I can think of a couple things you might be doing with this motor/spindle, and I'm excited about any of them! Having done a CNC milling machine conversion myself, I'd love more "basics" videos on the hardware side of things; there is a plethora of information out there, but its rarely well produced, concise, or up to date. If I'm being honest though, you could make videos about recycling cardboard and I'd still watch.
Yeah me too. The man makes a damn fine product when he's making his damn fine products! This cliff hanger crap is gonna drive me crazy in the meantime, LOL.
Is it a coincidence? Minutes before I watched this video I watched an easy to understand well produced tutorial about stepper motors, what they are, how they work, what the differences are between different type of stepper motors, and how to control them with an arduino, and how to program the arduino, and what the parameters are that you should use to program it correctly according to the specs of the stepper motor that you are going to use. It's a very well explained and a very complete tutorial and well worth watching. ruclips.net/video/0qwrnUeSpYQ/видео.html
Ohh tony's build is in a much higher league than mine but we want different things out of our machines. I just really enjoy Tony's videos so I want more of them lol

You're too close to the maximum voltage! When a stepper & driver are connected to a load and you decelerate the load, that energy has to go somewhere. It comes back (through the driver H-bridge body diodes) and appears on your power supply rails, raising the voltage. Industrial servo drives sometimes have breaking resistors specifically to deal with this. Big linear supplies with lots of output capacitance can absorb some of this into those caps. Switchmode supplies have less output capacitance and your output voltage will rise. Get too high and you'll blow out the MOSFETs in the drivers. I'd want a power supply voltage of 55 to 60 V for motor drivers that have a 70 V maximum input. The natural (mechanical) resolution of a stepper motor is its full or half step resolution (200 or 400 steps per revolution, normally). That's too coarse for most jobs so we microstep them. Microstepping works best at some integer multiple of the natural resolution of the motor. Some drivers let you do non-integer factors but those settings are not as good as the interpolation gets complicated and wonky. With these encoder-backed steppers, they're driven more like a brushless motor and the natural resolution is the resolution of the encoder (usually 500, 1000 or 2000 lines), or the 4x multiple of the number of lines (for reasons to do with how the quadrature signal off the encoder works, having two signals, each of which sees two edges for each encoder line) 72-point-whatever sounds like a terrible resolution to be running the motor at and the driver is probably trying some heroic interpolation to make that happen for you. (and probably failing, which is why your reverse rotation is wonky) Preference would be to set the motor resolution to match its natural encoder resolution (or, failing that, an integer factor or multiple of it). Your limitation there, especially if you're intending to use this motor as a spindle, then becomes maximum pulse frequency. Mach 4, the SmoothStepper, your cables and the driver will each have some maximum frequency they can support and the weakest link in your chain dictates your limit, probably at around 1 MHz. The natural resolution of an encoder backed motor is much higher than an old-fashioned stepper, plus you need higher frequencies when running as a spindle instead of a positioning motor. RPM * 60 * steps per revolution = pulse frequency and you can soon find yourself in radio frequency electronics territory. When that happens, you need to drop the microstep resolution at the motor, but please do so at a nice integer of the encoder.
To piggyback on this, turning microstepping on and off is just a couple of wires. Find the pin for the microstep you want and wire it such that you can turn it on and off. When you need precision, turn it on, do your microstepping. When you just want to spin it like a lathe, turn off microstepping and you're off to the races. This may require you to edit GCode and re-purpose other gcode symbols and whatnot, but you're up to the challenge, This Old Tony. I believe in you.
I'm not sure if it's relevant in your case, but we got pulse driven motors/servos at work, and they need special cables due to the high frequency, but they also run on three phase power. The cable is almost as expensive as the servo itself. Might wanna take this into consideration if you plan to use it as a spindle
You could talk about how your fridge is organized, and I'd watch it. CNC content is better, though. Unless you have a stepper controlled fridge organizer, then, well...
