hoss conversion prints used. Roton 5/8 ballscrewsand nuts. travel extensions in x and y. I have 8.25 (9 if i push it) x and 4.5 y travels. I used a probotix sidestepper kit. Probotix kit was nice but i would rather use a c10 BOB and geckos when the rebuild comes. I think the probotix is good for entry level but doesnt allow for expansion. I am rapiding at 60-70 ipm and cutting at 30-40 ipm...

Im using the probotix 4 axix breakout board with the 400oz motors and it does offer expansion you just have to know what you need. If you have any questions about it let me know and I can help you out.

i know what i want. i want to use a c10 and c17 BOB and control board with my probotix drivers. I talked to chris and he said it can't be done as the new driver boards do not have the screw terminals like the old ones. Basically you can only use their BOB and drivers in the kit setup. I am thinking I may just put in a secondary parallel port and make a c10 box for all my spindle control, mach...

You're on your way now, ready for the next step. Hoss

what do you think is the next step? I already spent the time running programs in the air, marker test, wood test and metal test. I guess i need to redo the z axis stuff the right way. For test programs i ran the roadrunner small, the mudflap girl, biohazard sign, and a harley derby cover. I ran all of them in th eair a few times each to make sure the program was not acting funny. Then I ran ...

lol good point. I have another IH mill waiting for a bebuild and then a grizzly minimill and a 7x14 minilathe so i guess it is both. Tramming is the next big thing.

You've achieved a lot more than some people have so far, never making it past the build stage to actually cutting something. Align the spindle and tram the mill if you haven't already. http://www.hossmachine.info/Shop_Info.html#trammin g Then you'll be set to run the Axis Calibration.

If the former, it's time to MAKE something by tramming everything up and cutting chips. If the latter, then it's time to plan your next machine, or improvements on this one. If your hobby is both, then just enjoy! CR.
