I did not realize that this thread still had any activity until I got an email from Ben. For anyone else who is curious, I have attached the plate...
That machine looks incredible. You definitely went the extra mile to add a great polish onto a rugged frame. Congratulations! :)
I think it is normal for steppers, especially at low voltages. I eventually 'fixed' this problem by upgrading to dedicated power controllers and...
And purchased. Thanks Rick!
@Giarc I wish somebody would sell that board. Currently, I've got a cobbled together breadboard setup for my limit switches which works for now...
I use the 'quiet cut' spindle which is 300 watts and is ideal for the plastic and plywood cutting I do. I don't think you can get this spindle...
I use cover plates over the top of the makerlink. If you make the hole spacing on the plate identical to that of the makerlink, then you can use...
I use an aluminum-extrusion table/shelf/bench for my CNC. Some notes for you to think about: (1) My legs are 20 x 40. The shelves and cross...
Adam, this is the same machine I mentioned in another thread about this about a year ago:...
The CNC Router Parts rack and pinion works well with C-Beams. That is how my current machine is set up. Steel racks, steel wheels. It isn't...

Generally speaking, it is better to use a bit smaller than the hole size you want and have it spiral in. If you really want to drill a 1/4" hole...
As @Kevon Ritter says, the solution might be to accept the limitations of the rigidity of your machine and change your cutting accordingly. Ramp...