Kris Holland thanks comrade now I'll be up all night wondering if he puts his milk on the left side of the top shelf? Perhaps right side middle shelf? No that's just stupid. Do you think his fridge utilizes cnc controlled organization? DRINK MORE VODKAS
About those linear degrees: they're not the worst; whatever you do, just make sure you never accidentally configure them as degrees of freedom while setting them to anything over six! The stepper being as intelligent as it is, will realize in a mere few milliseconds that it can accommodate that only if it spontaneously disassembles into multiple parts and will be happy to oblige...
I would love to see your take on building a cnc. I would also love to see some ferrules on you 70 volt wires. Some people will say you shouldn’t use them on terminals like that, but they can help to prevent stray strands causing nasty shorts. Like Boss Hogg wearing Daisy Dukes nasty.

Perhaps at this juncture I might relate story of WAY back when I was a pinball machine mechanic. Working on a broken machine in the amusement hall people would walk up and look inside at all the big bundles of wire and oodles of relays. They would inevitably say: "Wow, they are so complicated.

Dear This Old Tony, whilst your vids, your knowledge base has gone from strength to strength my neuro issues have deteriorated inversely to your progression. Tony, I hugely appreciate what you do and how you do what you do. David
This Old Tony is my favorite RUclips channel! I love this channel, and thanks to it and a few others, I have started my own! They inspired me to build my own.
Absolutely yes to the in-depth stuff. Some people get this stuff right away, some people, like me, need it “overexplained” and you are an expert at that.
YES! I would love to see videos covering the hardware. It would be nice to see you cover the subject, you have a knack in being able to explain things for the pro, novice and beginner. You covering the basics and building on it. Your informational and hysterical keep it up!! The things that you have shown us have made me better at my job, rather if it directly relates or not.
Love to hear your take on it. I've got a few steppers, rails, and a ballscrew, but I have to get drivers for them, and I'm kinda overwhelmed by looking around. Looking forward to getting past that, because I have an idea for the milling head to use a treadmill motor and pulley system, and make my own spindle. Thanks for making these videos. I learn a lot from them and they're fun to watch.
There's always some dork who has to say that the connector is actually a DE-9, not a DB-9. Today, that dork is me. D is the shape, E is the size, and 9 is the pin count. For example, a VGA connector is a DE-15. DB is the size of the old 25 pin serial port. #funatparties

I dig this type of video from you. I like how you go over the details in a very TLDR (Too long didnt read) sort of way. I also appreciate your attention to detail that is super important in the trade craft and is good to be used to dealing with the minutia when working in the home shop. Keep it up I will stick around no matter what.
I love every episode of This Old Tony. Keep up the great work! Even though I may never leave the "wood" domain and move into "metal", it's fun to learn from you! Thank you for continuing to post!
Seeing a Schneider Electric Stepper in a TOT video...Seeing that made me so happy :D Im doing an apprenticeship at Schneider.. im currently in the repairs department repairing bad boys like these on a daily basis :D
You might not want to brag about how many of these you are repairing. I used to be a distributor for these and had a lot of problems with them before Schneider bought them.

ThisOldTony, Yes for the love of all that is tool steel, please give us a good crib sheet to make our own CNC doo-dad. I can understand you, more than others!
I’m a relatively new subscriber,How ever your videos are very informational and they keep me coming bk. Looking for more. With that comes a BIG THANKS!!
Yes, moar CNC. Stephan from CNC Kitchen just reviewed his old, home built, simple wood framed CNC. Videos like his, and yours are what inspires folks like me to keep plugging away and doing more projects. Any video you do will be interesting.
"Not to be confused with linear degrees." That got me for about 10 seconds before I realized I was an idiot. I can always count on you for making me feel dumb. Thanks Tony! :-P
Any videos you make, regardless of the content, is always informative and your spin makes it a fun video to watch. You could make a video about painting a fence, and I’d laugh and probably learn something.
