I completely forgot... Black, red, and white are the three spindle wires. Green has a connector for spindle ground. Then the shield would be...
Solder on some extra wire to the shield as close to the VFD as possible. I'll get a pic of mine when the sun comes up.
Don't connect the Spindle wire shield to the VFD. A shield is meant to be grounded directly. The earth on the VFD is also grounded. Unless you...
I've been working on a few little things here and there, but it's really being held up by... [ATTACH]
What exactly are you trying to cut? You mentioned being cheaper than a Glowforge, but a GF is a CO2 laser, not a diode.
It's insane.
Size is the first issue. Hard milling requires rigidity. Making a machine rigid becomes exponentially more expensive as size increases. I don't...
No one machine will cover masonry, ferrous, non ferrous, wood, and plastic unless you are really spending a crap ton of money. You need a wet...
I should clarify something. Everyone is always asking about drilling aluminum and other metals. My mind automatically goes to that. If you are...
With what you said, a 1.5kW may be what you would be after. Just remember the voltage issue. The only spindle I know that can go down low is the...

I made the wiring for all of the limits. Of course it needs to finished on the controller side, but that's easy. There are connectors...
The canopy and bed turned out to be much stronger than I thought they would be. There won't be any need for reinforcement after everything is...
I'm not sure why the last couple of pics were cut off... Eh, here's more.
After drilling all of the access holes, I gave everything a nice good soapy bath to remove the grease from manufacturing and my post processing....
I wish I had a drill press. There are a total of 28 holes through 30mm and 12 holes through 60mm. I was lucky enough to find the bushings. I...
A few hours later... 48 M8 holes are now tapped. The next step is drilling access holes. I made jigs for this, but they need bushings to act as...
Take the picture without flash. It's hard to see the edges. I'm seeing shadows and glare. It could be melting. It could be shatter. Are the...
