Its Alive, X3 cnc making first ever part
Channel: ramkitty

My first youtube video ever

This is my Grizzly G0463 X3 milling machine that I converted using a CNC fusion deluxe kit with zero backlash couplers. The steppers are from Keling inc and the motor controller is a cheap 3 axis unit I had purchased on ebay and using mach3 as the controlling software. The drivers are not ideal and will be replaced in the future. 

I also used the vast amount of information available on the internet primarily from www.CNCZone.com and http://www.cnccookbook.com/

This is the first part I have made on my machine after I did my motor tuning. 

At this time I have the following backlashes
X 0.0005
Y 0.0015
Z 0.022 (I am looking at the source of this problem)

I also have to tram the head and do some other adjustments and learn a bit more gcode/cam before I am ready to chew some metal.
