Great stuff! Good discussion speed, no drib drab.

Love the videos, you should have asked around about the drives and motors though, you could have had ten times the performance for less money. At least you could have used the same motors and got digital drives, I mean gezz tormach could have at least given digital drive instead of analog.

@mmprestine By buying them from a third party? You should read the research paper tormach published on the extensive research and modifications they did in tandem with the manufacturer - tormach.com/uploads/document_l­ibrary/TechnicalDocuments/TD_S­eries_3_Whitepaper_v4.0.pdf And I, like many, need a company to support the product if and when it fails.

Much anticipated, greatly appreciated.

Keep 'em coming

[saunixcomp]

@smackbabie You got it.

Welcome back glad to see your shop is doing great!

Great to see you making videos again. I really enjoy watching them.

1,4 Nm on servo drived motors and ballscrews can go faster and better positioning than Leadshines. I use Granite dDevices which can drive steppers and servos in all shapes will 160 volts and a max of 40 amps per driver. See movies I have made while testing ;-)

Been watching you for a couple of years now. I'm glad your still alive and kicking. Welcome back.

I bet a lot cheaper too

[saunixcomp]

@jeremy0203 You sure could have. Heck, I could have probably built the whole mill cheaper by DIYing it. But that's not what I want. I want a company that does months of professional research. A company that works with the driver manufacturer to TWEAK the code. A company that warrantys their work. And company that treats its customers well and sells its products for a reasonable profit.

[jeremy0203]

Could got the same motors and drivers from keling a long time ago

[landshark22]

looks like a picatinny rail compatible part you have there on the computer. I saw in earlier vids you're also into shooting are you making firearms accessories?

[saunixcomp]

@landshark22 Yup

[saunixcomp]

By the way - I JUST cleaned all the chips out of the stand tray. They were almost as high as the fixture table last week.

@saunixcomp Thanks for your candour in the follow up videos on the use of the plate IE clamping the fixtures into the vices and finding zero ...
