CNC Specialty Cut Gem Faceting Machine

[Alan Trest]

Hello All,

I am in the final phase of the mechanical build for a 6 axis Specialty Gem Faceting machine. I am now in the process of setting up the electronics and am looking for a recommendation for a 6 axis breakout board. I have some CMD 260 drivers I am going to start with. I'll probably go with two G540's in the near future when funds allow but I already have these drives and will start with them. What 6 axis breakout boards would everyone recommend. I'd like to find a US seller cause I'm ready to start testing. I will be documenting the build and software setup here on the zone in the near future.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Well, no reply's yet so I will post up a couple of pictures to show that this is a real project.

Cool stuff.

My grandpa used to do faceting. He made all kinds of jewelry. Was fun growing up and working with him in his shop.

Dynomotions k-flop will work for up to 8 axis. They also provide free software for running things. Good luck.
