    Kx1 stepper motor.

    Hi. I've owned my Seig kx1 cnc milling machine for thirteen years with no real problems. I'm fine with mechanical problems but electronics is a completely different matter. Over the past few weeks I've been experiencing several problems when running proven programs, such as the program...

    Ingenious, I take my hat off to people who think out of the box. But, on balance the choice between the time and effort in making the fixture and with no real guarantee that my efforts would be successful versus a set of precision gears for 18 euros, although a tough one, I think I'll go with...

    Thanks for the vote of confidence Terry, I can't see any reason why it won't work. I suspect few engineers don't have a cnc with a forth axis as I don't know of any other way, except for a dividing head driven by a gear train from the table feed to produce these gears, so have no other choice...

    Hi. I've come late to this particular feast, I'm only a few weeks into my build, I have a basic question regarding the two helical gears for the distributor drive, is there a particular reason why they have to be a14 tooth gear? Surely if the gears are 1:1 ratio they could be larger, say 10...
