<div dir="ltr">Into it! I'll be around for Tuesday hack night, hopefully using the other CNC mill, we should talk then. And in fact, in related discussion, I'd wanted to make a plan for better clamps/holders the other CNC. If I remember right, that was on long term loan, can we make improvements to it?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Sep 5, 2015 at 11:58 AM, Jake <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jake@spaz.org" target="_blank">jake@spaz.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">does anyone want to get together and get the really really nice CNC machine working?<br>
<br>
we have a CNC machine with about a 500x500mm work area which is made to microscopic precision. we could literally machine microfluidics with it.<br>
<br>
the controller it came with is really old, and runs Windows 95, and doesn't allow us to load gcode or anything comparable, and afaik can't be reformed.<br>
<br>
the good news is - we have a Mesa Electronics 5i23 board which is supported by LinuxCNC and would make a great replacement controller!<br>
<br>
so if anyone wants to get this CNC machine going, let me know and we can discuss steps toward that.<br>

hi folks,<br>
<br>
looks like the spindle needs to be tightened a little bit but it's working! i brought in some tooling,<br>
enough to make cuts and learn. anyone interested in using it can easily learn the basics of lathe operations<br>
and how to grind lathe bits online before operating. this lathe is also capable of cutting threads - just<br>
swap out gears as indicated on the inside cover of the gearbox and use an appropriate 60-degree bit. the<br>
lathe and all the tooling I brought in are a donation to the space but once there's a place for the tooling<br>
I'll grab the toolbox back.<br>
<br>
<br>
Awesome! I was playing with it the other day. This is a great addition to sudo and the perfect size lathe for our current<br>
space!<br>
