Yeah, bolosmith59, don't try to mount a 3HP spindle on it... You just have to live with the inherent strength (or not) of the C-Beam, and work...
Just run the table to the end stops, they will synch automatically. If you make sure your table is square when you position the c-beams (measure...
Depends on the machine. If its a c-beam type with leadscrews, both motors are wired the same. If its a belt drive type like the OX, simply...
FireHaus, you don't need a computer with a serial port. Arduinos use a USB connection. The computer just thinks its a serial port. I'd add a...
Yeah, Rick 2.0, no kidding. I live in Canada where we invented the Fir tree, and it still costs an arm and a leg. And, they sure as heck don't...
Nah, Moag, it's not dangerous if you don't stand in front of it. What is dangerous is very short pieces of material that can get trapped between...
Hey, I just thought of something - 3M VHB tape - This stuff sticks like s**t to a blanket! It would be ideal for bonding 2 pieces of v-slot...

Hey Moag, where did you find the bookmatched knotty pine boards for your bench in Oz?:p Had an idea, could you shave off the edges of the U...

When Do we get the Sketchup Model?
Cool, nice work, EvanBruner. Hey, I had an idea to put tension rods through the c-beam holes, just a threaded rod with nuts on each end to put...
I didn't realize Fusion 360 had finite modelling capabilities. Have to take another look...
Hey EvanBruner, the problem, in my mind, is not simply downward deflection of the c-beam due to gravity and the weight of the router etc. ,...
It's a bit pricey, but have you priced out 3 quarts of Epoxy? Of course HardBlok claims their product is way better than Moroso's, what else is...
See my post in Concrete filled C-Beam? for a further update on c-beam fill with concrete/epoxy...
Hey guys: Further to the discussion of filling the cavities in C-Beam and other extrusions with epoxy or concrete, I just ran across this...
Kyo Where'dya get the sexy braided wire cover?
I agree with EvanBruner. Not going to do much for torsional (twisting) rigidity on the X axis. Still trying to figure out how to stiffen the...
