Well done the mods better belts, idlers and shortened X axis, and the machine is far better We can really push it now, perhaps we can finaly...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH]I was asked by Beryl guitars some time ago if I would build them a CNC, having experience with my machine at home and being a...
It can be done but you need to run at slow feed/spindle speed and small depth i.e.: 1 - 2mm, when your cutting a 40mm blank this is not feasible,...
Yes, but the cost of the stronger alternative is prohibitive
Not yet still waiting for the supplier, when the upgrade comes it will be all hands, then I will do a full report on improvments made if any,...

Nice pics some great ideas, We will probably go with GT3 belts sooner rather than later, know what you mean with the grub screws, not up to the...
We have a 1500 x1500 axis and have found with the gt2 belts we have we get some slip under load, the guys here have given me ideas for rectifying...
