Please send purchase receipt of order ID 38964 to whunter@clcair.com

Here is a list of the parts needed to get the electronics combo functioning (parallel or USB interface options):

- 22 or 24 gauge stranded hookup wire to connect all of the drivers to the USB or parallel interface (terminal to terminal connections),
- 18 gauge stranded hookup wire to connect the drivers to the power supply,
- a power cable (extension cord) to connect from the power outlet to the power supply,
- 4 conductor cable to connect the drivers to the stepper motors,
- a USB cable to connect from the computer to the USB interface (or for power to the parallel interface),
- for the parallel interface, a parallel cable is needed (male to male db-25),
- a computer (for parallel interface, the computer will need a parallel port and if the computer does not contain a parallel interface, the motherboard may have a header for it, or you can purchase a parallel adapter to plug into the motherboard, very inexpensive),
- cnc control software: for the USB interface, you will need planet-cnc software, for the parallel interface, you can use any industry standard cnc control software (the typical is Mach3 for Windows, or EMC2 or Linuxcnc for Linux (Linuxcnc.org).

5v power supply is not needed. The 5 volts signal level power is derived from the computer through USB on both types of interfaces.

I need to change my address before I order parts.

I believe the country of Puerto Rico may need to be US instead. I will change the cart's country field tonight so that it reflects the correct value.

Additional Information:
I see that you used US and may have worked for the US postal department but I also noticed there is an exception for UPS. I will do further research and fix this issue for PR customers! Many thanks for your patience and persistence.

Additional Information:
I just completed some fixes to the cart that corrects the Puerto Rico address for USP and USPS. It appears that USPS and USP require differences in the way the country is designated.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and please let us know if you are experiencing any further issues.

We offer a 4'x8' laser system that uses an 80 watt laser tube.
Vertical Laser XL 4'x8'

Our blackTooth 24"x20" laser uses a 40 watt laser tube due to the internal size constraints and that the laser tube is mounted on the gantry for ease of aligning and maintaining better power at the cutting end.

The 2.2kW spindle will accept up to 9/16" (a little over 1/2") end mill shanks down to very small diameters (any size that ER-20 will accept). The 1.5kW spindle has a reduced collet size and will only accept up to 5/16". The 1.5kW will accept ER-11 collets.

Does the spindle accept different collet sizes, or do I need to purchase different spindles that will accept different collets?

Here is the new link to the Planet CNC software download page: http://planet-cnc.com/software/

You can try the software as a demo however you will have limited g-code lines you can run. I believe it was around 500, so you can create small items with the demo.
To fully unlock the Planet-CNC software you will need to purchase the license.

Unfortunately we no longer include or sell our CNC plans for none of our machines. We will be here to assist you if any parts wear over time, and will be able to replace the parts if needed.

What do I need to purchase from you to get me running. I have planet cnc control board but it is difficult contacting them when I need help.

When did you purchased the VFD and spindle? We only started this after the date of the instagram post that offered this added service.

Additional Information:
I purchased it July 16, 2020 however due to all the 2020 issues, I'm just now completing my CNC and hooking up the VFD and Spindle.

Additional Information:
The service started on Sept 23, 2020. Your order was prior to that.

The soldering is straightforward. If you wish to have me provide this extra service, feel free to send the unit back with the cable and I will solder the cable and do the parameter check and test the VFD and spindle.

Additional Information:
When I purchased my VFD and Spindle, I forgot to purchase the wire for the spindle. I had an electrician run a 220 line and hook up the VFD. But I don't have the wire for the spindle. I'd like to get the one you recommend and just pay you for another connector and the soldering.

Additional Information:
Can I purchase the one you spindle wire you recommend and just pay you for another connector and the soldering.

You state "If you purchase cabling, we will solder the cable to the spindle and connect the cable to the VFD." I didn't see that when I purchased my spindle and vfd. If I place an order for the wire and another female adapter, will you please solder the connector to the wire?

You would need to contact Mr. Dave Hair to see if he is interested in selling it

How can I purchase a wooden adjustable casserole carrier?

Yes, all you need to do is purchase an extra driver. If you are purchasing the 4th axis from us, you won't need to purchase a motor since the 4th axis already has a stepper motor in the assembly. If you have a 4th axis, make sure your 4th axis has a stepper motor, otherwise, you will need to purchase the appropriate motor.

No they will not come in that length as a default, we would contact the buyer to ask specific lengths due to the total length purchased.

However if you order the 1/2" lead screw we can get them cut to the specific length you require, by contacting us here or call us at 281-815-7701.
