I think it would be cool to see a way to use v-slot to make a table-saw out of a hand-held saw. Same for a router. Maybe do both with the same...
Hey that looks plenty strong. The connectors are a godsend. I don't know whether foot-pegs would be better than steel angle but on larger format...
I think my routy is using 5/16" allthread. Works great with no microstepping. Just get a very straight piece.
The documentation provided with the tb6560 is for a different pin configuration than the one that comes with the documentation. Imagine trying to...
I have this card. It's called the Sainsmart tb6560. Mine has 4 axes plus a spindle on relay. Everything works but I had to do a lot of research to...
What about making the mounts out of plexiglass? I think they'll hold together long enough to mill some aluminium replacements...
I cut some pine with ease and it came out clean and smooth. Go too fast and it chatters. I guess the bit was bouncing like you said. I don't have...

Hey dudes, So I am getting ready to make all this and wanted to run it by you all to make sure it will work. I've got a double-fluted solid...
It all depends how/where you mount them. They come with a protective sleeve which has a very tiny slit for the light to pass through. If the slit...
This build is an add-on for any kind of CNC machine, 3D printer, laser cutter, etc. Optical endstops are an extremely inexpensive way to accurize...
The Dude published a new build: Optical home and limit switches for cnc, 3D printers, laser cutters, etc. Read more about this build...
