I have emc up and running I just need to buy
some
glass scales for my Kusuga

How do you like it? Have you got into any of the
kinematic's of it or anything?

Mach and EMC are distant cousin's from way back,
just that MACH was re-written for winblows.

Don't have it working yet but the user interface
looks real nice.
Blake came out and installed it for me. It is
called Brain Dead
install and comes complete with a SUSE (Novel)
Linux operating system.
As far as I know Blake had no trouble installing
it on a
2 or 3 year old Space Walker I had lying around.

What brand of NC mill do you have. I have a
Kusuga.


Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

I'm actually building my milling machine from
Components, so it will be a " Johnson" when its
done [ever seen the "Big Johnson" tee-shirts? :-)
It is 18' x 8' x 4' <--thats the working area and
yes those are in feet..]  I'm also in the works to
get a Bridgeport series II, but thats most likely
going to happen after I get my Large format
machine up and running. The large format machine
is going to be mainly for Molds and bucks of
composite parts, as well as some alum parts. Your
bellhousing is probably as large a pc of Alum as
I'd want to machine.  I work as a Mech Tech full
time so the design/build of the unit has been
pretty easy, its the electronic's [ primarily the
control program] that is bugging me right now.
I'll get you some pic's here in the near future, I
don't have any that are terribly recent.

My next door hangar neighbor built one like that.
Nemesis Nxt fuselage was done on it. 8' by 4' by 4'.
The sections were filed with high density foam
and then 3D milled or routed

Paul

Thats pretty close to what I'm building, only a
bit bigger. Do you know what they used for CAM
software and control software on that thing?  How
many axis is it?
Very interesting!!

Jarrett

It is only 3 axis.
