My advice to everyone when using GRBL based controllers is to thoroughly read the GRBL wiki and refer to it often. It discusses all these things...
Eccentric spacers need a bigger hole and so the screw needs a bigger pocket to rotate in as you adjust the eccentric spacer. Also, where did you...
I used this 2x4-Basics-Workbench, and made my own 2x4s by laminating 3 layers of 1/2 inch (or maybe it was 5/8"?) plywood. It seems to be nearly...

This is so awesome. I really want to try something more difficult than aluminum, but I can't - at this time - think of a project.
I know you said you prefer being taught, but why not just try cutting simple objects out of scrap using Estlcam. Also, I believe you need to make...
You will need to custom build your own, or order a kit from the folks that sell the larger Ox or Workbee kits. The other kits available from...
The wheels have their dimensions listed on their product page. The spacer and screw measurements are also listed. The plates used to have the...
I think that if you want to use the ox side plates, and you want something that can handle the torque of a router/spindle, you should have built...
If you look at the Sketchup drawing of the plates, you will see the Y gantry plates are about 159 mm wide and the X plates are 110 mm. That is...
I would guess that the Sphinx plates are at least 200 mm wide. So, you are down to 800 mm of cutting length which is about 31.5 inches in length....
My first instinct was the bed wasn't level, but you mentioned it was. I actually wrote a big long thing about zeroing on top the work and how it...
Wow! This is cool. Machining the key looks very interesting...and difficult. The xpro housing is neat too. Did you 3D print it, or did you find...
The Cbeam XL will probably work well for what you need. Or even the Cbeam. The kits are on sale with free shipping today.
I am very happy with them. I actually bought the $79 set that had additional parts for shelves on the work bench. I wanted those parts to make a...
Depends on what extrusions and screws you choose. Take those lengths and subtract the width of the gantry plates and anything else that will...
Many people use a belt driven Ox and cut aluminum. I reliably cut aluminum with my non Cbeam frame which is similar to the Ox but lead screw...
Are you trying to calibrate it as in making it so it will cut exactly 100 mm when you tell it to? If so, you will need a ruler, calculator, and a...
Limit switches...why limit yourself. Be free.
My build (not a workbee) is 1500mm long by about 850mm wide. My torsion box is slightly longer than 1500 mm and the machine sits almost flush to...
