Dual Gantry Control Drive Splitter Board
The Dual Gantry Drive Splitter Board was designed for the many clients we have had requests from. The majority of these client have been those building overhead wood routers, and wanted a positive gantry drive without the need to design a mechanical tie
The benefit of splitter board allows the dual driving of two motors, such as on an overhead gantry, without wasting an axis output from your software. The splitter board will control two TEKdrives simultaneously from one axis output from your Controller board. The main benefit of the splitter board is in re-aligning your gantry after a collision or after power down. If you mount a homing switch on either side of the gantry and perform a homing operation both sides will move towards their home positions, but as each side reaches its respective home position it will stop. Only when both home switches have been reached will the home signal be passed through to the controller. The Drive Splitter Board interfaces directly with the TEKdrives and our control interface boards and can be jumper selected to operate on the X or Y axis.

Digitizing Probes and Tool Height Setters
The probe comes packaged with all devices needed for digitizing or tool setting. An instruction sheet is also included for converting between probe and tool setter along with maintenance instructions and Certificate of accuracy.
DeskCNC will automatically compensate for the diameter of the probe tip and will create a true definition stl cad file for machining the reproduced part allowing you to rough and finish with different sized tools. NO NEED TO SCAN AND CUT WITH THE SAME SIZE TOOL.
- The probe is a 5 way triggered sensor and has a long lasting ruby tip (2 mm, 0.079" diameter).
- The DeskCNC software is comes standard with the facilities to digitize and utilize the tool height
setting function of this product.
- The probe will work with other Controllers that have probe input capabilities.
- It is Rated to10,000,000 points at 20,000 points per hour when used with DeskCNC.
- The Probe combined with DeskCNC will allow you to scan 3D surfaces and create machinable, 3D
.Stl files for part reproduction.
- DeskCNC will perform Automatic tool length measurement to make it easy for multi-tool operations.
- Simple, quick conversion from contact probe to tool height setter.
- The tool setter disk is made from hardened and ground, tool steel contact.
- The Probe roundness error is less than 0.025mm
- The Probe diameter error is less than 0.025mm
- The Probes repeatability deviation is less than 0.025mm
- 1.8M O/A Shielded flying cable included.
- Standard touch probe output
- 10mm or 3/8" holding shank option
- Interchangeable Stylus, additional tips and extensions available on request.

Easy CNC - The Book
CNC experimenters need to learn how to create drawings for their CNC projects using a computer,
how to convert the information contained in the newly created drawing into toolpaths, and then how to
turn toolpath information into the code that will control their CNC machine, again using a computer.
This book by Square 1 Electronics ,"Easy CNC," covers these subjects in detail.
The book is hands-on and full of experiments.
The approach is the crawl-before-you-walk-before-you-run and it's fun!

Control Stack Built from any of our Breakout Boards
Our CNC Interface Control Stacks take the frustration and time out of fiddly wiring. This neat and compact system allows easy plug-in connection for external devices and is configured so it can be mounted within an enclosure allowing you to expose all of the plug sockets for safe external connection. The Stack System also interfaces directly with the TEKdrives to give you neat and tidy internal wiring.
