If you are planning to buy a VFD spindle along with your New-Carve purchase, CNC4newbie recommends making your purchase from the BNR Customs website.īNR Customs offers a 2.2 kW water-cooled spindle, 2.2 kW air-cooled spindle, and 1.5 kW air-cooled spindle options. If you are using a Dewalt 611 router, which is a good choice for woodworking, you should go for the 69 mm mount.įor those using Makita RT0701C, which is better than Dewalt for cutting thin aluminum sheets, the 65 mm router mount is a better choice.

The drawing includes the width and length of the waste board with the position of the holes and their dimension.Īll the New-Carve variants offered by CNC4newbie come with pre-assembled router mounts.ĬNC4newbie offers multiple router mount options for you to choose from while buying this CNC router.Ĭurrently, they provide four options for router mounts, 65 mm, 69 mm, 80 mm, and 89 mm.
G540 CNC UPGRADE
You just need to mount the new slider on the X carriage and fix the spindle mount to the front plate of the new slider.īut make sure to upgrade your GRBL settings, the details of which you can find in the CNC4newbie portal.ĬNC4newbie doesn't provide a wasteboard for any of its variants of the New-Carve, but instead, you will be provided with the drawing that will guide you to build one. All the plates are machined out of ½” thick 6061T6 aluminum, including all the motor mounts.ĬNC4newbie also offers you upgrades for the Z-axis that lets you have a longer Z-axis travel for cutting deeper into thick materials. The 6” wide front plate to attach the Z-axis slider is strong enough to mount a heavy 2.2 kW industrial spindle.įor the Z-axis, you are provided with the X-Carve slider having a 3” x 5” front plate and a 3” x 10” backplate with a 7" travel. I know I can make a cable to control the steppers as-is, but my concerns are with the limit/datum switches and the spindle drive.ġ) Can I simply run 120VAC into the spindle drive? Since rectified and filtered 120VAC works out to about 160VDC, will it work to do this? If so, would I simply by-pass the spindle choke since it limits the output to 6A? I understand that there is a jumper on the spindle board, but will the drive output 140VDC with 120VAC in? Was this little lathe made to use 240V because it was manufactured in England? Or does it really need the higher voltage?Ģ) Can I use the Index Channel of the spindle resolver to send the index signal to a G540? Has anyone tried this?ģ) Can I use the 0-10V signal from the G540 to control the spindle speed on the Sprint 1200 Drive? I can't see any reason why not, but I remember reading advice on this board to use a step/dir spindle control instead.New-Carve comes with a 2040 aluminum extruded base frame with a C-beam x-axis of size 3” x 2.5” and a Y-axis of size 1” x 3”. I also have Eurocard 96 pin plugs and DB25 breakout boards on hand. Cost of the G540 is not an issue, as I already have it. My intention, originally, was to convert it from 240V to 120V and replace the controller with a G540.Īfter having done much reading here and elsewhere, I have surmised that I genuinely don't know what is the most appropriate route.

It still has Cosmoline on it, and the controller came with it. I have recently purchased a new NovaTurn lathe that has not been used.
