I upgraded my CNC to a spindle so i'm selling off my DeWalt 611 router, a set of Precision collets in 1/8 and 1/4 with a talon spanner wrench,...
It's a bit hard holding down and cutting that thin material. It would be much easier to change to thin steel and plasma or laser cut them, still...
I understand the costs for material and machine time, but seriously over a $1000 to cut one. I'm all ears for different options, I have heard from...
Peter Has anyone explored what the shipping would be from the shop you use to here in the states? It seems even if the shipping were say $150.00...
Yes, the 14.5 is 1/4" x 1/4" and the pre-drilled holes are useless, tiny tiny holes... To use it you'll have to either use clamps to hold it in...
12/07/2014 This build with the exception of the vacuum table is pretty much complete, to continue following along with the upgrades and...
Ah.... nope I just swapped out the X motor, working great so far. I changed out the thrust bearing because they were really noisy when doing 3D...
I see what you mean on the phenolic, I think as long as reasonable feed, speeds, DOC are set, the phenolic plates will work fine for most people....
Figured since I have a bunch of extra parts left over from my last 2 builds I might try to do a Micro Ox just for kicks. I'll make the machine 2'...
Hytech2k published a new build: Micro Ox Build Read more about this build...
UPDATE 3/14/2015 So we've been using the machine hard for about a week now with the new motor on the X installed and it works perfectly. I would...
I generally use Moore or CNC router parts for my rack needs, but here are a few others that carry them....
Wow !! I'm here in the states, looks like I need a waterjet and lasercutter then charge half of what these folks want. I'd be covered up in...
Great, I hope your going to post your build here, i'd really like to follow it....
That link you provided is very interesting. I like the concept of the gear rack doing double duty as a linear rail. Especially the 90 degree...
Not quite following. I think phenolic plates are an affordable alternative to 6061 for non commercial hobby cnc's and they would be good enough to...
I use Vectric Aspire, great program just expensive. But for what your asking, CUT3D would work just as well..
Great build Peter!! Now if we can just find a laser cutting shop in the states that doesn't want an arm and a leg that will be great !! Keep up...
That's a great question. The answer is yes it can, but not quite as fast or with heavy DOC's. If you look closely at the video I posted of it...
I second Steve's recommendations. The stock Ox has alot of shortcomings both when you try and scale up as well as cutting heavier materials. Don't...
