Search for "Joe Russack". He provided the XLS file of the parts. You'll need to change it for your design. But 80/20 has 3D models of all their parts online. So in your CAD software you can just snap the parts together to test out designs. Good luck with your build.

My problem is I want to use a log 25 inch dia up to 4ft. long. I think I will need motor control or a 5th or 6th axis to be able to raise and lower. If you are willing will you send your parts list and some kind of drawing for building this?

Also they should make a configuration utility to aide in the setup. Something that can compensate in software for any small deviations in alignment. The 4-axis router where I work (made by Roland) has this and it's very nice.

When they replied, they said they are working on a 4th axis and it will be added some time. No timeline given. But hopefully they will generate a post at some point that can either be modified or generic enough to use. I think they should have gone for the 4th before the plasma, but maybe I'm biased.<br /><br />ubergeek7https://www.blogger.com/profile/07036329040991762392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861237338972566400.post-6907797231218922202018-11-13T09:43:34.707-05:002018-11-13T09:43:34.707-05:00Thanks I'm trying to find it online now.

This build is beautiful, but as impressive as it is, the details on setup are not here.

I think we need to have a forum post on cnczone dedicated to this. I have not set mine up fully yet, but I also am having a really hard time finding a post processor that allows me to post with a 4th axis. I did post something about helping to create a post, but I was told by 1 person that simultaneous is not available on fusion yet. I verified that with fusion documents. I do not fully understand this, but I think that simultaneous is different from being able to turn and cut at the same time. I see all kinds of posts using generic and modified mach3 posts. They say that they can machine and turn at the same time. So, again, I am confused on terminology.<br />I hope to be able to get this working correctly and I hope that cncrp jumps in to help as well. They have 3 axis very well down and even just released a setup for plasma. I think 4th axis is something that is inexpensive, relatively, and an amazing thing to be able to work with. ubergeek7https://www.blogger.com/profile/07036329040991762392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861237338972566400.post-82918831804516973132017-12-01T11:21:32.442-05:002017-12-01T11:21:32.442-05:00Send me an email and I'll answer your question...Send me an email and I'll answer your questions about the parts list. <br /><br />MarkMark Meierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554561290076658169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861237338972566400.post-774056733992670112017-11-30T22:29:17.690-05:002017-11-30T22:29:17.690-05:00I just a CNC from CNCRP.

So, I will work on getting a post made. Autodesk should be able to help with creating or publishing one. Although, your heads came out great. <br />On another note, do you have the parts list for your 80/20 available? I have several of the slide parts that are able to be adapted to different profiles.

That is, rotate to a new position, mill it like it's a 3-axis, then rotate to a new position, repeat. And I could insert the code to rotate right into the toolpath sequence. So no new post needed so far. <br />I'm getting much more into Fusion now so I hope to know more about their multi-axis milling soon.
