Hey Bill, been listening to your podcast for the past week or so while at work. Started from the beginning and working my way through them. Are you going to be doing more episodes of the podcast?

@BillGriggs 8 ай бұрын

Hey Steve. Thanks for listening to The CNC Router Tips Podcast. I can't say when I will make more episodes but if you have a specific topic you would like to see covered let me know.

@HowToFromMeToYou 7 ай бұрын

@BillGriggs Thanks for getting back to me Bill, I didn't have any particular subject. I'd be interesting to hear some episodes possibly updated and how things have changed from then to now. With V12 being out now and how cnc machines have come a long way since the recording of the episode and things of that nature, I'd think it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Wow that is the first time I have ever seen someone put a ruler on the axis! Awesome Idea. Great way to get the settings in the ballpark when you lack a micrometer!

The ruler gets you close enough before dropping down to a dial indicator.

My coolant hose got munched too. Found the perfect replacement at Ace for $12. It's for a shower and looks like the exact same hose that came with the machine.

@BillGriggs Жыл бұрын

Later on in my adventure I changed quite a bit of the coolant system. I changed to a bigger coolant tank with a 1/8 hp sump pump motor if I recall. Then added the Tormach Smartcool. Lots of upgrades over the years.

@@BillGriggs I'm working on lots of things. I recently upgraded my cnc. I was an early sponsor of the SO3 and purchased the XXL upgrade while it was still available, but built nice table and enclosure with dust collection. In addition, I set up my prusa farm, been experimenting with alternatives to the PI4, to load Octoprint, and recovering from last week's surgery. Oh, I am automating my c-6 telescope.. So, I'm like you, working on lots of things.

What a great speaking voice you have. I just upgraded to Mach4 and an ESS card but it is giving me trouble with spurious triggering. Prob just a matter of VFD noise, but how can it be so sensitive.? Never had the problem with my cheap factory supplied Mach3 USB 4 axis controller. Our Canadian dollar is so low right now that Centroid Acorn would set me back 30% extra in the conversion. There seems to be no end to the upgrades one can do. Closed loop steppers or moving to servos. Big money. Next thing you know you're into a rewire, and larger cabinet.
