Tutorial: Inventables Quiet Cut DC Spindle & gShield Shapeoko CNC upgrade
Full blog post and instructions at http://blog.inventables.com/2014/06/shapeoko-upgrade-quite-cut-spindle-with.html This tutorial will walk you through setting up the Inventables.com Quiet Cut Spindle to use with the gShield (previously GRBLshield) and Arduino UNO controller. You will need a few common tools and a few more parts from Inventables for this build. This is also a great upgrade for a DIY CNC router project or even a little mill. With the speed controller you have proportional control of the spindle RPM. The full list of components required for this build is listed on the blog post and at https://www.inventables.com/projects/quiet-cut-spindle-upgrade-for-gshield Additional items: -48VDC Power Supply (part # 30353-03) -Power cord -Speed controller for machine control (start/stop only) and -Isolated Relay Circuit -2 conductor 18-14 gauge wire to extend spindle motor wire -Heat shrink tubing or crimp connectors -Header pins, optional -Power strip, optional
