From where Mark left off from the Ox build I am going to film the whole process of customizing the Ox.

    Looking forward to reading about this build. :thumbsup:

    You are certainly more bold than I when it comes to using Mach4 - perhaps in another year (or so) I may be ready for it. :)

    Well thats the bed complete with precision vice.
    Unfortunately I dont like it so I have uploaded a video of how I made it showing all the mistakes and how I tried to cover them up. I have now ordered some plastic sheet to remake the top.



    V2 on its way....

    I'm a big fan of your composite bed.
    two questions, how is hsm and what's the precision vise module?
    and thirdly hsm plots the tool path but still requires mach3/4?
    finally could you post a quick pick of your electronics wiring config?

    Hsm seemed pretty scary at first the bed was the first thing I done with it, after a while you begin to find how easy it is to use. As I said v2 of the bed will be filmed and I could add in the inventor/hsm part.
    I have made a well at the front that a precision vise fits in there is a pic of the vise at he beginning,



    The electronics will be uploaded soon.

    Your build looks awesome and great job on the videos. What changes do you anticipate making to the bed?

    Actually the bed is starting too grow on me now with the 2 extra side channels, but I got some 20mm HDPE i wanted to use. unfortunately it tends to warp near heat so dont ant to take chance, I`m just waiting for some other plastic thats 2mm so I can skin the bed with it.

    Great video, Daz. I really need to build an enclosure for mine and get all the wires ran neatly. You've given me a lot of great ideas with your videos.

    Found it in me archives, well needed it myself anyway for the new bed. Ive packed it in a zip with versions of EPS, AI, SVG and CDR hope it will be usefull as it was made for my graphtec plotter and has quite a few nodes for the cutter to penetrate the aluminium foil, will need the nodes reducing..
