You could use the OB 2 hole joiner plates to tie in the 20x20, but you would need a lot of them. This would involve 3 or 4 times as many screws,...
It's not really going to give you much more stiffness orienting them vertically, IMHO. If I was doing this again, I would still put the single...
Hi Sonny: I'm trying out the latest 1.1 code revision. I wanted to change the homing default to the front right on my machine. I recompiled the...
Don't get me wrong, they are really cool, and If I had an unlimited budget they'd be at the top of the list. They would certainly make machining...
Still, cheap is relative. When the motors cost more than the rest of the machine put together, that's a big hit. It's a long stretch from a $20...
Yeah, I couldn't find it either. This has been bugging me for months
Gray, you could easily use one of those flexible blower nozzles aimed in the back to make sure everything goes toward the front vacuum pickup. I...
Gray: I have a vacuum port on the ceiling above my workbench. I have a household built in vacuum system plumbed all over my shop with hard 2"...
Yeah, I forgot to put that in the tutorial. Just about any diode will work. A 1N400X, where x=1-7, is about the most common. This is just a...
No, nothing specific. The Chinese bits are likely all made by a few manufacturers, and I haven't found any to be total crap. I don't use...
Hi Stephan: You can simply move your machine to your desired zero point and set G28 to this point. This will give you a zero point to return to....
Your homing feed should be set to something like 200 instead of 25. This is the cause of the choppy movement. At very low speeds the number of...
Hey All: This topic was brought up in the Big Ox Heavy Duty thread, and a few people asked about wiring using the small proximity switches for...
Since the moderators seem to be all sleeping off their turkey, I will create a new thread in Forums/Electronics/General Electronics called...
I found a great little resource which covers a lot of CNC machining questions regarding Bits and Applications. It's done by Onsrud who is a major...
I get a lot of my bits from China through eBay or Amazon. They are incredibly cheap, not bad quality, and did I mention they are incredibly...
No problem. Perhaps the moderators would see fit to move this to a new thread, as it would be good information for a topic all its own. I'm kind...
I'm not sure I would want to blow that dust all over the shop. As I said it is pretty fine and would not be good to breathe.
Hence the name.:)
Just a few more tips/observations after using this for a while: Wear a dust mask! This thing generates a ton of fine aluminum dust, which I...
