I installed and configured LinuxCNC to control the Mill. (Mach3 was easier to get set up and running initially on the trial license, but they do require you to run windows&#8230;and the GUI is a bit garish.) In this video you can see the mill cutting out a circular pocket (in the middle of the air, as I&#8217;m testing CAM software, software limits, etc as well.)<\/p>\n<p>You might notice that the belt has been removed between my spindle and spindle motor. When I purchased the machine the spindle motor was at a slight angle, which I traced to a bent spindle motor bracket. \u00a0 As a new bracket costs under $7, I decided to buy a new one instead of trying to bend my existing one back into shape. The replacement bracket appears to be machined slightly better overall anyways. Until it arrives, I don&#8217;t have the spindle hooked up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160122_213513.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3756\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3756\" src=\"http:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160122_213513-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20160122_213513\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160122_213513-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160122_213513-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160122_213513-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160122_213513-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that I have the hardware in place, I&#8217;m working on the software side of things.
