I have found that the dust shoe has largely eliminated dust getting into the tracks, glad I added that. Notice the two neodymium magnets -- I...
Thanks Robert, I'm still figuring out the best ways to use the vacuum table, so far the results are promising. Hadn't seen Podz before...
Thanks Nick :D Also, cool thread on the dust shoe, definitely gonna grab some ideas from that one!
Glad you like the machine, thanks :) The rack is attached to 1/8" flat plate (threaded holes), which is in turn attached to the extrusion via...
Here's a short video showing some of the features of The Frog, hope you can see it ok: [media]
Looks great Matt, can't wait to see how the design evolves under your care! I also have thought about using a leadscrew rather than belt on the...
Glad you were able to read the files. Looks like the version you used of the Side Plate is from an earlier rev, or you removed the "hog holes"...
DXF, IGS and STEP format files are now in the "Files" area for download. They're in one zip file. Enjoy!
In response to Matt -- the motor I stalled was the router itself (the high speed cutting motor), not one of the steppers. As I mentioned, I had...
Thanks Matt, I'll have a look. I did my first cutting today, very exciting! Showed me all sorts of things that I need to do better, starting...

I am now building the Frog, going well so far. I plan to post some photos soon. BTW I have just posted an updated version (1.3), now includes...
Good thought, thanks.
Similar to how Sean Martin (Donek) did it -- drill the current (shown) permanent top with a matrix of holes, attach a sacrificial spoiler of MDF...
I can provide any format that SolidWorks can export. I have a few more days of detailing, then I'll post them. Let me know your preferred...
Updated model available, now has a start at some of the ideas above.
I'm playing with different ideas on the construction of the vacuum table, thanks for the suggestions. It may work to have the vacuum box provide...
I ordered one of the "Horrible" Freight trim routers that Nick had mentioned, waiting to see if it will be ok for the task. At $30 it's a...
