Why not just use a 10x16x5 ball bearing instead? 10x16 Bearing 10x16x5 Open As for the Ballscrew Nut, why wouldn't something like this work?...
I am definitely impressed with your efforts there. Very nice design. I especially liked how well it tracked. In the video I was noticing that it...
That is a nice design. Am curious about your gantry trucks- I don't see any adjustments for the bearings, did you have trouble getting that to...
Well the Bosch isn't super quiet, but it isn't terrible when it's just idling at the lower rpm's. You can talk over it.
Yeah, that's a reasonable point. And I do agree that my Bosch running at a lower speed is nowhere near as loud.
I have been looking at the water-cooled spindles in the 2-5K range. Not sure yet what I want to purchase. Still gathering info...
I'm not done yet ;-) So Answer #1 is what I wrote on down below. Here is answer #2: I am strongly considering upgrading to a "real" spindle,...
This is my latest project, a new CNC router with a larger cutting envelope (1500mm x 3000mm / approx 5 by 10 ft) and strong enough to cut wood and...
See my second build: "Bigger and Stronger" 1500x3000mm (5x10ft) CNC Router here: https://openbuilds.com/builds/build-2-bigger-stronger.5402/
Thanks! Very nice of you to say. It's been a lot of fun to build and now I'm looking forward to some warmer weather (anything above freezing would...
Really?? Where's the fun in that? I have been working on building my machine and it would be nice to win the parts so that I can *rebuild* my old...
Well done, nice build happening there! Don't sweat your "mistakes"-- believe me, I've made plenty and I have a bucket-load more of them still to...
Sure, regularly-- typically once a week if I have anything new to report. Feel free to check it out anytime. I have just updated the project build...
I'm currently in the middle of building a new machine now. When I'm done building, I'll be giving my old machine "that look" (to which it will be...
This is a seriously nice machine. I really like it a lot. You're giving me lots of good ideas...
Yes, I agree. I was originally going to make it out of wood, and the more I thought about it, the more sense it made (to me) to just build it out...
Looking forward to seeing it.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm planning on mounting them on plates and then arranging for the plates to swivel on a bearing race attached to the...
Getting there. Will be more so when I get the motor mounts made and the electronics installed. Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks!
