G'day everyone,
Today I will be showing you the method I have used to CNC the dividing head, as well as the method I have used to CNC the lathe. CNC can sometimes feel like a can of worms, because there are some specialized components, control boards and software set up components to get your head around.
And whilst it can be a headache to do the first time, the process is actually quite simple. To CNC the dividing head i will be using the budget components that I have always used, which have always worked well for me. I will be using a TB6600 control board to control the stepper motors, and send pulses to them. I will also be using a basic 5 axis Mach 3 break out board. I will also be using Mach 3 CNC to control the dividing head. I will also show you how I set up the motors in Mach 3.
I hope you enjoy the video. Cheers
