Not that I'm in the market or even remotely knowledgeable about CNC, but would you say Mastercam is usually associated with shops using...

That's exactly what I was saying a few posts up. Shockingly, it would not be the first time I've read about a metric feed screw...

Good chart. So B-6 with 45-86-60 gears yields 1.5003 = pretty close to 1.50. But still the mystery of why his actual measured pitch...

I'm just looking over your manual. I assume there must be a mechanical lockout, but any chance you are still engaged in power feed mode...

Now just to get the gears/pitch issue settled first, are you measuring carriage displacement to confirm the pitch, or are you measuring...

The 1.5 is likely the gear pitch & 60 is tooth count usually designated 'Z'. Do you engage the leadscrew with clam shells or...

I think you have a single 1.5mm pitch setting using this specific gear & lever arrangement (B-6 combination). So if you did all that...

Not quite sure what you mean 'moved the lever over one spot'. There is 'a' specific gear + lever selection that results in the target...

Wondering out loud - the leadscrew would be like a worm gear & therefore the missing threading gear would be a 'worm wheel'. And worm...

Yes, very useful not just for cosmetics but also larger assemblies so parts distinguish themselves. This makes for clarity, particularly...

I'm curious about the size of your bezels. I'm sure you know your own the math but just eyeballing: say 0.4" wide + 0.1 kerf = 0.5"...

Thanks for providing that information. The website is a little sparse on details but they do provide phone/email contact. I'd be...

I drew up some plans to make soft jaws, but I coincidentally stumbled on these on Ebay. Typically they are mounted & machined for...

Yes, Neoprene is very oil resilient & comes in different thicknesses which might help with folding issues. I bought (well, was donated)...
