[Emc-users] New SoC

Possibly Useful for LinuxCNC, but equally possibly too expensive. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/udoo/udoo-bolt-raising-the-maker-world-to-the-next-leve?ref=20ae5a I bought one of the original UDOO boards but never got round to doing much more than building a Xenomai (I think) kernel. I thi

[Emc-users] OT: machine geometry

I saw this machine style for the first time, so I thought I'd share. There's a few videos, but they don't concentrate on showing the motion range. Here are two; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvJmIP4OCIE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCDsWHAF2BU The machine/ company is here; http://www.cyba

Re: [Emc-users] OT: machine geometry

I found the manufacturer's web site http://www.cybamantech.co.uk/en/products/milling_machines/cybaman_replicator The milling machine comes in both 5 and 6 axis versions. You ask why this is different from other 5-axis mills. Likely so as to make it possible to add the 6th axis without need to r

Re: [Emc-users] OT: machine geometry

At an auction here in Wichita one of these (a different brand) sold for about USD4000.00 a couple months ago. The guy told the auctioneer's office he would have paid more than USD40,000.00 for the machine. He felt he got a steal. There are a couple dental labs here in town. I almost went but all I

A,b and index. I'm beat for the day , I will follow up tomorrow, been really busy in shop, beginning an ls swap and restoration of an 83 3/4 ton Chevy for a customer. That will limit my ability to get this done , but will provide much needed funds. Also, I won the bid on that 6 horse bldc 37 NM mo
