It moves pretty easy by hand. I will change the accel value next time I have some cutting to do

In addition to reducing the velocity by 200?

X axis is set to: Steps per are 1019.1, velocity is 1000.2, accel is 50, G's .1295, step pulse 2, dir pulse 2

I dont have any cutting on the schedule for the rest of the week. Maybe next week I...

You are right, I have had a problem with my X motor before and it was that it was unresponsive off and on. That was a problem with the Geko card inside the control box which CandCNC hooked me up with...

I am having trouble with my X axis (single motor) losing home (0,0). I set the torch tip at the corner of my plate, zero the x and y and then it cuts my array of parts just fine. After the last cut...

That would be great thanks! I will send you a pm with my email.

Ooo! I like the collet holder. Im going to have to cut a similar one for mine. What thickness steel did you use?

Thats about all the pics I have. I can take a few more next time I am cutting something...

If you dont find anything on the pinion gear clean and then spray some white lithium grease on the rack gear and then run it side to side. That helped my noise and skipping problem.

Thanks! I saw you had mentioned the springs on another site when I was researching. A little redundancy never hurts!

Long story short my Hypertherm 1250 blew up so I replaced it with a new Powermax 85 and this time I got it with a machine torch. I needed a new/better mount for my older Bulltear Table in order to go...

Problem solved!! (hopefully....)

The first time the motor/control did have a problem but this time was just a false alarm. Moral of the story: keep your gear rack well lubed! I sprayed some white...

I did check the set screw on the gear and the torch mount does glide across the whole length smoothly. I will check it again in the morning then call or pm you back. Thanks

Well the same motor is giving me problems AGAIN. Right in the middle of a big project too. The x motor is skipping around throwing the cuts off, it has wasted a few sq ft of 1/4" plate so far by...

Talked to Tom and should have it resolved. FYI, He had me check that all the 12 screws were tight that held the gecko card on inside the Bladerunner box and they were. Then he had me switch the gecko...

Motor tuning is correct, I have checked it twice today to be sure. Problem is still popping up between cutting parts. I have tried powercycling the controll boxes and running the test on the...

Checked all the cables before starting it up this morning and everything was tight. Computer is a dedicated Pentium 4 desktop with WinXP SP#3.

It was doing the same thing this morning. I pressed...

Cut a small part today and my x axis motor is really giving me some problems now. It has acted up in the past but has really been a non-issue until now. The motor is basically stalling in one...

Got my pan made, went 3" deep, and cut out a small slat spacer to test it out. Put a 2" slat in it since it was all I had a small piece of, slats will be 3" tall. Getting close but ran into a problem...

Now it makes sense. That is the better way to do it, I was concerned with the slats holding the weight of a big sheet with only 3 small points of contact holding each one up. If I do it that way what...

Great, thanks. I was figuring on about a .155" opening so good to know it works for the u-shape. I am going to make a small test piece before cutting out the larger slat holder just to make sure it...

I am planning on building a water table soon but have a few questions about the design. I dont want to overlook anything so I figured I would get some input before I cut any pieces for it.

First...

Creepy, it happens with thc on. I have not confirmed the cutting height. The switch offset has been entered in both Mach settings and the sheetcam post. Using a normal shield, not the drag shield.
...

I will give those a try soon



Yes, it was doing that in the test mode



Using post MP1000THC. Is there a difference between MP1000 and MP1000THC? Not sure if there is even just a MP1000...
