Today, we look back at how we have progressed with our cnc machines. I started to investigate how to control cnc movement using a floppy drive. The floppy drive of a computer already had a stepper motor for moving the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As my movable bed cnc machine was quite small, the whole machine, computer CPU, monitor, keyboard, and power supply were able to be placed on a trolley. This made it easier to move the whole assembly around. This feature was […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Taking note of the findings after rough tramming of Z-axis on the Movable Gantry CNC Machine, I decided that the Movable Gantry Z-axis drive mechanism needed a major makeover as there were too many inaccuracies. These inaccuracies came about because […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I have decided to document some of the activities that had gone on since the last time I burnt my stepper motor drivers. It was interesting for me and maybe it could be interesting for some of you too. As […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
