Alan, Sorry I didn't see this post sooner! That's a very kind offer! Is that really adequate to cool the Geckos with no fan? I was surprised to find the AMD...
Don, John, I read thru this thread and saw the reference to "John B's Mill Schematic Model (1).pdf". I went looking in the Files section and couldn't find...
"Is that really adequate to cool the Geckos with no fan?" Hello Ray, Basically a heatsink is a heat-pump with thermal inertia and adding fans is only necessary...
Alan, Being a mechanical engineer, I completely understand how heat sinks work, but given my experience with the CPU heat sinks, I'm just asking if the one you...
I have a G203V that has both green & red lights on when power is applied. I went through the troubleshooting section. The disable is not connected. The...
... sinks. If Ray's heatsinks are getting as hot as he says, then the coupling of the Gecko's to the heatsink can't be that bad. Unless you can ultimately dump...
... Most of the larger AC operated fans that I have are surplus, and likely US-made. Most of the smaller CPU style fans that I have that I've had trouble...
so,now after the advent of the cnc brain,its very important sdk,its auto correct functions,the gecko series...etc...we now can say we can solve any medium...

I'll try posting again, seems yahoo scrapped my message bit!! Regs Mark Jeetendra wrote:- some of you mentionned that using a tormach/taig type of mill usually...
wow thanks dr mark. the small mills are for titanium jewellers.they are into those celtic knots (including arab,persian hindu motifs thing). mostly i expect to...
Hello Ray - the closer the fins are together the more the heatsink approaches being a solid block of metal because the air molecules can not readily escape...
"What I believe Alan is suggesting (I might be wrong) is to use regular (and sizeable) heat-sink extrusion(s) with a single, large, AC fan to evacuate the...
I've never played much in the jewellery side of things, and titanium is quite hard, but then again you aren't looking for a flat low Ra finish with good...
correct: they usually spent 50% 50% time on cutting it out (or casting),and then polishing by hand. now its like an estimated 10% time cut out,followed by 90%...
Hi Mark and Jeetendra, Don't forget the folks that cnc machine wax to use in a 'lost-wax' casting process to get really complex shapes in jewelry. On another...
Yes your right John a lot will be lost wax type casting where all you need to machine is the first wax blank. Others use clay materials that look like hardened...
hi there, yes ,normally for valuable metals they bother with lost wax.but for cheap metals like stainless steel,titanium,copper,etc,the man-hours for lost wax...
Mark, I'm one of those folks who sometimes makes a good living doing jewellery with small mills. Mainly wax and plastic for casting and rubber molds. And while...
You must be mixing up the names. Tormach and Taig mills are completely different. Taig mills basically fit in a 2 foot cube and weigh 85 pounds. They are, as...
Thanks John Too easy to muddle them up unless your using one. Both have a T in the name :-) Regs Mark Dr. Mark Vaughan Ph'D., B.Eng. M0VAU Managing Director ...
If you have a good sized metal cabinet (enclosure) then just a AC fan circulating air within the enclosure would suffice, the air flow would sufficiently...
Have you tried it? My informed hunch is that it's rather a dodgy solution: With almost any metal enclosure, convective heat transfer (from the air inside to...
In some equipment applications where IP ratings must be kept and costs are limited, we use oversize cabinets to conduct the heat away from the cabinet surface,...
I am a bit biased as I have a Tormach and have never used a Taig. I am also not real familar with the needs of a jeweler. However, the accuracy/repeatability...
Well its an idea I shared from the Mechmate forum, I never have done it ... probably should not have been so assertive while stating this out, but one thing is...