Would love your take on CNC101... I'm sure that I would find your take on building the perfect pastrami sandwich entertaining and informative, lol. Keep on keeping on, brother! BTW, I'm enjoying my new TOT t-shirt... Keep the faith!
during a night at the pub up here in Shetland we were discussing who would you take into a bunker to survive the end of the world on my list was this old tony the others turned around and said who showed them one clip and now they are hooked tony you get me through the long dark winters up here thanks man
Every time I see coding in that fashion it reminds me of when I was a young boy copying lines from 101 basic games on to my precomputer. Also, it sounded to me as if Tony has some sort of allergies or some such thing, I hope it's nothing serious. Thank you for your content Tony, I appreciate it very much.
Yes I would love to see your take on cnc stuff. I know there's lots out there but you have a knack for breaking it down to the level that I can understand
More Knowledge is never a bad thing. Yes the topic has been covered elsewhere but your perspective might be able to help someone who hasn't ever quite "gotten" it before. I know i would love to see a video series on it.
I’ve just discovered bootlace ferrules, fantastic for stranded cables in screw terminals. To increase the OCD, a heat shrink tube printer finishes the job.
That programming looked pretty basic I am going to build my own CNC at some point (after I move to the states next year) so +1 for the how to video. And any complaints, it's your router video that made me want to do that, or buy a lathe or a welder. So big man it's your fault :-P
I've used them in industry, the feed back would go to the x any y axis controller so the machine of what ever type would know it's position, in the controller you could position the stop point of the axis or whatever step within the controllers capability you wanted, just watching and having fun best vids on RUclips!
I’d really like to see your take on the detail behind CNC machines and their components. It’s all a bit of a black art to me and my lack of knowledge puts me off starting. There is so much info out there and so many similar but different bits of tech I get lost and feel I know even less than before I started. Your videos really help - look forward to what you’ll do with this motor too.
Have been waiting on this one. I've seen your previous CNC build stuff Would definitely love to watch more in depth tutorials Hoping to use your techniques to help me build my own. Definitely like your approach and looking forward. Thank you . Tony Greetings from India
Tony, you have creditability in my book. Alot of diy cnc on the net is phooey. Your machinist/engineering/knowledge is is what we(I) want. Please add your take on it. Thx.
I looked up linear degree and the results were pretty much about polynomials. Since polynomial sounds pretty fancy, from now on I'm going to say that I have a Polynomial Degree in Philosophy. Maybe that will finally give all those wasted hours some prestige. It works for all useless degrees. "Susan has a Polynomial Degree in Theater". I see a Polynomial in Susan's future if I she figures out how easy it is to get one..
This reminds me of a guy I worked with who had a business card that stated his degree as 'Hsdo'. After a (long) while someone got the courage to ask what that stood for. High school drop out, he replied.
Yes, please give your take on the rudimentary basics, the wiring, the controller, really all of it. I would love to have one but its more fun to make one vs buy one. I like to know the whole machine, it makes troubleshooting MUCH easier. With proprietary hardware these days, everyone wants a subscription... maintenance should NOT be one of the things I should have to subscribe to. Thanks for your time I really enjoy your channel.
Yes! I would love to see everything CNC you can give us! Including how to use the programs, which programs to use, Mach3 vs something else, which is easier to use for basic things and which can you use for more advanced settings.
Tony, if you have a stepper (or servo) with a built-in encoder, it will typically have other outputs in addition to the A/B quadrature outputs. One of these is likely an INDEX. If you are attempting to make a lathe... you will want both the A and the INDEX as they are used in threading operations. Additionally... having feedback is useful because there is usually an ERROR signal. With traditional steppers, if you miss a step, or a hundred... you have no way of knowing. With an active encoder, it will send out an ERROR signal should the preset limit be exceeded. This way, the ESTOP will be triggered and the job stopped... instead of mucking up the piece and/or destroying a bit. I hope you found this helpful. I'll be addressing using the stepper as a C-Axis and Spindle on my channel... as soon as I figure out the LinuxCNC programming. :- /
I worked at a planetarium that had a laser show in high school and college and the reverse sound reminded me of the scanner amps (XY mirror servos) when all 5 pairs were spooled up... I do miss having the keys and alarm code to that place, best date spot *_ever !!_*
This video has literally come at a PERFECT time for me haha. This is the next step (due for this afternoon, or this weekend) to me finishing my cnc router. I managed to get through the hardware side of things, but this software stuff is rough haha. Especially fighting with Mach3's interface.
