@Sonny Lowe @Mark Carew Is there any reason that I could not add another spacer Cbeam to increase the throat depth by 40mm? Or would it cantilever...
Well done for a first time builder. I am sure you learned a lot in the build process. Kudos!
OK, parts have arrived, time to start assembling the little monster!
You can also have a look at LaserWeb/CNCWeb. It is open source and has quickly matured into a powerful, easy to use/learn software package. It can...
After some advice from @Rick 2.0 I have settled on a build area of 6" X 10" . This will let me cut almost everything that I had envisioned the...
Thanks for the info Rick.I will be happy with a 6" X 10" work area, it will do 95% of the stuff I had envisioned for it.
I was hoping to have a 10" X 10" work area. Is this going too big for this design, and if so, what would the largest feasible build area be?
Have all the parts on order. Can't wait to get this bad boy together. I will be running a 1.5kw watercooled spindle on this one. I am also going...
Anthony Bolgar published a new build: The new MiniMill from Mark and Sonny is a great little machine. Read more about this build...
Thanks Mary!
I could not resist this build, with all the parts I have been slowly aquiring, all I needed to do was order about $208 in parts, and I have...
Never got a code on my birthday May 29th Is there any way of getting it to redisplay? @MaryD
This is also a good spindle choice, I have one on one of my machines. ER16 Chuck DC 110V 600W Air-Cooled Spindle Motor With Speed Governor And...
The 60mm is the two sides of the cbeam, 100mm is the distance across the wide flat.
How hard would it be to add something like the C-beam to the product line, but in a size of 100mm X 60mm ? The strength and stiffness increase...
A diode lase will not cut the plywoods . It will cut the balsa with multiple passes. Your best option is to build or buy a 40W - 60W CO2 laser,...
Nice build Mark and Sonny. I just might have to build one :)
I like the idea of using high quality components. From your pictures I can see you have put some real care into this build. You should be...
Nicely done.
Personally I lean towards the smoothieboard. The learning curve is no worse than any other controller, in fact all you do is edit a text file for...
