Yes, I know its better if I use in metal, however it is more difficult to make now, I will rebuild in metal when I finish some other parts: head cut, speed control,..petermontg wrote:Looks like a fun project.
One thing, I wouldn't use wood to carry the over head. The mechanical movement could cause movement overtime in the support.

The Sparkfun/Adafruit type transducers are not your only options. Have a look here for instance :- https://www.parts-express.com/cat/exciters-tactile-transducers/18 I've made an as yet "Untested" Cutterhead, my Soul Sculptor Head :- https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6556 using these transducers, however Fred used some transducers of a similar type with great results (https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-daex30hesf-4-high-efficiency-steered-flux-exciter-with-shielding-30mm-40w-4-oh--295-240) check this out where Fred shows the making of his Cutterhead too :- https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6866Hanoi wrote:I'm wondering what should I choose the transducer: This one https://www.adafruit.com/product/1785 or https://www.adafruit.com/product/1784 or I DIY
pls give me advices, tk uuuuu!
Thank you Soulbear, this helps me alot! Actually Iam based in Vietnam, so have to try to find which one I can buy easily.Soulbear wrote:Hi There,The Sparkfun/Adafruit type transducers are not your only options.

I think noisy or silent is not depends on driver, it depends on how many step to make around, microstep... So it is motor and the way to write code for Arduino.jjwharris wrote:Have you seen these stepper motor drivers?

The silent step mode can lower torque, but, wow, that seems silent.
Haha, I dont know what to call it in English, I use that to carry the tonearm.boryo wrote:Looks great! What this thing that you touch with your finger at the end of the video is doing and how do you call it in english?
Thanks,

Thank you J, this help me much!jjwharris wrote:That is quiet!
There is a guide on Aardvark http://www.aardvarkmastering.com/riaa.htm
You need to be looking at lines per inch
My motor is a gear motor, if connect directly to pitch screw I can not turn pitch screw to move back when finish cutting or I have to wait same time if change motor direction. So I add one more pulley to cut off manually.EpicenterBryan wrote:You have a pretty course pitch lead screw there. The pulley ratio you have might be in the ball park for lead in / lead out - hard to tell from the video. If you swap the pulleys, it will get you closer to a reasonable rotation for normal grooves but still looks to fast for that lead screw to me. Can you tell us the pitch of that lead screw, and the RPM of the motor (or did I miss that)?
