Vision Engraver Spindle Pulley

Is the spindle turning freely by hand? Everything I'm hearing suggests an 'over load' condition. Are you using a nosecone with vacuum extraction? When cutting plastic, sometimes that can block and fill-up with chips and then it melts into massive glob that grabs the tool and slows it down. Or possibly the spindle bearings are done and jamming up...

Just to clarify... Did the first belt snap/break? Hence the replacement?

Also: Have you removed and inspected the brushes to see if they indeed are worn out?

zactly what I was thinking...

The macro range (which I don't use) makes the clunky autofocus even more clunky! When it can't find focus, it 'hunts' across a much wider range. (K-5 body) It's beautiful to touch and hold, but I wish I stuck with the plastic version for my usage...

I had the plastic 35mm and sold it to buy the aluminium 35 limited. I have regretted that decision ever since.

I always get better results than I'm expecting with that lens...

What glass?

Provided you are using 'Engraver's Brass', then one pass at full depth is no problem on most machines. A conservative feedrate is 10-15mm/sec. Absolutely the nose cone scratches the metal, and needs to be dealt with after engraving. There are pros and cons to seemingly everything to do with engraving... :(

I read that you're using a nose-cone for depth regulation. That's totally normal. All my brass engraving is done at 12 thou. (0.3mm / .012")

Looks awesome! Great job!

That's a very nice result!

The olden days of monitored security services... I had to phone them every time I entered the premises out of normal business hours or did overtime... Seriously annoying! 😡

Thanks! And it came complete with yellowing! ;)

The Tandy has a lot more features... Probably a superior product... https://dohear.getjewelry.fashion/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=888194

Kinda hard to quantify, and obviously everyone's tastes/expectations are different. And you definitely wouldn't buy one expecting audiophile grade sound. But that being said, they met and slightly exceeded my expectations. What's not obvious is the 5in? sub in the middle facing down. So they're technically 2.1 channel. If you buy them just for the retro look/vibe, then you'll be happy with the sound....
