    For Sale 2x size kerzel hit and miss pricing

    Admittedly the more I look at it, the more I still want to finish the model. It was to a point that most operations are lathe related as I still have my lathe. After selling off the mill and it’s related workholding, the task seems rather daunting. I’ve been looking into small milling...

    3020 China mill ?s and issues.

    As far as I know machine zero is front left for homing. My work zero changes dramatically though. I'm having trouble finding a correct one thru fusion. And ugs seems to always be opposite of what he screen shows. After the other night disappointments I went to try some files knowing that...

    3020 China mill ?s and issues.

    Finally made it back to the machine. And while I would LOVE to report good news, again failure. So hooked up limit switches , set all needed setting, and now it will try to home only the z axis by slamming all the way to the work for 20 sec. Even reset the mm inches and still a parser error...

    3020 China mill ?s and issues.

    I'm sure my posts seem angry by nature, although not pointed at anyone, I am just getting tired of all the doors I try are slammed in my face concerning cnc. Trying to find a definitive option is still elusive concerning setups. Some use candle, some arduino, some ugs, so my problem is any one...

    3020 China mill ?s and issues.

    After some more research tiny accomplishments were made. Although reading up on the grbl settings for $100-$122 are quite puzzling Some state the math being a high number such as 444, and some suggest low numbers like 40 for 100-101-102. Then for the 110-111-112 & 120-121-122 are...

    Well gentlemen I am glad to report I have successfully ran my first cnc program. After reading up on shielding practices, I separated and twisted all the wires. It was literally a bird nest. So I ran the program and it did make the beginning cut, then shut down. But was further thru the...

    3020 China mill ?s and issues.

    As of now I have not. I did remove a few zip ties , as all of the wires from the motors are bunched together very tightly. And with such a small machine, it appears no shielding. My limited understanding of shielded wire would entail wrapping alum. foil around the wires so,, today I will...

    3020 China mill ?s and issues.

    ive decided to stay with ugs and see if I can work out the issue. I'm sure candle and easel are good programs, they are just not working for me, so after an initial boil down of where the problem begins , it seems to go offline when it wants to start the actual cut cycle. It will move to its...