"If anyone would be interested in a video about..."

See my reply in your big problems with the K & T motor part 2 if this makes no sense.
I can think of a couple things you might be doing with this motor/spindle, and I'm excited about any of them! Having done a CNC milling machine conversion myself, I'd love more "basics" videos on the hardware side of things; there is a plethora of information out there, but its rarely well produced, concise, or up to date. If I'm being honest though, you could make videos about recycling cardboard and I'd still watch.

We joke and kid, but sometimes letting the stream reset itself, is all it takes. The meme has hurt a decent, basic, age old procedure.
I work for their competitor in the integrated motor field. If you have any more problems, just get a JVL Industri Electronik model instead ;)
Was that a reference to how they just fixed the Hubble telescope?
I love every episode of This Old Tony. Keep up the great work! Even though I may never leave the "wood" domain and move into "metal", it's fun to learn from you! Thank you for continuing to post!
Seeing a Schneider Electric Stepper in a TOT video...Seeing that made me so happy :D Im doing an apprenticeship at Schneider.. im currently in the repairs department repairing bad boys like these on a daily basis :D
You might not want to brag about how many of these you are repairing. I used to be a distributor for these and had a lot of problems with them before Schneider bought them.
@@adisharr i get your point.. but i mean repairs aren't uncommon in an industrial environment..
Wow man I love working with Schneider gear :) you lucky devil
how much does an apprentice get paid ?
motor has a "Warranty Void if removed" sticker. The FTC warns companies about those 'warranty void if removed' labels. mashable.com/2018/04/11/warrant-void-labels-ftc/#gCtiBrS8OOqP
We would LOVE your take on ANYTHING, but cnc building basics would be one of the top picks
ThisOldTony, Yes for the love of all that is tool steel, please give us a good crib sheet to make our own CNC doo-dad. I can understand you, more than others!
I’m a relatively new subscriber,How ever your videos are very informational and they keep me coming bk. Looking for more. With that comes a BIG THANKS!!
Great Content as always, I'm going to guess a CNC Record Turntable.
Yes, moar CNC. Stephan from CNC Kitchen just reviewed his old, home built, simple wood framed CNC. Videos like his, and yours are what inspires folks like me to keep plugging away and doing more projects. Any video you do will be interesting.
"Not to be confused with linear degrees."
That got me for about 10 seconds before I realized I was an idiot. I can always count on you for making me feel dumb. Thanks Tony! :-P
my pleasure Chevee! ....err
Linear degrees is what's on the gauge for checking your blinker fluid level.
or you know, you can use it to check the flank angle of your car's piston return springs
I thought this was the angle between 2 points, my bad.
My lab thermometer is calibrated in linear degrees Celsius . . . : P
I would love a cnc hardware series; RUclips still needs one that is not only informative but also funny
I don't know if I'd have taken that *Route* but good job.
I'll show myself out.
Any videos you make, regardless of the content, is always informative and your spin makes it a fun video to watch. You could make a video about painting a fence, and I’d laugh and probably learn something.
Would love your take on CNC101... I'm sure that I would find your take on building the perfect pastrami sandwich entertaining and informative, lol.
Keep on keeping on, brother! BTW, I'm enjoying my new TOT t-shirt... Keep the faith!
during a night at the pub up here in Shetland we were discussing who would you take into a bunker to survive the end of the world on my list was this old tony the others turned around and said who showed them one clip and now they are hooked tony you get me through the long dark winters up here thanks man
Computer science major here to say your code @2:25 was flawless. Exactly how I would have written it.
ya but, are you any good?
