Oops, mixed up the responses. After som troubleshooting a figured out that I had backlash in both x and z. No good. I also ran it to aggressively...
It is a Bosch bit but I think that any 3/4 carbide bit should work as long as you’re taking a shallow pass. And indeed, the z axis needed...
Looks like a well built machine! hadn't heard of the Acorn. What made you choose Acorn over GRBL/CNC-shield?
Ok, Thanks for the info. My idea is to use 2 mounts. Each held by 2 m5s from the front. Especially with tramming in mind. It feels like I would...
I'm considering milling new router mounts. Right now I'm considering if I should go with 1/2" or 3/8". Did you use 3/8" or 1/2"stock? Do you find...
My guess is that the 0.2 will be bookkept in the controller. So next time it will only need 0.8 steps to take one step (or .3 if you take rounding...
With a background in Software engineering I'm new to the world of CNC's but very excited to join the fray. I'll attempt to build a Sphinx/Sphinx...
I was thinking of routing them through the waste board and then add some larger holes where I could fit through screw heads or head+washer. It's...
Mounting them was a chore and they tend to fall out. Next version I might simply route slots in the wasteboard and use them like a poor mans...
I thought that with Grbl it was just a simple matter of configuration for no vs nc. Shame about the taps!
$25. Not cheap but not outrageous either.
I was thinking you could attach some shields at the inside of Y. I.e. some plate that almost touch the gantry. It perfect but at least the chips...
It looks like y would be reasonably easy to shield from the bulk of the chips since your gantry is tall. X and z look more challenging. I...
Are you concerned about chips getting onto the rails and into the bearing blocks?
Did you simply slot them? One idea would be to do an adaptive clearing with a trochoidal tool path that is 3/8 or 1/2 inch (for 1 1/4" endmill)....
Are those .5” plates?
I think it’s a good idea to go NC. What flavors of Arduino does Grbl support? Having something with a bigger serial buffer and a bit more...
You can look at Maslow cnc for inspiration. Home
Did you cut the mounts as well?
Ok, so, please help me think this through correctly. One benefit is that you can let the "rail side" move below the X-beam. This would at the...
