Contact sgspenceley here on the forum, I believe he has a complete never used Ox he's looking to sell.. Gerald
Not sure if you found a suitable motor or not yet but I came across these brushless DC motors and wasn't sure if you knew about them. They look...
Hey Steve, what kind of collet and nut are on that router in the last photo?? Gerald
I personally haven't but a lot of guys over on Joe's CNC forums have, no one has anything bad to say about them. If I decided to stay with a...
I think that's actually part of the problem, the rpm these routers turn. With common routers it's difficult if not impossible to get your rpms...
What are the feeds and speeds your using to cut say 6061 with the 2 flute? I have a few high helix 1/4" end mills designed for milling aluminum...
I have the same issue, my bed is 3/4 ply with 2 layers of MDF on top. I just add another piece of MDF larger than the piece i'm cutting, it soaks...
Thanks Steve !! I could tell a difference just surfacing the spoilboard, the bit sounded like it was cutting smoother with less chatter. I'll be...

Oh I see, Aspire handles it a bit differently where the text and relief image become one component, I would rough it out with a .25 ballnose and...
I might just have to take another look at ArtCAM !! Very nice work !! Looks like your using a raster toolpath, if you change it to offset...
I actually created those files, I used Vectric Aspire to convert them from metric to fractional and checked them in AutoCAD. Not sure what the...
Great to know it's not a mechanical issue, just a software problem, those are usually easier to fix. Looks great, what bit did you use? :) I'll...
That's spot on Steve. I would definitely use the 1/2 x 1/2 20 pitch 20 pressure rack in that situation, just drill and tap the rack every 6-8...
Not having the CV set right usually causes rounded outside corners instead of being sharp. CV Dist Tolerance tells Mach how far away from the...
I think Flo is talking about the NSK or HiWin type of linear rails. They have the square rails with pre-loaded cars. If the space is no more...
