And now they're backordered. Figures.
I've looked at those drivers before and while they look good, most of the steppers I use are in the 5amp + range. That said, the design and...
Great! If you can swing it, I might suggest...
If you are building the standard size Ox, with belts no problem. However, if you are changing the design much, you might tell us how you are...
It is said that "there's nothing truly new under the heavens" because mostly folks just rehash known science in a effort to "publish or perish"....
Paul - Like Wow! I think you should change you name to Doc. microstep! Great education in those pages. Thanks Larry
I have considered doing that, but with my x axis only being 36" wide the 90mmx90mm series 15 extrusions are VERY rigid. Here's a view on the two...
I started with a Shapeoko hardware kit a little more than 6 months ago and decided that I'd expand the kit to 3"x4" (x,y) and because I didn't...
Very nice for cutting PCB's and such. And the laser below is a nice touch too. Which freeburn is that? I've got to add a laser to my shop but I'm...
Super nice job Michael! I'm finally the point with my bot where I can cut things and not spend more time cleaning them up than cutting them. :) I...
I really understand. Keep in mind that you can build a pretty good printer for around $300, depending on how fancy or basic you want it to be and...
FWIW, Forget buying a printer from some manufacturer. You have at your fingertips the worlds total knowledge about building a 3d printer along...
Wow! that really gives the whole kickstarter idea a black eye. I sure wouldn't advise anyone buying into a company or idea they don't know...

The problem with sliding compound miter saws is exactly precision, just as Serge quotes from the video. the more movements a saw has, the more...
Years ago Bosch made a tool called the "Fine Cut Saw". My neighbor owns one. They are very much like a reciprocating saw with a very fine tooth,...
If you decide on the miter saw idea apart from finding saws that will mechanically give you the repeatability you need, you need to get the right...
If I couldn't build that first saw for less than $5k, using much better parts, I'd eat the thing. $16k is such a total rip off!
As much as I'm all for building any machine within our abilities, for framing there's nothing more functional and durable (within the precision...
I'm intrigued by the concept, since I'm involved with a woodworkers supply store that also supplies a lot of millwork. So if you don't mind, I'd...
