Hello Andy,
Well, I thought about doing that
You may want to look at Gates Design IQ and Design Flex Pro software.
I think they are still free. I have used Design IQ more than a few times.
It has worked great. Many many belts to choose from.
We did one project that required a two sided toothed belt to gave two opposing
shafts opposite

Gene,
This tool will allow you to check the relative square of a machine tool.

Mathematically, you don't need an absolute reference. If you have a
perfect mill it would still be a perfect mill if put in on a slanted
floor. What matters is the relative angles of the axis.
Yes we can mesure these angles with inexpensive tools assuming you
have one "good" larger size square
The GT3 is a great profile to use.

So, lets say I have a machine that has non-tricial kinematics (I mill
with the z-axis tilted 30 degrees) and I write the kinematics routines
correctly. Then you are saying the machine will not honor accel and
velocity limits?
But all machines are like this, not 30 degress certainly but some
I'm doing a new design CNC build. I will be using timing belts and
medium-size (NEMA 23 and 34) stepper motors.
Question: What tooth profile is the best to use? The goal would be
minimum backlash then things like noise and belt wear. I can choose
anything I want because this is for a new

We tried that with "probekins" and it turned out not to to work very well.
external-offsets seems like a better way as it honours accel and
velocity limits.

The problem with a tilted bed on a mill is harder than a tilted bed on
a 3D printer. The "tool" on a printer is nearly a zero dimension
point. All the printer needs to do is raise or lower the nozzle. But
with an end mill the tool is still vertical. Even worse is fly
cutting. The fly cutter

You could possibly do it with the existing software.

Hello to everyone,
So far everything is working flawlessly with the mazak and LCNC. But
there's only one thing that's worrying me.
The problem is that if I stop the program during a tool change, the
iocontrol stays on the last tool that was indexed, but my turret logic
finishes the tool change.
