    I forgot to mention in the video that I also plan to add a homing sequence. That way you hit a button and all motors go back to zero and it is repeatable like all other CNC machines. Thank you so much for watching. You guys are the reason I do this! And thank you to SOLIDWORKS /Dassault Systems for helping me get to project out to you.

I have done the the tasks you are mentioning (homing, motion profiles, etc) multiple times. If you you want to talk, reply and I'll get in contact with you. If you want to figure it out yourself, I respect that too. There is value in the journey.

      @@paulreader1777
      The finger joint mode would be fairly straight forward and just a pre-calculated code based on the size of the joints and blade kerf.
      Looks like fence is "F", Blade height is "H", and blade angle is "A".
      Example,, If you wanted 1/4" joints, then start the gcode with the fence at home position.. Assuming blade kerf is exactly 0.125" (likely not).
      Hit "Start"
      Fence stays at home, blade comes up with a gcode, lets say G1 H0.25
      Cut
      hit "next" on the screen, Gcode G1 F0.125 ;16.23910175 steps - Which will need to be rounded because the stepper just isn't that accurate even with microstepping.
      Cut
      hit "next" on the screen, Gcode G1 F0.50
      (Assuming absolute positioning)
      Cut
      hit "next" on the screen, Gcode G1 F0.625
      Cut
      Repeat..
      This will likely translate differently into the python code it's currently running on. - I have not written in python... but have some knowledge of gcode and marlin and steppers, etc..
      So steps for fence to move 0.125" would be (stp_per_inch_f)*0.125 = 16.23910175 steps.

I’m SUPER impressed by your ability to figure out the problem and then the solution to the problem. I’m almost completely illiterate when it comes to computers and I have never tried coding before in my life.

  • @Coldasjones
    @Coldasjones 4 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Another way to “re-zero” would be to have a solid fixed stop at the far end of travel, or maybe a hole on the surface with a pin you can drop in and push the fence to, so that it acts as a constant index so after manual control, push the fence to the “index stop” and just hit a simple “recalibrate” button which lets the machine know “the fence is at the index stop which is a known distance”. Could take the human error out of the equation. I know you could be more accurate in a much more complex manner, but that seems like a simple way. I also know from woodworking experience that the scale on the table saw is almost never spot on, and usually wiggles and shifts over time. It’s a big shot of luck that yours seems to be dead on. Super cool project though! Love the idea.

      Since this isn't the original fence, I wonder if he changed out the scale too. Although, it would also be affected by whatever the thickness of the blade is, since you can buy different blade thicknesses, or even a dado set. Expanding on your idea, if he were ever to want to use a dado set, he could use your recalibrate function to first move the fence to the edge of the raised blade, and then zero the saw there. That way he could get a perfectly accurate cut without having to worry about accounting for the kerf width, and also be able to perfectly set the edge of a rabbet without having to account for the rabbet's width.

    Really cool project. I’ve been thinking of doing something similar, but with just the fence.
    A few suggestions for functionality: Homing switches for your three motions.
    Absolute motion function.
    Incremental motion function.
    A blade selection (assuming you have different sized blades).
    A dado function. You would need the blade width value. This would be to subtract from the overall width of your dado width value.
    A nibble function for above dado function. I would add a blade width overlap % and a tolerance amount to adjust the dado slot slop.
    A lot of the above functions can be used for finger joints and tenons.
    Then you can mount a router table on the other side of the fence and use the same code.
    I made a finger joint machine with a stepper motor controlled by an arduino, so a lot of these issues came up.
    Also, I suspect that the blade height is not linear. This is under the assumption that the height adjust is on a trunnion. You might have to see what the trunnion angle is at the bottom and then use a sin calc of the angle to determine your height adjustment from there.

    Would really consider servo breaks and disabling the motors when the blade is running. If something freaks out and you have a motor run mid cut it could be deadly.

    • @greensheen8759
      @greensheen8759 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yeah. The standard for industrial robots is to use motors that have normally closed electric brakes. That way their default state is locked in place. Barring that, a hardware interlock that keeps the steppers in holding torque mode while the saw is active would be wise

    • @mor4y
      @mor4y 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I can see everyone's point behind the braked or locked-out servos, but if you do that then you leave no wriggle-room for a length of timber with some torque in it due to a warp or a bow, thats a far more likely situation for most people using a *large* tablesaw, just because of what we're cutting. I mean we have a deflection guard in our workshop directly behind the big ripsaw thanks to kickback! 👀
      If you were a 100% sheet goods shop I'd maybe see the logic, but for more general use and *anything* involving construction lumber, I'd take the wiggle room over protection from software gremlins :)

    • @greensheen8759
      @greensheen8759 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@mor4y The braking is only applied when the motors aren't being moved. They're extremely strong spring loaded brakes, or in the case of motor braking it can hold up to whatever the limit of the motor is. It would be able to withstand torque from normal operation, and you can always release the brakes for fine adjustment.

      2nd on paste wax. That's the conventional solution. They say you just reapply like every 6 months, more often in humid climate.
      I got an old table saw and had the same rust problem. I started with WD40. When that failed, I did orbital sander, and it mostly worked. I heard about vinegar later from Diresta.

    I absolutely love this channel. Jeremy's enthusiasm in these projects is contagious. He blends just enough humor in his videos to go along with all the information and technologies he packs in to each project. The best part comes at the end when he reveals a practical, working model of whatever he set out to accomplish. He explains everything thoroughly without being too redundant or repetitive and the end results are usually something you would expect to purchase at a Lowe's or Home Depot. He makes a lot of very expensive things, CNC plasma tables, etc... affordable for anyone who wants to replicate his great works of engineering feats. If DIY was a sport, he would be the MVP!

I want to make an auto sled. The sled will have sliders and easily removable. The sled will be an auto feed. With holes all over it for work piece hold downs. Clamp a small piece of wood and let it feed into the cut. May even design different length sleds to all fit the same feed. This will keep my hands out of the way on small things. Love it. Good work.

There’s an old ditty, “if there’s slag, you drag”, but then again, “grinding and paint makes you the welder you ain’t”. Good to see you coding, once you go down that path you start thinking about automating everything. I know I did all through my welding class.

    Furniture paste wax (Miwax orJohnson's paste wax) is what you want. It's like waxing your car though, every so often you will need to reapply. If I will not be using my table saw for a while I will spray it down in silicon spray, wd-40 makes a spray but cooking spray is made from food grade silicon. Be aware paint hate silicon, so clean your saw thoroughly before using it again. Paste wax is fantastic because doesn't stick around after sanding and finishing. Obviously what one is attempting to do is keep moister off of the cast steel.
    You are the man BTW. This stuff is so beyond me. It is fun to watch.

    Pretty sweet and nicely done for your first go. I've been programming for about 4 decades and using tools since I was 5. I love seeing what people are doing in their shops with the modern tech available in the home shop (or even pro).
    This is a project on my list for my saw as well.
    One of my intentions is to position a reference sensor somewhere that is co-planer with the fixed blade bearing surface on the saw shaft. Then using a tool library that has the offsets of the left/right edges of the various blades. Some inexpensive linear digital scales for absolute position references would be handy as well.
    Another idea is an electromagnetic clamp for the fence. It can grip a rail or directly onto the table surface.
    Once you have the basic functionality required to do the primary job, it's always fun to then step over the line and see how ridiculous you can take the automation.
