General Mach Discussion / stepper motor as a Spindle

« on: July 21, 2009, 02:59:44 PM »

Hello,

I have a machine lathe, with two axes, X one and Z one.

Spindle is à stepper motor that works with step and direction. It works well for turning, about 470 RPM. wood turning.
Could use my spindle (stepper motor) for engraving on wood?

Thanks Robhi

Hello,
Thanks Hood, as well as all of you

I did as you said, you are right. I did so and everthing is fine...
Changing the feedrate in mastercam, that was the problem.

Thanks again

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 does not go fast

« on: June 28, 2009, 04:14:30 PM »

Hi,

I tried the programme called scorpion that is attached with mach3 files, my mill machine 3 axes goes fast, I finish the file within 4 minutes.

But I tried to do very simple programme that was designed by mastercam x design, my mill goes too slowly, it moves nearly 3mm in 10 minutes.

Is there some thing wrong in my programme?
