That sounds interesting. I think I know what you mean, but are you able to elaborate on your process?
Very nice discussion. Thanks for all of the input. I like the table saw idea, and I may try it depending upon the capabilities of my table saw....
I'm in the initial build stages of the C-beam XL, and am squaring the extrusions. To make one, just one, totally square took at least a couple...
Ok, thanks =)
I'm ordered the Makita router, and now I'll be ordering the Elaire Corp collet. What size(s) would be good?
Excellent, thanks
Thank you for the detailed reply. It is very helpful, and I like the idea of a shield as it will help make the wiring much easier. Sorry if this...
I did see that, but I'm not sure how to proceed since there were only two schematics for wiring, but the machine will use four motors. Also, I'm...
I'm using four of the DQ542MA drivers, four NEMA 24 stepper motors, and a 24V power supply, all from the OpenBuilds parts store. I have the C-beam...
@Kyo I saw your wiring diagram and videos on the first page of this post, but I'm still not clear on what to do and how these things work. Are you...
I imagine that would work just fine. Once I'm up and running I'll be doing something similar.
I was thinking that I could shim the Makita in the openbuilds mount, then cut one for a permanent solution.
I saw this guy's video on YouTube recently. Have a look and see what you think... [MEDIA]
Thanks! The Makita definitely seems up to the task. The final product is clean, and it appeared to have been done in a reasonable amount of time....
That's an interesting link. The inability of the Bosch Colt router to run at low speeds got me thinking that I may not want it, the TIR tests...
I think that the lower speed would be helpful with aluminum. I am not sure that I want to go with the Bosch router recommended for the XL bundle...
Wow! That is really cool!!
That sounds really cool. I'd love to see pics of the puzzle if you have time. =) How did the router do with aluminum?
What spindle/router are you guys using for your CNC routers? How do they work with various materials? What kind of results are you getting?
I'm happy to report that I have a C-Beam XL kit with motors on the way, along with four of the DQ542MA drivers and the 24V power supply =) Next,...
