An example of a great teacher, not too boring, not too much information, no monotone

Good explanation, just bought a used Sherline CNC and an old desktop to run it. Still getting set up.

You videos are super helpful and much appreciated. My late father was a machinest/millright and I just bought a sherline mill and lathe (all manual so far) and he would have loved these little machines. I have little to no milling and lathing experience and your videos have been great. I'm slowly going through them all. Thank you. All the best.

I'm sorry to see that you've quit posting videos. I was looking forward to seeing where you were headed with all this. That said, your early videos on getting started with the Sherline lathe and mill were invaluable for someone just starting out. Thanks for all you've done. It's not easy to put these videos together. Best Regards, Jim

Nice video. Thank you. I learned a lot. Unfortunately, as in a lot of things, the more you learn, the more you realize that you don't know enough yet. Looking forward to your next videos on the subject.

I have repeatedly attempted to contact him by email and through youtube or his webiste... with no reply. I'm not sure why he abruptly stopped making videos... It's also odd that his website has seen no further updates and yet it does still exist. Someone must still be paying for hosting services..

I'm glad you're back and discussing CNC! I'm putting together a Sherline (mill and lathe) based CNC system. I've chosen to use LinuxCNC, Mesa Anything-I/O card and Leadshine stepper drives. I'm looking forward to your videos. I'm sure I'll learn a lot even if you describe Mach 3/4 based systems.

Great intro. I'm really looking forward to this series. I do have a Sherline CNC mill and lathe running LinuxCNC. They are currently configured out of the box. I hope to add some of the additional features like limit/homing switches, speed sensor, touch off, etc. Thank you for sharing!!

Thanks. My system is Linux, via Sherline mill and lathe, with bespoke computer, busily blowing little green fuses. Not entirely enthralled, but recognize steep learning curve. Can't take several lifetimes to learn, only seems that way. You don't sound 97 years old, is what I'm trying to say, so am encouraged.

hello, i am traing to be a gun smith and in the market for a mini mill.. i have looked at the harbor freight and grizzly mills. but these sherline mills caught my eye.. the only problem is that there are so many options and models.. which model should i be looking at. the tasks at hand could include milling receivers to cutting ports in slides primarily for one off guns and custom work.. i will not be mass producing anything. can any one help or point me in the right direction. i am also trying to keep costs down.. i also am looking to buy a lathe..

Is the USB power feed on the second controller you showed used to power the primary side of the optical isolators or secondary side. because if it powers the secondary side it shouldn't be powered by the Computer that would defeat the purpose of the breakout board.

@DavidM2002 3 жыл бұрын

At 12:08 - after many years of home CNC milling and routing, I would never get motors without the dual shafts and have a hand wheel on one end. I'm always using mine. The extra cost is negligible. But if you try to save a few bucks and find that you need it, you are SOL and will regret it every time you look at it.

Just wondering. I have an opportunity to pick up a Sherline CNC Lathe with computer. It is an 8" model and I am not sure what package comes with it. What would be a reasonable price? I know much more information is need to get a more exact price but I was thinking no greater than 1/2 retail. Any thoughts? Nice video and great information.

i am currently developing a 5 axis cnc using the Beaglebone black on machinekit and i am also considering using dc servos for the axis using Tarocco cnc servo driver (which i am also going to use for the spindle but the software has to be changed in order to do revolutions per minute instead of position ). CAM sotware is going to be Fusion 360 :)

Thanks for the video and great information! I currently have a Sherline "manual" mill and lathe. I also have some 3d printers. I was wondering why it was that the much simpler/cheaper controllers of the 3d printers couldn't be adapted for use to control the mill and lathe axis, considering that the timing/movement/resolution seems good enough for 3d printer use? Maybe another way to ask this is what would the downsides be if I did adapt the 3d print control system for the mill/lathe? The simplicity of going through USB, without the need for parallel ports or motion controllers, seem enticing! Thanks again!

@jorylloyd3541 8 жыл бұрын

Hmmm.... Good question, and one I don't know the answer to as I haven't played with 3d printing much. Purely guessing I have a few ideas: 1. 3d printing I believe is typically primarily output, no need for inputs on small 3d printers for touch plates, probes, e-stops, etc perhaps. Although I imagine larger 3d printers have many such inputs back to the controllers including multiple limit switches. 2. If motor power is integrated into controller, then metal or wood cnc require much higher motor force compared to 3d printing which only has to push against the friction/weight of the printer itself instead of pushing a cutter into steel. Friction on cnc mills/lathes are also higher since bearing surfaces are often metal to metal vs the ball-bearing or slick plastics of 3d printing. 3. Number of axis controllers, typical 3d printer is 3-axis vs 4-axis or more axis for cnc mills. 4. Capitalism - CNC milling machines cost more for the machine, therefore resellers/manufacturers feel justified charging more for the controller??? Or supply vs. demand, likely there are more 3d printers in use today by hobbyists then metal cnc machines... not sure what the numbers would be compared to cnc wood mills. It may just be a mystery that never gets answered, but good question to ponder.

Been waiting for the next CNC for some time now... I am growing concerned that you must have something more pressing in your life and are unable to continue the wonderful series?
