WOW!!!

On my 3rd gantry and will use the #25 chain powered by 2 SureStep 276's on X but will continue to use the leadscrew on Y. It is 7' long in X and 3' in Y.

@anajonesr OMG i had to watch it over again. Yes that chain is very quiet! I must have heard it around 26 seconds and thought that noise was coming from the chain hahaha! Awesome job!! What do you mainly plan on machining?

@Defimov7 Compared to most people that post comments on YouTube, your English is excellent.

Nice work! How long did the build take?

@marshgre That build was a while ago. After all the parts were fabricated, it took around a day to assemble and test.

That chain drive is LOUD. Why not go with a belt drive?

@diyengineer The #25 chain that I commonly use is extremely quiet. Anyway, the sound emitting from the router and machining is far more noisy and cacophonic. I definitely won't be using this machine in my bedroom anymore. :)

@diyengineer By the way, after viewing the video again, the noise you are hearing is mostly coming from the motors. I may have had the drivers set to 1/4 microstepping which is not too quiet. The chain does have a slight sound, but the other noises around it is actually louder. Thanks for allowing me to reminisce. :))

Patrick, what kind of steppers and what kind of drivers are you running? Your table is really fast. Are you sure you didn't speed that video up? Mine won't even think about moving that fast.

@TheLonetreecreations Since you are running a machine with roller chain, you should be able to get to a velocity comparable to the one in the video. You may not have the steps per inch correctly set according to the microstepping of the drivers. Let me know what your settings are for your drivers and steps per inch via email.
