I think it would benefit from using 40x40's for the front and back rail as well. It may be prudent to move the front and back rails inboard...

A moving gantry machine is a completely different beast than a moving table. I don't see how it would be possible to convert this to a moving...
Not possible to convert a C-beam XL to moving gantry. I would recommend an Arduino/stepper driver combo to upgrade your electronics. Easy and...
Your GRBL Steps/mm calibration values are probably incorrect. Check out my Blog entry on calibration: GRBL Settings and Calibration – 3D Tech...
Premium plates? What are they? It's a wood router, why on earth would you need 0.01mm? The tolerance on the extrusions alone is 20-50x that....
Depends on how you build it. Should get +/-0.1mm accuracy, repeatability around the same, if you use 1/8 microstepping the theoretical resolution...
Tanks, Phil. I'll give it a try. MG
Hi Guys: I have been using Arduino Nanos on all my machine builds for 2 or 3 years now, and using Xloader to load GRBL onto the board. Been...
Huh? MG
Now that's just plain silly. That setup would be about as stiff as a wet noodle. It would have Centimeters of flex. Multipurpose machines may...
I bet warranty didn't cover it... MG
I agree Bats. I once built a machine, and unknowingly wired my motors up wrong because the vendor had changed motor suppliers and the color code...
I always recommend using the USB cables with the built in ferrites. Both ends if possible. You might have to take the USB cable out of the...
GRBL Panel, despite not being supported anymore, works just fine and is pretty well bug free. I was hoping someone would take over the project...
You could certainly use a UC100 or an ESS or something similar to replace the Arduino on your machine, these have MACH3 drivers and output pulse...
Back when I was still building Ox's. I eventually just redesigned the plates to accept a C-beam. I believe Chris at Blue Ox still makes those...
What are the min/max supply voltage limits on the Black Box controller. Will it run on 12V? what about 36V?...
I don't think GRBL is capable of putting out pulses at 10000 mm/min. Max speed as far as I know is about 5000. Depends on your microstepping...
