Project 1 from EmptyNester. Category: Custom Shop Tools - CNC Table

[EmptyNester]

I just completed doing all the wiring in the cable trays/energy chains and all the limit switches.

The stock torch wasn't long enough and I had wanted a longer torch since I got the unit. I ordered a 25' one on e-bay from "3Shop River" last Saturday and it got here yesterday. So I was able to finish my cabling.

The fit in the energy chain was tight, so I ended up cutting off the plastic sleeve on the torch for the portions that ran inside the chain. That made everything fit comfortably. Everything seems to work fine.

I need to do some more configuration on Mach. It sees the limit switches and stops, but you can't shift off the limit switch. I recall there was a setting somewhere for that, just haven't looked yet.

I had leveled some slats with washers, but then took them out to seal all the seams. I'll use the washers to level them until I get the table going and figure out a better solution.

All I have to do if finish wiring the torch on/arc good lines in my Arduino interface so that I can try cutting.



As much as I want to work on it tomorrow, I'll probably spend most of the day trying to get the hovercraft running again. I'd like to get it going well enough for at least one high speed run before it gets put away for the winter.

The feedrate is the "F10"

Try changing the 10 to a 20 or 30 and rerun the program exactly the same otherwise and you will see the difference.
