Hey, all!
I normally just listen to the wisdom spouted by all you experts (the
status of which I aspire to reach someday!). I built my own
gantry-style router running LCNC. Each side of the gantry is driven by
it's own stepper and Acme screw. HOWEVER, to avoid racking, I have both
sides loc
Gene:
In answer to your question, NO, I have not found a built version of
gCNCCAM 4.4.2. I am running the 4.4.1 version pointed to in the
Sourceforge page for gCNCCAM. It IS old, but does what I need it to, so
I'm not too upset it isn't currently maintained! Heck, I'm not well
maintained ei
Gene:
I didn't recompile gCNCCAM, I just loaded the ".deb" file and ran that.
Worked fine on my system.
Good Luck!

Gene:
Have you looked at gCNCCAM? I normally use qCAD to generate my part,
then gCNCCAM to turn it into gcode. gCNCCAM will automatically generate
multiple passes to handle deeper cuts than one Z-axis pass allows! You
just specify Z-axis depth of cut and target (final) depth and gCNCCAM

codger, but still young at heart.
At the risk of being too far off topic, I'd like to add one more war
story to Gene's list.
Back in the early 60's, I had a 2-way radio repair and maintenance
business. Remember, you youngsters,
I've had one of the Diamond toolholder for years and I love it!! It
also comes with an adapter to hold the toolbit at the proper angle when
resharpening, making such a task a snap.
The ONLY time I don't use it is when the particular job calls for a
carbide bit, otherwise, the Diamond toolholde

I have the Lyman Turbo Pro, which is essentially the same thing (I think
Midway carries it also). It does a great job cleaning ammunition
brass. The vibratory action is quite good - sorta reminds me of a slow
mini tornado with a rolling action, where the media and the shells come
up fr
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.
