Perhaps I will model the assembly in my spare time...I’m trying to plan for the linear rails in my head. To me it seems if the design incorporated...
By chance are you going to have a CAD model of the assembly sometime soon? Years ago I worked on a design for a part transfer system using linear...
i use a Renishaw Probe on my 5 axis machine to establish work offsets. The tool probe actually touches off on the tool to measure its diameter and...
The wheel kits I used were OpenBuilds wheels. Both sizes of wheels had two spacers that measured 1.01 to 1.03 mm when I used my Mitutoyo digital...
NO I did not forget to install the shims..one between the bearings inside the wheel and the one that gets installed between the eccentric spacer...
So I started building my Sphinx C-Beam Machine last night. And the first plate I assembled was a Y-axis plate. I found that I had to adjust how...
As far as the tap guide goes...thank you. So considering that I'm new at building stuff with the OpenBuilds components it took me some time to...
It depends...if you are taking small DOC and small stepovers it helps to heat up up the carbide....but that is only if you are not cutting for...
That was a pretty good cut you made there. Good proof that the spindle is strong and able to handle heavy duty cuts...but do not do that all the...
I'll send you a PM with my contact info...thank you
I do not...so it was probably your tap guide I saw and liked..would you be willing to make one for me for a reasonable dollar amount? I noticed...
Just out of curiosity can you tell me the approximate dimensions of the VFD? I'm trying to get some ideas for an exclosure for the electronics. I...
Golly that looks nice! (I really tried to use the word 'd**n' but was censored). I just got all my stuff from OpenBuilds and Blue OX plus the...
I’m not going much wider than what I have. I think 7 80mm wise rails would be good.
OK...am i right in guessing the X-axis distance is limited roughly by the distance from the gantry plate edge to edge distance..or maybe a little...
Yep..I understand why. How big is the work area on your machine? I’m thinking I may build my machine to cover the same footprint as yours for...
No problem. I got the idea in my head that it was prepped on one end from what i thought i saw in the YouTube build videos. what are your thoughts...
Hmmm... If I had known I would have made my x-axis a little longer. I thought the 500 mm lead screw was already prepped on the one end. That...
I got my order from Open Build and started by unpacking the loooong box. The one with the extruded aluminum rails and i suddenly realized i did...
How about building a linear actuator that converts linear motion into rotary motion and setting it up on the dining room table do you can pass the...
