@@RotarySMP My Mill rebuild should be done fairly soon too but as far as I have seen the ways are to damaged by rust can you tell me where you can buy hand scrapers and the blades if not directly from biax?

Another option is to braze carbide onto the end of flat steel. Nothing too complicated about this stuff. I made a brazed scraper blade in about episode 4 or 5.
Look forward to hearing how you get on with the 7i96 on your lathe. I literally just picked up a EMCO Compact 5 cnc that needs a full FULL rebuild. Probably won't go to your lengths, however. :) Thanks for sharing!
The EMCO is a much better engineered lathe than the 7x12. I am sure you will have a great lathe once you have finished your conversion. Thanks for watching.
Nice work. One thing to say is that small SSD's are dirt cheap. I put an SSD in my router controller for about 20$ for a 64gb unit. That one is running windows and usbcnc software and I can say it's very nice to deal with compared to those mechanical drives.
@@RotarySMP As for the Maho and Linux, did you see that very swank looking new GUI/Screenset called ProbeBasic (I think)? It's inspired by PathPilot and has a ton of probing options and just looks really pleasant overall. Also, while this might not be the perfect place to ask, I have noticed you are very good at giving answers, so I will take my chances:) Thing is, I am a hobby machinist but very far from being a programmer and soon I will start building a stiff, desktop router (surface plate based) but as for control, I also just want something that's nice to look at. Maybe that's slightly superficial but it does actually help in using things. So, when I saw the screensets for Linux, especially, the above mentioned, I was really happy. Now, the "simple" question is: Would you think someone who never programmed but is likely a bit above the normal person in tinkering abilities (I have changed plenty of harddrives, fans, etc in my Macs) can set up Linux and LinuxCNC without spending more than a few weeks ripping his hair out? Is the LinuxCNC forum OK with walking newbies through it if they ask very specific questions - or are they more inclined to just say I should "read the documentation"...?
@@AntiVaganza Dont get hung up on the "look" of the GUI. The work flow is way more important. Gmoccapy was created to largely replicate the work flow ofHeidenhain controllers, and is brilliant for it's usablity. Many Path Pilot type new GUI are way to overloaded with all information on one screen if you ask me. Gmoccapy is very modal. with the soft keys function dependant on modes. I like it so much I designed my Control panel for the MAHO to replicate the soft keys with physical buttons.. The LinuxCNC forum has excellent guys. You nailed it. If you can formulate a clear question, you always get answers. From my time there, the people who get frustrated generally are not able to ask clear questions.
@@RotarySMP True, good point. But I do like when things look nice - I find it keeps the overall user experience more positive. But I looked at the screenset a bit more and later iterations did indeed become quite "busy". I was even thinking of a cheap standalone Chinese controller, but I think as this will be my first CNC machine, it would make sense to have a proper screen and keyboard as I will likely be making more mistakes in setting up things than people who already know their stuff. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply:)
Hey RotarySMP, great video! Also we (the comenters) noticed that the pwm port went back to zero.. i also noticed that when you set up the z Axis (the One with the imperial leadscrew) you put the value on the MM section but there is just bellow that a place to put TPI = threads per inch... You should have used that (i think)... Everything else looked perfect 😋
I didn't notice that the PWM was at zero. Thanks. I'll run it again. You got me. I knew it was imperial, measured it at about 5mm, remembered it was 5.08mm, and was too lazy to work what that is in TPI :)
C to close a program in a terminal. Z to put it to sleep, type "fg" (fg for foreground) to start it up again. And btw, you can move between words by depressing while punching the arrow keys back and forth, just like you can in the comment field in youtube, or anywhere else really.
once again you have given great information. Look forward to next installment. Maybe you needed a larger oil can or I usually use the fixer a 20lb hammer makes me feel good
Awesome! Me too in process learning MESA 7i76E... (there are already a short video in instagram) And did a touch screen with an Orange Pi PC and LinuxCNC (short video in instagram too and on my channel)
@@RotarySMP yes, i do have x,z,y and 2 rotation axis. Dont know how to setup it in linux cnc and mesa card. Also i must conect limit sw1 and sw2 for each axis...
Nice work :) Is additional adapter board for vfd necessary if you can get PWM signal out of controller ? Got same 7i96 today it will be fun to configure it all.
That probably depends on the controller. If it can accept a PWM input then you should be fine direct from the Mesa card, but mine needed an analog 0-10V input, hence the little adapeter board. Those thing only cost a few bucks.
If I dislike a video, I mash the dislike button at least ten times - maybe even twelve or fourteen! That'll show them... but of course it's not the case here.
Are you crazy putting oil into your SSD?! Those holes are clearly there for the grease! I suggest you educate yourself first before attempting something reckless like that again!
You are very correct. I started scraping this, as I had it, and wanted to learn to scrape. Then it became a good vehicle to learn to do a video series, and now I want to finish what I started. If you want a CNC machine, you should start with an industrial CNC machine, much easier, and better result. Nope, aircraft mechanic.

Control-C is the magic incantation to kill a shell process such as ping. I hope you used the correct grade of oil on your SSD 😄

full synthetic for SSD's
@@boostie1005 Serves it right. It was the SSD which died on me week before last. Thanks for watching.
I enjoyed the hard disk maintenance... It clearly seemed to work, now where is my oil can... ;-))
This was the POS SSD which failed two weeks ago. It eserved it. Thanks for watching.
@RotarySMP
Your Video series is just awesome if not legendary
its the best rebuild out there
i will be very happy when its done

I recommend making a thread on the LinuxCNC forum. The guys there are really knowledgeable and helpful.
@@RotarySMP Already a member there, and yes you're right, they really are helpful and know their stuff.

Thanks for the tips.
Great production, amusing and very interesting, thanks for taking the time to document the detail.
Thanks for watching.
Did you notice that the number of PWMs reset back to 0 when running the configure too? As wel as the previouslly mentioned 0.3mm instead of -300.
I noticed that and i also saw something else that i have to mention but now i forgot ahahah
I missed that. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll run the PNCConf again.
once again you have given great information. Look forward to next installment. Maybe you needed a larger oil can or I usually use the fixer a 20lb hammer makes me feel good

Great job,the series is really good and i really enjoy the level of detail you got into, glad that my video could be of help :D

so what is the background picture for your linux system?
That is just some Linux Stock photo. I thought it looked nice.
@@RotarySMP I like it too
Awesome!

And did a touch screen with an Orange Pi PC and LinuxCNC (short video in instagram too and on my channel)

how you can setup 5 axis? an 5x limit 1 and 2 switches für each axis?
Sorry, I don't really understand the question. Do you want to make a 5 Axis mill using LinuxCNC?
@@RotarySMP yes, i do have x,z,y and 2 rotation axis. Dont know how to setup it in linux cnc and mesa card. Also i must conect limit sw1 and sw2 for each axis...
@@RotarySMP yes x,y,z and 2 others so can i do it?
Are you planning on building a tool turret or are you going to use a quick change tool post
I really have no plans of doing real production stuff, so it will be a QCTP. Thanks for watching.
14:02 z min was set to 0.3 mm, is that correct?
Nope. I corrected it, but cut that out of the video as too boring. Thnks for watching.
Nice work :)
