See this thread also; Blackbox vs Duet Wifi for Lead CNC There wasn't an enormous response - apart from anything else the Duet has only recently...
I haven't been that brave yet - the table is for a 1/4" cutter. I usually use a 1/8" or 3mm cutter and my maximum depth of cut is about 3mm, so I...
Depends what you are cutting - I found that cutting mdf or chipboard branded bits don't last significantly longer than cheaper ones - as soon as...
You said when you move 1000mm it is accurate, but if you go back 1000mm does it go back to exactly the same place? - try that for both X and Y. Alex.
PS if you want bits in a hurry I suggest setting the filter on ebay to location/UK only - they can take weeks to come from China. If you are...
Well.... They would be, but they have a 6mm shank and you have a 1/4" router collet. Alex :):)
It is worth looking on thingiverse for a pen holder. Alex.

It would seem that you are almost there - Ooznest only claim +/- 0.2mm for the belt drive. Also, because of the side forces on the bit and the...
Good luck with that @Benjamin Vg, let me know how you get on. Alex. :thumbsup:
I'm busy tonight and most of tomorrow @Benjamin Vg, but if you want me to help calibrate your Duet post a message on here and I'll get back to you...

PS - I believe that there is a second G53 line at the end of the file, it might be a good idea to delete that too. Alex.
Hi @Gina Botfield, I believe you can get a genuine Dewalt collet adapter, but they will be expensive. If you search Ebay for collet adapter you...
Sorry @Matt Thorniley, we have helped to confuse you by steering you to @sharmstr's post processor, which puts that G53 line in. We didn't think...
Peter is spot on @Matt Thorniley, unlike your machine co-ordinates (sorry :rolleyes:) grbl will set your machine co-ordinates zero wherever you...
Hi @Matt Thorniley, do you have limit switches on your machine? Do you home all axes when you switch the machine on? Alex.
Hi @Benjamin Vg. Have you ever calibrated your machine? If not, get the tool with the smallest tip (a very pointy engraving bit is ideal). On one...
Thanks Matt - we were obviously both posting at the same time. @sharmstr knows a lot more about this than I do, but I'll have another look at your...
Hi Matt, @sharmstr and I have both asked this but you haven't answered - what does your readout say the Z position is when the bit plunges...
