Re: [Emc-users] Nother Q about these Chinese inverters

I don't think these Chinese inverters are good. I had one that worked, later I bought another that broke after 2 initial runs. I repaired it, but later it broke again. After that I prefer Yaskawa / Automation Direct / Toshiba etc. inverters from ebay. Cheaper and better. Best regards, Andrew

Re: [Emc-users] O.T.: Machining paper stack

A nice thick board on the bottom, half or 1/4" on top, clamp the outside, and run a few of screws through the middle and have at it. (Don't mill all the way through the bottom board.) - Original Message - From: "rayj" To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)"

Re: [Emc-users] O.T.: Machining paper stack

If you are hollowing out a book, why not glue the pages together first? Should be able to come up w/ some sort of super thinned out glue to dip the pages into (while holding the bookends back.) Then clamp in a press to let dry. Would have to do this w/ the covers closed to get the spine and

Re: [Emc-users] O.T.: Machining paper stack

Hollowing out books is the application. If I ever actually do this, I'll try clamping the book tightly and going at it with a mill. The main problem I see is holding the cut out portion in position. I'll probably try some router bits I already have. If those are unacceptable, I'll look into

Gene, While looking for Arduino stuff, I ran across this awhile back: http://electroshed.com/wordpress/?page_id=40 I know your proclivity for doing things yourself, so maybe you could hack something together that you would be comfortable with. On 07/27/2016 06:22 AM, andy pugh wrote: >

Re: [Emc-users] O.T.: Machining paper stack

We laser a lot of paper, and more than a few sheets at a time is a problem. The main problem is focal length when trying to cut something thick, at least with our machines and lenses. Plus all the smoke residue that gets all over every thing. - Original Message - From: "Gene Heskett"

That wiki page is not accurate in several respects, and is out of date in others. I have added a cautionary note and a pointer to the official (and hopefully more accurate) instructions that are part of the documentation package: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/master/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html
