Subject: CNC Topics

Hi All,

I don't mind CNC chat at all, as long as it applies to ornamental turning or
the Legacy equipment.  It's the future and I know we have people on the list
that own both manual and cnc machines.   I encourage those user to speak up
and show off, or talk about the problems of computer controlled woodworking.

This remind me that another member here, Rich Goldner, is still going strong
with his Wizards for Mach3 that enable you to use your 4th axis as an
indexer for making polygons, reeding, tapers, rounds, engraving text and
more.   I'm not a user of his software, but it looks good to me.

It sounds as if either the rails that hold the router are tilted or the
tailstock is lower than the headstock.

I have been busy turning a cane using a 1" barley twist with two starts.
The turnings start out fine and continue about 6 inches; however, after that
flats start showing up.  What is causing the flats?  Can you please help me
out?

Yes, I designed my own rotary axis. Take a look at the pictures on Joe's

for about eight years). Joe's hybrid as well as my rotary axis use steppers.
I use Gecko G203V stepper drivers. I have seen no effects from humidity on
the MDF. The three carriages are sealed and painted. The MDF table is bare.

Rich,
  Is the rotary axis mod you speak of your own design or are there actual
printed plans for it? Does your Joe use Mach3 for control or something else?
I presume it uses stepper motors and controllers as well? Also, does
humidity have any type of adverse effect on the MFD framing? (I presume that
it is painted and sealed well).

My sugestion is to build the Joe CNC 4by4 Hybrid and add a rotary axis.  This 
will give you a fully functionaly CNC router and ability tt do rotary stock up 
tp 6" by 36".  Total cost will be around $3500 which is les than the CNC 900

Re: Rich's Indexer Wizards

2009-05-24 Thread Rich Goldner

You don't have to wait for a standalone version (no due date yet). Download 
and install the Mach3 demo (no cost). Purchase and install my wizards. After 
using my wizard and returning to the Mach3 main page just press the "Edit 
G-Code" button. Notepad will start and will show the code from the wizard. 
Use notepad to save the code to a file of your choice. Then use that file 
with the shopbot conversion utility.

My wizards use the surface of the cylinder as Z zero except for the rounding 
wizard. With the rounding wizard you have to use the center of the rotary 
axis as Z zero. If you didn't do that you might not get the diameter you 
wished sinc the material could be rough or off center.

All of my wizards allow you to set the max depth of cut per pass.

Re: This is the plan

2009-03-30 Thread Rich Goldner
Art, I'm hoping to finish up my rotary axis for the hybrid within two weeks. 
Mine will be able to handle stock up to eight inches in diameter. I will be 
able to do this by rotating the router 90 degrees. Essentially the Y axis will 
be used as the Z axis. I have my axes setup differently then Joe's. My Y axis 
is the gantry and the X axis are the two non-moving 8020 extrusions. This is 
just the opposite of Joe's.

I shortly will start work on a new wizard to be added to my indexer wizards 
package. This wizard will allow you to draw a profile in VCarvePro or another 
Cam program. It will then carve that profile into the stock. Think of making a 
drawing of a baseball bat (actually only drawing half of the profile since any 
profile on a rotary axis is symmetrical) and then using that drawing to carve 
the stock into a baseball bat. It should work with just about any profile. I 
have been thinking about how to do this for a long time and think that I 
finally have it figured out. I hope that you will be willing to test it when 
it's finished. As promised, once the profile wizard is finished all previous 
customers will get it as a free upgrade.

  I will post details of the Hybrid on my site.  Since I have  router  
capabilities with the Evolution I will be milling the parts on it and some 
materials may varied since I have access to all sorts of things.  
  The plans for the rotary axis is that it will be bolted to the table when 
needed and will be 6" by 48" capacity.  
  Joe's designed so that the builder has very limted tools to work with.  I 
will vary some because of the tools I have avaliable. The base will be welded 
instead of Unistrut.  
  As to the wizards from Legacy, I believed they quoted $25 for the upgrade 
before they found out that I didn't have one of their machines and hung up.  I 
will get back with them and see what can be worked out.

Re: Trade show

Legacy is offering a service to convert your flat gcode to wrap around a 
cylinder. I believe they are charging $10 a pop. Unfortunately, it is not 
uncommon to have made a mistake in CAD and have to do this multiple times. That 
can get pretty expensive. My wrap wizard doesn't change gcode it makes Mach3 
believe that the rotary axis is the Y axis and automatically makes the flat 
gcode work to wrap around the cylinder. My wizards only cost $75 and can do 
much more then just wrap code around a cylinder.

  Hi Curt
  Thanks for the reply. Converting a flat carving and doing it in the round I 
wonder if this is the same as Rich's wrap program. If Rich sees this reply 
please.  Was Tracy comparing stepper motors versus servos? Since the unit was 
only 4 feet long, the play and twisting along the X axis due to only one lead 
screw would be less than the longer units. Was the CNC upgrade the performance 
or the standard upgrade? No mention of support for non CNC users?
  Regards,
  Ron
