Welcome to the world of CNC Rick! Surprised you didn't join earlier. Have you gone to the Cambam Forum? Not sure what search you want to do. Can you amplify on what you want to search?
? Paul's setup is an easy way to get started in CNC on a RF31 but it would have been really poor on my RF31.?When I got my RF31 there was .020 backlash in the X axis .012 in the Y axis and .020 in the Z axis. Worst of all was the pitch of the stock acme lead screws was off by .001" per inch in addition to the backlash.Tightening ?up the anti backlash screws increased the drag too much so I retrofitted my machine with Ball-screws on the XYZ ?axis and can get speeds up to 150 IPM. Right now I have it setup for 5 axis work using the recent ?fixes to the free cnctoolkit. I need to modify the cheap Chinese 4/5th axis trunnion table to increase the pulley ratio for more force when machining metal.
