Hi Dave, I am well thanks for asking, how are you? I think you asking me to introduce myself is a little off this foums topic dont you? I also don't see how I could be determined as a Spammer or Bot, obviously the information I am providing is not the style used by someone spamming. What is...

So did everyone get that? I think we should follow this persons advice.... "A typical stepper driver uses a high voltage- as much as 25 times the motors rated voltage" So that means the TB6560's I have that are rated for a "VOLTAGE RANGE" (I think the key word there is "RANGE") of 12V to 36V I...

I agree whole hearted. The IC may be rated for higher voltage than the motor is rated at and yes you can supply more voltage to the motor if the IC can handle it, however it is not a good idea, Ensteins theory of relativity states that energy cannot be distroyed or created only transformed...

No a 3 axis mill moves a spindle on three plains, X, Y and Z. In the case of the 3D printer an Extruder or Deposition head is used rather than a spindle like a dremel, some mills use only carbide inserts, look at vertical boaring mills. I also have a three axis mill with four Nema 17 motors...

Yes a typo, it is supposed to read "not Incorrect" I am sure other people reading would have caught that

The RepRap 3D printer uses Arduino. It's basicly a mill that extrudes plastic. Cheers, Rob Http://www.whatisacnc.om

There are some alternatives to this, you can also use a PLC or Micro Controller like Arduino in place of the Computer. You still need to program it and will probably use a computer to do so, but it is an alternative. So here is another list of things you can use to run a home Mill, Lathe, or 3D...

How about for North American suppliers? Any ideas on suppliers? I need an XL timming belt from time to time.

Those will work but since you want this stand alone you will need a micro controller of some kind, the more common is Arduino. You can just use the I/O's on the Arduino and attach the driver board your showing, the Arduino obtains logic voltage threw the USB so if your running things without the...

Has anyone here used these TB6560's with EMC? I have no experience with the software but want to give it a try, Mach3 costs money and the trial version only runs a limited number of lines of G-code. Any tips? Also wondering if configuration works similar to Mach3. Thanks Rob...

Here is what I have found for pin-out and configuration in Mach3 Ports and Pins: X axis 2, 3 Y axis 4, 5 Z axis 6, 7 You should have no problems after that, this board has safety features too, I noticed it's better than the Blue TB6560 board found on E-bay and sold out of China. For one if the...
