I have an odd-ball machine, single purpose design, which cuts triangular tapered bamboo strips in a single pass. It's called a saw beveler. I'm a Unix/Linux bigot to begin with, so for me it was a no-brainer to go with LinuxCNC (EMC2 at the time). That being said, you would really have to work

Hello Everybody, I collected these emails of the eleven interested people who already stated their interest in a linuxcnc meeting. Four of those people are close to Stuttgart, two are from Austria (please correct me if I am wrong). So I think it would be sensible to meet somewhere in or around

This looks fantastic! The image is downloading now, and I hope to have some time this weekend to play with it. I dabbled with LinuxCNC a few years ago, and the 3D printing thing is giving me an excuse to work with it again. I'd like to find some ways to contribute. As someone who has a lot of

After rebooting, I restarted my job and it completed fine (it took 8 hours :( ) without using linuxcncrsh. Hmm, one possibility is there's a memory leak, and it ran the CNC system out of free memory. Was the disk busy (swapping)? But, I'm just guessing. I don't think so. The machine

[Emc-users] Lathe on a mill table.

2013-06-14 Thread Gregg Eshelman
Here's a thing I never would've thought of. Tormach has slightly modified a bog standard Chinese 7x12 lathe with a spindle clamp and indexing plate, then fitted it up with mounts to bolt to the table of their larger CNC mill. Put a stepper on the spindle and the lathe becomes a full 4th

[Emc-users] Timing belt system

2013-06-14 Thread Cecil Thomas
In my 10EE CNC conversion I have decided to go to either a type L (.375 between teeth) or type T10 (10 mm between teeth). I think I will need the belts to be heavier than the XL that I used on my Millrite conversion because the apron drive will require 12 inches between the pulleys. Does
