The miller has gone through a number of development changes but is now starting to take on a life of its own, shortly before lockdown i was making parts and had managed to get the accuracy and repeatability nailed. There are also plans afoot to design and build a wire EDM machine. Over the last 140 odd days (of the end of the world) I have helped a guy convert and old Denford mill to a linuxcnc styled machine and dumped a whole load of design information on another chap building a plasma table and torch height controller. I have not got to make chips yet but as far as i hve read this is true 4 axis and not 3+1. Unfortunately GRBL does not handle these very well, By switching i have also gained a 4th axis. I was looking for canned cycles, conversational programming and a better tool change method. Im now starting to get quit involved in converting and assisting others in various conversion projects so thought it was about time i wrote a serious thread.ĭuring Covid i have been busy converting my mill yet again, It has gone down the linuxcnc/pathpilot route, I was starting to realise the limitations of using GRBL as a machine controller. Previously i have posted information regarding the upgrade of my miller to CNC, about using GRBL as a controller and my Plasma table build.
