Thanks a lot guys, good information from all of you. I will be ordering some bits right away. One big drawback, it's coming up on Chinese New...
Hey guys: I have my C-Beam Machine up and running, and have done a few test cuts in plywood. All seems to be well. My question relates to...
Ronald: Ahhhh, I get it now. Use the extra plate with clearance holes for the wheel and acme block screw heads to eliminate the washers. Cool,...
Yeah, I'm kind of a beginner with SketchUp, so I'm not surprised. If you can let me know what is out of spec, I'll try to fix it. Thanks.
Hey PuntoMX. Not sure exactly what you mean about the washers? And the second plate, any chance you could do a quick sketch to illustrate? I...
oops forgot the attachment
Hey Mark, Justin, thanks for the feedback. All great ideas. Mark, the "lowrider version" would be good for plates and signs. My design...
Yeah Amazon bought out Small Parts Inc. a while back, and they have a pretty good stock. Use AmazonSupply.com. Or, I think they have changed the...

Hey Steve + all: So, after futzing with the motor a bit, no success at all. Still loses steps on accel + decel. Set my acceleration down to...
Hi Guys: Making some progress on SketchUp, I now can manipulate objects and place them where I want without too much difficulty. Thanks to all...
It's all good now. Thanks
Hey Guys: I have sent several emails to the parts store in the last week and got no response. Anybody know whats up?
This does not give you any more clearance on the z axis. He says that he mounted the c-beam with its bottom even with the bottom of the x gantry...
Here is a view with the z axis flipped, and the Y gantry uprights extended by 50 mm. I now have 125 mm of z travel and should be able to handle...
Update I did a few mods like substituting the extended gantry plate on the z axis for the stock plate, and adding a router mount. As well, I...
Hey Justin: Yeah, I thought about that too, but the limiting factor is the bottom end of the Z axis c-beam anyway. Unless, I could turn the Z...
