Thanks, Mark

Anyone have some good illustrated tips on using a steady rest? Step by step from the very beginning? I have tried but never got it really centered. Ralph <j_r_abercrombie@...> wrote:

Good suggestions, thanks. I did some reading/watching just now and well-oiled emery cloth inside-out, with the cloth sliding on the workpiece was one solution. I think a bushing of some kind, clamped

you can wrap the work piece with s piece of cardboard like from the bottom of a tablet & the adjust the fingers to fit the cardboard . I think you can also use emery cloth turned inside out. animal

There's one small thing I neglected to mention regarding my cross slide anti-backlash modification.? I put a short set screw in the now-unused middle screw hole to keep swarf out of there.? It also

Yes, the spring slips over the leadscrew.? I repurposed the old nut block, but did run into a problem.? I cut it on my mill with a slitting saw, but when I installed the nut in my vise I "squished"

The LMS Bed Extension kits (P/Ns 1928- 14" and 5000 - 16")? have the better pivoting hinged motor mounts. ralphie

I also must be doing something wrong.? ? And I have modified the rest with ball bearings.? ?The work was anodized aluminum tube which was well marred by the effort.? ? Very carefully fitting

Thanks, Bill! I am an occasional CSMEE member, and have directions. -- Lone Tree, Colorado? ?USA

Craig, and anyone else in the vicinity of Denver Colorado, you might care to attend the meeting of the Colorado Model and Experimental Engineering group this next Saturday from 12:00 on. Mail me for

That sounds like an excellent solution to removing backlash. Does the spring have the leadscrew 'inside' it - i.e. is it slid on the leadscrew between the two nuts?? Did you cut down the two halves

Thanks. That may well be true now; up-to-date info is better than my 'old news'. My older MicroLux 7x14 has the pivoting mount for its brushed motor, which powers a 2 speed geared spindle.

Yes, LinuxCNC, formerly EMC. You don't have to use the graphical interface. All modern CNC controllers are g-code interpreters. If you learned about CNC years ago or even today you'd learn about

Googling LCNC doesn't return much.? Are you referring to LinuxCNC otherwise known as EMC2?? I know that's really versatile software like Mach III/IV, but I've just never been a big fan of the

If you are looking for OpenSource CNC that will do things like drive 4 or 5 axis mills and tool changers and does not need you to change the source code to add functionality, then you'd be looking to

Hi!? I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to the poster that made me aware of an open-sourced CNCZEUS machine control software.? I'm a computer programmer and CNC

This is what I meant by "features" vs "quality".? ? And as in the quote immediately above, it's still "bit of a gamble". The motor mount is a feature of lathes with the brushless motor and direct

A secondary nut at the back of the cross slide would work, but you'd need to make something to mount the nut. I've done something like this two different ways -- one for my mill and one for the cross

Low speed and plenty of lubrication seems to work for me with the steady rest, and I don't leave the lathe running if I'm not cutting. I bought that LMS bearing set but I don't think I will use it, as
