Shop Vacs create low pressure by moving high volumes of air but that low pressure is by no means the level of suction required for a vacuum table....
Have you done any research on the UC100?
I realized late last night that there is a flaw in my suggestion. The carrier rail will conflict with the bottom end plate on the Z-axis. You will...
I would suggest adding a second gantry plate to the axis and a carrier rail to bring the spindle down. The upper Z plate will reduce the leverage...
According to the drawings, the center of the lead screw should be 7.6mm back from the face of the C-beam but that's assuming they haven't fixed...
To get the best cutting results: 1. Cutting length of the bit should be only slightly greater than the thickness of the material being cut. 2. Bit...
Peter, Norton flagged that site and threw a wall up against it. Any idea why?
Motorized version needs to be attached to the gantry plates with a single run belt going end to end. [ATTACH] As for the S style belts, this is...
Not sure what constitutes a belt and pinion. Belt starts at one end, crosses over and around the motor pulley, then goes backward a few inches...
You can run as shown but it's not ideal. The full loop system you have shown will have significantly more stretch than a single run belt which...
Much better but you're still reaching down too much. I suggest taking a look at how the gantry on the OpenBuilds LEAD CNC Machine 1515 (60" x 60")...
You'll also need to bring the sides in. But let's start with the basic question, what sizes and thicknesses do you intend to cut?
Overall, I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Aluminum extrusions are nowhere near stiff enough to accommodate what you're...
The plastic slot covers may have been placed in the slots to prevent damage during shipping. They shouldn't be in any groove where wheels will be...
I haven't bought one in a couple years so I can't say off the top of my head. But according to the parts list yes, although you might want to...
No, it's not. You may have gotten the wrong eccentric spacers. They come in 6mm and 1/4". Look at the side of the eccentrics. You should have...
The actual usable area of the mini-mill is actually only 4.5"x4.5" so yes the extra 75mm of the Y-axis actuator that sticks out the front is...
1. Reduce your screws to 8mm. 10mm will bottom out in the channels. 2. Cast corner connectors should be fine. Strength is more than adequate and...
Read through the High Z Mod for Lead CNC. Within the first couple of pages you see how to reverse the axis beam to where the whole beam moves...
Several examples in Laser Cutter Builds | OpenBuilds. Note these are high end builds and they can be extremely dangerous. OpenBuilds assumes no...
