Thanks Al! I'll give that a try first and see how it goes.

Most results are achieved by empirical means.

Empirical evidence, also known as sense experience, is a collective term for the knowledge or source of knowledge acquired by means of the senses, particularly by observation and experimentation. The term comes from the Greek word for experience, ἐμπειρία (empeiría).

That's a $50 word.:D

I had the same problem. The Chinese VFD/Spindel has allot of noise. The debounce gives your electrics a chance to tell if the signal is 'real' or a 'phantom'.

I had set mine real high one time. Then when I 'homed' my machine, the home switch would engage, but the machine kept traveling and would crash into my hard stops.

Set it back some and all was fine.

Ive had good luck with debounce settings between 20 and 30. That requires 20+ "hits" a millisecond apart. You would have to have a freaky noise to outlast that.

I suffered through this. Here is close to the start of the posts pertaining to it. http://www.mechmate.com/forums/showt...&postcount=388

It's been a while since I updated my progress. The photo is a little dark but you get the idea. I ran the island sides, bottom, back, drawer parts and a couple other miscellaneous pieces on the CNC which included the interior shelf holes and dados. The top is reclaimed oak barn wood about 1 1/4 thick. It's difficult to see but there are corbels under each end. Thanks for looking!

Yep....you're right !!....can't see much, but we can feel your joy and satisfaction...good going !!

I'll say this tho....PITAA this forum is failing to....simply not upgrading to follow the trend in allowing MUCH bigger photo files .....
OOo well :rolleyes:

Happy New Year to the MechMate Community!!! Be safe everyone!

Just wanted to let anyone who is interested know that I started up a YouTube channel. I would like to mix in some demonstrations using Fusion 360 along with the MechMate. My goal is to make some fun stuff and show the process from start to finish. Part one of a bag toss game was just posted this evening. I plan on finishing the rest of the video over the next week or so. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjY...eI5CJ2YXP1k62g

I encourage everyone to subscribe to my channel. I'm also interested in your feeedback and whether you find the videos helpful and interesting. Thanks!

I'm also using Fusion 360 for my VMC milling so so its always nice to see someone else working in it and documenting it. So you have a sub from me.

Thanks Danilo! I plan to put quite a few more videos out there. I have been waiting for warmer weather to arrive so that I can put down my spoil board permanently. Once that is done, I'll be much happier with the results. I haven't taken the time to build a touch plate. There are many other little tidy up items that I need to get to. Thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribing! I appreciate it!

I posted another video out there on YouTube with the MechMate in action. I'm loving this machine...even for the little things! YouTube Video Here

Cool video. Nice Production. What equipment do you film and edit with?

Hi Mike - I'm using an old Canon T2i DSLR camera that I've had for at least 6 or 7 years or so. I did my editing using the Adobe Creative suite since I had the subscription for my business anyway. It comes with Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. All the things I'd ever need for putting a video together. Thanks for checking it out! I appreciate it!

The cool thing about YouTube is that I get to see what countries are viewing the videos. I can only assume but it seems like I'm seeing many of you in the MechMate community viewing them and I think it's really great! Thank you everyone for checking them out!

I posted an easy CNC project out on YouTube on building a clamp rack. Still a ton of interest on how to use Fusion 360. Thanks!
