Great job guys, very impressive. What kind of spindle/router did you use?

Very impressive!

Could you share what you use for hardware and software on the control side?

Thanks for sharing!

Have you had issues with belts stretching?

We are using a 3HP, ADES70, 24,000 RPM Electric Spindle from here.

We are running AMC motor controllers and brushed motors with USDigital encoders for hardware, the software is LinuxCNC.

Not that we can tell, but it is still relatively new. The belts shouldn't stretch, but if they do we can re-tension them.

Do you mind elaborating on why you aren't using steppers? It's really awesome that you're going out of your way to develop your own machines and this is one of the most interesting aspects of it.

Cause we can? We are able to hold some very tight tolerances and detect following errors the way we are currently doing it. This would be harder with steppers, and we would have less control over what is going on.

We are using mesanet boards with linuxcnc to interface with the AMC drives and encoders.
