[[File:CNC_Mill.jpg|thumb|Hacksburg DIY CNC Mill]] | |||
Hacksburg's mill is a Jet JMD-15 Mill/Drill with a 1HP motor and R8 collet. It is a rebadged Rong Hu RH-30, and more information may be availible online for that model. A very basic overview of the mill and some safety information can be found in the [[:File:Hacksburg CNC Milling Class.pdf|Milling Class Slides]]. | |||
The mill was converted to CNC by adding Kollmorgen NEMA34 stepper motors (Model CTP32NLF99KAAOO) to the X, Y, and Z axes using custom mounts. The motors are powered through DM860 micro-step motor controllers controlled by Grbl running on an Arduino Uno. | |||

Our CNC mill is controlled by [https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki Grbl]. When your CAM software has an output option for Grbl, use it. Otherwise, Grbl understands LinuxCNC/MachineKit G-Code and you can use a setting for that. | Our CNC mill is controlled by [https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki Grbl].
