Oh. I should add that while the miter saw includes a stop block, it wasn't that useful for me. The rails for the stop block aren't that long, so I...
I have used the Evolution miter saw quite a bit. A couple of points based on the above discussion: (1) The cuts seemed quite accurate. I was able...
There are two questions here. First, what is the difference in speed between the two saws? Second, does it matter? For the first, we can look at...
You should seriously consider taking a look at machines designed to cut aluminum instead of a generic chop saw. The ideal speed for cutting...
I agree. You are most likely to be able to get away with NEMA 17 motors on the X and Z axes. I've got a 1000mm x 1000mm and the NEMA 24 motors I...
I would like to upgrade to shielded cables, but I haven't found a good connector system yet that I like. Currently, I am using barrel jacks for...
Just FYI, I used exactly that pin on the xPro v2 for my own Z-axis touch plate. It works perfectly and has so far been completely reliable. Make...
When looking at the overall accuracy of a machine, I think that the odds of individual linear actuators being the limiting factor is small. Almost...
Ok. Here is a crazy idea. The problem is not really the height itself. It is the fact that the tall and heavy beams/motors are unsupported at the...
@Metalguru This is an interesting thread. I've been making a bunch of my own connectors in ABS for small scale constructions. But I'm not sure I...
In general, you want to stick with a Raspberry Pi unless there is a compelling reason to go elsewhere. The reason is that of the computer boards,...
@Rick 2.0 I think it is one of those picture message puzzles. F + Bird + Play - V + G + In - Camera + P + Envelope - Radar Not sure what it all...
@LukasK I don't see a lot of advantages in X-Large plates on the Y-axis. If I wanted to have a very broad base of support, I would use two normal...
@LukasK I can take a few more photos of the connection. I went a bit overboard on it. I had a double L-Bracket on either side, an L-plate where...
Take a look at the C-Bot: C-Bot I'm seriously considering trying to build one myself. The XY control seems pretty elegant and the whole setup is...
You want to use the C-Beam End Mount with C-Beam unless there is a good reason to pick another. Take a look at the linear actuator bundle to see...
I've been playing around with Onshape and it seems pretty powerful while allowing free usage for smaller users. But a lot of my parts need to be...
And this build is complete. I'm actually producing parts. The main pieces seem pretty standard. But here are the things I think work best and the...
Contrariwise is a simple CNC router built from C-Beam linear actuators for every axis. It is integrated into a 1m x 1m x 1m shelf/table. It is...
You can take a look at my build here: Contrariwise -- A C-Beam Router If you are planning on doing aluminum with something similar, you would...