Every time I see coding in that fashion it reminds me of when I was a young boy copying lines from 101 basic games on to my precomputer. Also, it sounded to me as if Tony has some sort of allergies or some such thing, I hope it's nothing serious. Thank you for your content Tony, I appreciate it very much.
@@Juxtaposed1Nmotion I bet he's a hack.
@juxtaposed1Nmotion pffff. no.
Yes I would love to see your take on cnc stuff. I know there's lots out there but you have a knack for breaking it down to the level that I can understand
This is my step motor, I never knew my real motor.
I just got into CNC and yes. We need more of these videos! Specially from you.
It wasn't necessarily the wrong manual, just that the manual for that particular device doesn't come out for another 17 years.
How many people got that I wonder !
More Knowledge is never a bad thing. Yes the topic has been covered elsewhere but your perspective might be able to help someone who hasn't ever quite "gotten" it before. I know i would love to see a video series on it.
I'd watch a movie about watching paint drying if it was made by you!
Well of course, it would be filled with crazy information that I didn't know I wanted to know and will likely never use!
I do really want to get into machining, but getting the equipment seems like such a daunting task.
Not only would I like to see you do those how to videos, I highly encourage this course of action!
power cable looks like its gagging to short out with a wee stray strand .. may be worth adding some ferules.
Or strip them a bit less
I’ve just discovered bootlace ferrules, fantastic for stranded cables in screw terminals. To increase the OCD, a heat shrink tube printer finishes the job.
Tony, I learn stuff from every one of your videos, even stuff I didn't know that I didn't know! Would love a video on CNC ins and outs!
You NEED to connect to the feedback interface to confirm that the damn thing actually subscribed!
Mr.tony!
Of course it would be pleasant to hear u telling the story of basics of cnc
That programming looked pretty basic
I am going to build my own CNC at some point (after I move to the states next year) so +1 for the how to video. And any complaints, it's your router video that made me want to do that, or buy a lathe or a welder. So big man it's your fault :-P
Pretty _BASIC_ indeed...
I've used them in industry, the feed back would go to the x any y axis controller so the machine of what ever type would know it's position, in the controller you could position the stop point of the axis or whatever step within the controllers capability you wanted, just watching and having fun best vids on RUclips!
What happened to the hydraulic press build video?! I was just wanting to re-watch it for reference last night but it's not there anymore.
sorry Kevin, had to take it down, but I plan to repost it... sooner or later! (if I don't build a new press first)
Moving “exclusive content” for Patreons? ;-)
sorry to bust your theory but it was already gone some weeks ago. WAIT! what if that is part of the evil plan?
I’d really like to see your take on the detail behind CNC machines and their components. It’s all a bit of a black art to me and my lack of knowledge puts me off starting. There is so much info out there and so many similar but different bits of tech I get lost and feel I know even less than before I started. Your videos really help - look forward to what you’ll do with this motor too.
Your voice sounds slightly different. A bug or glitch maybe? Or maybe you need software update?
4:14 holy shit... this video was shot 17 years in the future and set back to us to see! Amazing!
Love the content Tony keep it up!
Have been waiting on this one.
I've seen your previous CNC build stuff
Would definitely love to watch more in depth tutorials
Hoping to use your techniques to help me build my own. Definitely like your approach and looking forward.
Thank you . Tony
Greetings from India
wait i want a heart from you too!
I'm putting this on my wall
Tony, you have creditability in my book. Alot of diy cnc on the net is phooey. Your machinist/engineering/knowledge is is what we(I) want. Please add your take on it. Thx.
I looked up linear degree and the results were pretty much about polynomials. Since polynomial sounds pretty fancy, from now on I'm going to say that I have a Polynomial Degree in Philosophy. Maybe that will finally give all those wasted hours some prestige. It works for all useless degrees. "Susan has a Polynomial Degree in Theater". I see a Polynomial in Susan's future if I she figures out how easy it is to get one..
