Hi all; Finally fixed the Oldham couplers for my X/Y axes on my latest build, and was measuring backlash for inserting in the LinuxCNC ini file.
This is for a "G0704" style of mill conversion, using one of those kits from the old KeilingCNC place. X/Y/Z is 0.1mm, 0.24mm 0.1mm or, 2.5 thou, 9 thou, 2.5 thou. Is this considered "ok" or "out of range"? I've put these figures in my mill ini file, and it's currently running the X and Y axes back and forth; will measure it again after a bit of wearing in. Any thoughts/comments? (as an aside, Andy Pugh's feedback for spindle soft-gearing works a treat - thank you again Andy) John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
