[Emc-users] HAAS 5c indexer

Hi! I'm looking at a HAAS 5C (HA5C) rotary indexer. It comes with the controller. From what I'm reading, these things operate via RS232. I've searched but have not found anyone talking about running a fourth axis with one of these on their mill. My controller is the mesa 7i77. If someone has

Hi Gene, You aren't the only one. I have a couple of the other type sitting around unused. Les So I probably bought the wrong one. Expertise comes from the experience of doing it wrong. :) ___ Emc-users mailing list

Re: [Emc-users] Would this blower be usefull as a low pressure mister for this 6040

With that thin of a chip it is doing more "rubbing" than "cutting", and with a lot of heat in the chip, it is likely going to start friction welding the chips to the cutter. Things can go downhill very fast, and a broken cutter will result! With the cooling rig that I have, the part often comes

Yes, Tool 1 has a new entry for X after running the posted gcode (unset offsets are not present). Note that this was tested using Tormach's PathPilot which is a thinly skinned version of LinuxCNC since I don't have a "real" version to try it on. > -Original Message- > From: andy pugh

Here's a fellow in AU with a test of cheap vs expensive solar panels. Turns out the $90 panel puts out significantly more amps than the $300 panel he bought.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-sc4rlV93g Some commenters note the cheap panel is using the newest thing in PV cells. No contact wires

I recently made a couple of coolant units based on eBay mister heads like this one . These ones with the straight end on the nozzle seem to be better quality than the ones
