Gentlemen,
We bought a cement mixer from Harbor Freight.
The local pickup bed spray armor guys sprayed the inside and
outside of the barrel.
Works great.
Media can be very aggressive and the coating shows very little
wear after many hours use.
thanks
Stuart

Get the 93832-2VGA media to go with it, sounds like the best for harder
metals.

That's the one I have and it does fine, but as Phil said you need to match
the cutting medium to the work. Phil's suggestion to line the bowl is a good
one, too. I'm not using an agressive cutting material, but I can see where
the bowl would wear out quickly with something that was agressive.

Thanks for all the great info, Phil! I have decided to go with the HF

I'm very glad to hear that these are in actual CNC machine shop use. That
adds some credibility. I was afraid to pick one up, and then sit there all
day, only to find nothing changing on the parts.
I'm going to snag this one:

coolant/water injector timing, you know fun stuff :)
At one level it seems wasteful to apply the abilities of EMC2 to tasks like
these but I've been known to use EMC to start the coffeemaker.

I've used some from Harbor Freight. They are typical HF quality, but fine
for light use and fairly quiet. I've got a relative who owns a CNC machine
shop that uses them as well. And they are cheap.

I had a similar problem. I "solved" it by using a toothed timing belt
between each screw, such that both sides were forced to stay in
alignment. That way, I didn't need to worry about misalignment during
either homing or actual milling. I only used one homing switch for the
axis this way.

Hi Howard
Glad to hear of your interest in EMC2. It is a great system for students
because it will allow you to experiment with most motion control variables.
The pdf at the link you posted includes a lot of sales pitch. It appears to
have been written and edited by someone with limited motio
Hello,
for what you want to accomplish you need a special motion control board.
A list with supported hardware by emc2 can be found at:

Best regards,

Hi RobI've been curious about these dual drive axes for quite a while now. There are several possible mechanical lashups with something like this. It seems to me that in order to allow separate homing of each drive, there would have to be a swivel on one side or the other of the mechanical slide.
WE Chan,
The amplifier shown on Page 12 can be used in Speed mode
on CN1 pins 21 and 20
(not STEP or PULSE )
EMC2 would command the motion by an additional card ( Mesa 5i20 and 7133
for example) that would generate analog voltages to your amplifier.
The 5i20 would actually generate PWM, the 7i
Dear All,
I am a student. I will use a open platform system to control three axis AC
Servo motors in my final year project(FYP). I searched a EMC2 in the internet.
It is base of the linux OS, it supports maximum 9 axis (very powerful), GM
code and graphics mode. It is very suitable for

Thanks Eric,
That did the trick. And my apologies to the group for posting the same
question twice. I got nervous first thing in the morning when I did not see
my post from the night before.
