My Woodwork

[Khalid Khattak]

Those are some cool gizmos. I built something similar several years ago and hooked an airbrush up to it. Got the logic chips, powersupply and all that stuff and put it together from scratch. I think I used a pc of free ware called danplot to drive the actual stepper motors...

Again, cool stuff - I'm jealous

Width: 480 mm
Relief Height from Flat : 7 mm

After a Long Looooong timeeeeeeeee....Today I worked on my 4th axis... Did some flutes and Vcarving on scrap wood ...

[Ken Higginbotham]

So 1 is horizontal, 2 rotates the pc, 3 moves the cutting head in and out, what does 4 do?

[Khalid Khattak]

1- Along X-axis
2- Along Y-axis
3- Along Z-axis
4- Rotary Axis

At a time I use only 3-axis i.e. 1 +3+ 4

Can you post some better pictures of the machine? I'm having a hard time picturing what’s going on...

Hmmm... Ken if you go through my thread you will see the complete machine along with my DIY rotary Indexer...

However you can see the machine with indexer in following

Oh... Sorry.

Hum...

So the x axis is simple enough - back and forth.

For the y axis, or vertical axis movement, does the rotary indexer increment to rotate the work pc to mimick vertical movement?

[james mcgrew]

kahlid, what software are you using to a) generate the file and b) software to convert to 4rth axis wrap

thanks again

yes X-axis back and forth and Z-axis up and down and rotary indeser rotate in degrees

Jim I am using Artcam for both a) and b) I have independent rotary axis so no swapping of Y-axis to A-axis...

The above indexing work i posted will remember you some special you did for me... "A gift from a woodworker to a woodworker"

With compliments and thanks
