Thanks, mate. appreciated

yeah, I agree, and for the price of servo on closed loop steppers, now it's an easy choice. for a machine seeing cutting loads there is no other option I think. cheers for the comment and support

well, he's now maybe not skipping steps, but he's getting tons of follow error which results in inaccurate machining. Those servos can't be tune in any reasonable stretch for proper metal machinig. Wooden router for wood projects? Ok..

@chronokoks the servos are awesome. The tuning is done in mach 4 when you tune acceleration. They are fast and powerful and have alarms for safety that can stop the machine. They cut steel like butter plenty of power

@@gingerninjaneering You're incompetent. Just completely incompetent.

​@chronokoks again thanks for the comment with still no video from you explaining your logic here, but when you do, be sure to send me a link, and maybe then I can become less incompetent with your great o mighty teachings.

Thank you for the sub most appreciated. yeah, it has been a rather large build but very enjoyable. that sounds like some cool projects you have going on there mate. the epoxy makes a massive difference to resonance. are you filming your conversion. thanks for the comment most appreciated.

thank you, that is most appreciated. I have put alot of work into the machine and just wanted to share and hopefully inspire someone.

thank you most appreciated. it's been some work.

Thank you. I appreciate that a lot. I'm glad I could help. if you have any questions, just comment on a video, and I can make another video for you if that helps you with your projects

thanks mate appreciated

thank you most appreciated

thank you most appreciated

Thanks, mate, most appreciated.

thank you most appreciated. I do have an e stop wired in, but the computer was faster to push it than I was lol.

Lol mate.Btw. What are you using for filming and mic? I have tried a videos of my escapades and they end up so shit its unreal.

@TheBrick2 I use a Samsung s20 ultra an s21 ultra and an s23 ultra for camera, and then I brought a cheep microphone off aliexpress the little wireless one that pluggable plugs into the usbc port of the phone. Lol, if you look back at my older videos, they were pretty bad, but if you improve one thing every time, you slowly get better. Just keep working on it. Do you want to do youtube

@@gingerninjaneering Thanks.. Yeah I fancy a few videos of stuff I do might be interesting. I tried filming me moving pretty big lathe by hand off a trailer for instance. Sketchy and slow!

Lol, well, everyone has to start somewhere. Keep filming and uploading even if you're not ready just do it and build the confidence as you go

thank you I appreciate that a lot

cheers been a job and a half, lol.

thank you most appreciated

Thanks mate its been a bit of work, lol. yes, I was very lucky to find the boiler plate and for free to makes it very stiff. I have been thinking about re making the z axis from epoxy resin. what did you use to make yours. that's cool I would like to get a broken cnc to do, but in New zealand, there isn't really a market for broken ones. cheers for your comment most appreciated

yeah, I have been thinking about filling with Sand and epoxy. I do seem like a good idea. I would like to dampen the z and the head stock.

awesome thank you. I really appreciate the support.

thank you most appreciated. that was what I was was hoping for on this video to inspire someone to build a machine. it's a fun and satisfying thing.

lol, most definitely I will be, but after I build the enclosure, it makes enough mess dry, lol. but will most definitely be on the cards. cheers for the comment.

thank you, it's firmed out pretty well. o awesome, that is a really cool project. how did you control the dc motor. you will love cnc.

Thanks, mate, most appreciated

thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it.

Hey there, cheers for the comment. It's a 100mm cylinder with a 5mm stroke it works well to compress the spindle at about 90psi and above.

o awesome, another fellow builder. yeah, the cast iron is a good weight. the 50mm boiler plate on the bace is 300kg from memory. the whole machine is almost a ton, I would think now. cheers for the comment most appreciated

TwoWin CNCTOOL Store is where it came from. Make sure you lock tight in that grub screw at the top for sure

On aliexpress

Thank you. I got it off aliexpress you can either buy the spindle by itself or In a kit with the mounting and a spindle servo. TwoWin CNCTOOL Store a.aliexpress.com/_ms6ciAW. This is who I got the spindle through

@@gingerninjaneering Big thanks for information!

@Unl0gic no worries, I'm happy to help.

Hi there, I haven't yet. I'm still weighing up my options for the filling. Thank you. Most appreciated. I'm just building with what I have and can get.

@@gingerninjaneering I was inspired by your project, I've been looking for information on everything for weeks and I came across your videos, actually different from everyone else! Much more DIY than other projects I was thinking of filling my z with a mix of metal grit for sandblasting, fine sand and an adhesive resin for floors

@angelotrezza9256 That's awesome, mate. I appreciate that. I was thinking the same thing about filling. I have been researching epoxy granite as well as an option for filling. The machine does ring a bit when pushing it. Scrap steel is my favorite; I like the price of free.

for sure, it's my favorite price lol

yes, you are correct with the right skills it's easy to build. the alignment and getting surfaces parallel and perpendicular when the machine you are building is too big to fit on another machine well for a price that isn't more than the cost of the entire machine, lol. thank you most appreciated.

you shouldn't need to if you set the acceleration and set the motors up in mach 4 correctly. you can also bypass the drivers and put the encoader signal right into the controller board if your controller can use that. cheers for the comment

@@gingerninjaneering dude, you're very far back on this topic. I suggest you delve into it a bit deeper. Tuning is far from settting the "right accel decel settings". Lol

@chronokoks what more do you need? The motor speeds up and slows down with the weight of the machine perfectly they don't need any tuning that I have noticed they throw my table around at speed and don't loose any position. If they did the machine would stop. What is the tuning doing dose it test resonance or something

@@gingerninjaneering Dude why the fuck are you even arguing with me? Stop arguing with me and LOOK AT KZfaq VIDEOS ON THE TOPIC OF TUNING SERVOS. To properly tune a servo that does not have a sophisticated auto-tuning procedure is a pain and takes long time to learn. For proper tuning of a servo you first have to know the weight of the moving components (of the axis) to set the proper intertia ratio. That's just the first parameter to consider. There are like 20-40 others. Forget what you think you know, you know nothing. AGAIN LOOK AT THE KZfaq VIDEOS, DON'T ARGUE WITH ME, ARGUE WITH THE GARBAGE YOU THINK YOU KNOW.

Proportional Gain (P): This determines how aggressively the servo responds to an error (the difference between the desired position and the actual position). Too high a P gain can cause overshooting and instability, while too low can lead to slow response. Integral Gain (I): This addresses steady-state errors (when the servo isn't quite reaching the desired position). Adjusting I gain helps eliminate these errors over time. Derivative Gain (D): This anticipates future errors by considering the rate of change in the error. It's used to dampen the system and prevent overshooting. this is the same as tuning acceleration and things in mach 4 you are just making sure that it speeds up and slows down at the right point and that the motors will not over or under shoot. just because they don't have software dosent mean they can't be tuned. this is a budget build. I didn't have the money to spend on over priced servos that came with a tuning software. that I can set up myself. and I got 3 motors and drives for the price of one

when youtube pays the bills, then maybe but far from that point yet, lol.
