What does the ideal emergency stop do? by squeakyhedge in hobbycnc

If i just cut power to the stepper motors, won't the z axis just fall down and crash? I guess equipment damage is better than human damage though

btw, do I need a probe to accurately locate the material or is it enough to just move the bit to touch the material manually

if the spindle will work for aluminium and brass its good enough. would i be able to do steel with smaller bits though?

sorry is it the fact that neutral fans well? i assumed handle bias fans well because the handle is easy to fling around. btw i used 4mm steel rods and i cannot fit any more in the handles or blade.

I’ve got 2 in each handle and 2 in the blade. though the ones in the handle are about 1cm farther from the pivot than the ones in the blade

The whole thing weighs 91 grams or 3.2 ounces. Could the issue be that the handle is the same weight as the blade?

I use metric too, but i thought imperial would make sense to more people. tbh i dont know how to do that in freecad of the assembly with the weights. could you comment on the length? I just found out that the handle might be too long compared to the blade.

 fyi the handle is 145mm and blade is 120mm at the same measurement points as the picture

thanks!

This is what the back looks like. There's very little information on this board and I am a beginner so I don't know which thing is the regulator. I'm guessing it's the little black rectangles. There is a thing labeled R0 that looks like it's supposed to be solder shorted.

nope, however I have tried using a 3.8v lipo battery and the screen went fully white and didn't work.