I have a polynomial degree but you may know it by other names.
This reminds me of a guy I worked with who had a business card that stated his degree as 'Hsdo'. After a (long) while someone got the courage to ask what that stood for. High school drop out, he replied.
I love watching all the videos you post. What ever it is I'll watch it so keep making em'!!
10/24/2035 nice date
I was wondering if anyone noticed that
Hard to imagine someone using Galaxy Note in 2035
Well, TOT seems to have a soft spot for old/vintage tech and tools :)
Your second line of code didn't make sense. When you say G0, it will automatically assume rapids, negating the need for a how fast question.
Great video, looking forward to seeing the project using this motor. I would also love to see you do video series on all areas of DIY CNC.
Also, did ToT's voice sound just a bit different to anyone else?
I actually noticed it, and checked the speed of the playback.
I thought it was just the oddball laptop I was watching it on. Maybe not just me!
this,
what's up, got a cold or something?
It’s one of his clones. That’s how he’s been getting these videos out quicker.
Yes Tony, your take on it would be amazing.
DO IT TONY ID LOVE TO SEE VIDEO ON HOW TO HOOK THIS STUFF UP AND UNDERSTAND IT
Would defintely want to see your take on the CNC build. There's other videos out there, but really enjoy your format and humour.
Are you dealing with allergies? Your voice sounds different
He is just going through his 4th bout of puberty.
not allergies. little bit of cold coming on? thanks for asking!
Was wondering if he got a new mic!
Look guys, that was probably the future Old Tony who came back in time to upgrade his cnc.
Or maybe using Ave's advice and has the vise too tight
Nice touch with the year on your cellphone. You are a man of detail.
I would love to hear more about it, especially YOUR take and unique spin 😊
Yes, please give your take on the rudimentary basics, the wiring, the controller, really all of it. I would love to have one but its more fun to make one vs buy one. I like to know the whole machine, it makes troubleshooting MUCH easier. With proprietary hardware these days, everyone wants a subscription... maintenance should NOT be one of the things I should have to subscribe to. Thanks for your time I really enjoy your channel.
Yes Tony, I would very much like to see your take on building a hobbiest level CNC!
Thanks Tony, I'd love to see your take on a hobby cnc, you're right there's a lot of stuff about but few I'd trust as much as you
You know you're spoiling us with all those frequent videos..
DON'T STOP MAN..!
Yes! I would love to see everything CNC you can give us!
Including how to use the programs, which programs to use, Mach3 vs something else, which is easier to use for basic things and which can you use for more advanced settings.
More "This Old Tony" on any subject increases the sum of happiness in the world.
Tony, if you have a stepper (or servo) with a built-in encoder, it will typically have other outputs in addition to the A/B quadrature outputs. One of these is likely an INDEX. If you are attempting to make a lathe... you will want both the A and the INDEX as they are used in threading operations.
Additionally... having feedback is useful because there is usually an ERROR signal. With traditional steppers, if you miss a step, or a hundred... you have no way of knowing. With an active encoder, it will send out an ERROR signal should the preset limit be exceeded.
This way, the ESTOP will be triggered and the job stopped... instead of mucking up the piece and/or destroying a bit. I hope you found this helpful.
I'll be addressing using the stepper as a C-Axis and Spindle on my channel... as soon as I figure out the LinuxCNC programming. :- /
Your take on stuff is the best take, it is what keeps me going :')
Please TOT bless us with your legendary CNC knowledge.
I worked at a planetarium that had a laser show in high school and college and the reverse sound reminded me of the scanner amps (XY mirror servos) when all 5 pairs were spooled up... I do miss having the keys and alarm code to that place, best date spot *_ever !!_*
Keep up the good work tony! Love watching your videos while drink driving my electric toothbrush!
This video has literally come at a PERFECT time for me haha. This is the next step (due for this afternoon, or this weekend) to me finishing my cnc router. I managed to get through the hardware side of things, but this software stuff is rough haha. Especially fighting with Mach3's interface.
