There is a new video showing a file getting cut a t 300 IPM with a 1/16inch mill  in brass... The mill willl now do 500IPM  That is about all I think I can get out of the mill at this point, But I have a 10inch 4th axis that is next on the list!


View it here. May take a few moments to start to stream.

If the above flash video does not work for you, you can try this wmv version.

Is your machine capable of going the 500ipm the servos can deliver? being, will it wear way too fast?

Brian That is awesome!!

When the big project is done we ae going to put AD 1k on our BP clone, i can't wait!

how is the g rex treating you? I am just kind of waiting until it is a little more mature but it seems to be running pretty well!

Kudos to ART and MARISS

The screws should take the velocity no problem and the ways are not cast on cast... they have tercite (Sorry for the spelling) and it needs WAY OIL

Chad there are a few more bugs but for the most part it is running VERY well... There is going to be an update in the firmware that should fix most of the bugs. So I think in the next few months you should see this grow into a great product!

Hi Brian,
I found some good deals on chinese ac servos, they are very similar to the ones automation direct offers, but their software is in chinese, is there need for the software to get the automation direct servos running with mach 3? or is it just a monitoring software?

You are going to need the software to get the servo's up and running... But you could (I think) turn them with the keypad on the drives.

Brian

Boy that was a fast reply,
I assume you mean tune (instead of turn), the guy is translating me the manual, I see what i can make of it.

Sorry I must have lathe on the brain 

Brian,
     what mill is this. are there pictures posted somewhere. besides the video of it running.  I am looking for info to to retrofit 2 large knee mills a bridgeport with 30 taper and a Lagun with 40 taper. both cnc. the bridgeport is a R2E4 servo machine and a Lagun I think it is a FT3V  photo's are posted on my web site.
Thanks
