Just turn it around like I did on my lathe. But I milled a plate that holds the two sections together. The Cbeam is what keeps the two High Z...
You are definitely not a nuisance, and that looks cool. I recently bought a new tube for my CO2 laser and noticed it is cutting much deeper on...
I do not think so, but those plates are thinner which may make a difference because the existing LEAD screw may not be long enough. Hopefully,...
The torsion box seems the easiest for a thick platform and should work well. For mine, I have a variety of "spoilboards" for special purposes....
That is how I would make kayak seats out of foam. I would carve it until it fit my butt properly. Recently, I cut the gray floor tiles with the...
Did you look at this link I posted above? It seems a viable way to expand your mini-mill when the time comes. It uses much of the original...
I have been running my CNC router with only 2 screws holding the stepper on on my z axis for about five years using the Mueller tension system...
I have no experience with a Duet. I hear it is a good quality controller. What I understand is that you are building a CNC router not a 3D...
That must be new, or i have just not noticed it. I wonder if that is because you can now put the screws in tension with the addition of the...
Its a good video, but why does someone need 32 minutes to explain a 2 minute thing. ;)
You should be able to extend, but you will need a longer acme screw. Many people have used the 1/2"-10 5 start screw from McMaster Carr. There...
It all depends on how you do your inlays. Are you doing artwork, or letters? If you are v-carving your inlays, a good 60 degree v-bit would work....
I do not know for sure, but I would think it would get grabbed by the endmill.
I was thinking of doing this with a spare mini-fridge freezer combo this Spring. Then Covid-19 came along and my wife went into full-on hoarding...
If you are using the same lead screws and anti-backlash nuts as what came with the machine they should be paired up properly and not bind. If you...
Not a very good copy. In fact the wheels and other components are completely different. Also, I found a promotional video and counted it making...
Are the motor wires paired up properly? The wire codes may not be the same as the OpenBuilds sourced motors....
It would probably be best to sit down and figure out exactly what you need before purchasing. Look at the CAD drawings. You will save money in...
But that number is for someone that has their controller set to 1/8 microsteps. You said yours was set at full microstepping in your reply above....
Fusion 360 is free for hobbyists and can open the .dxf files. You can then print 1:1 drawings in the drawings section. Of course you will need...
