@GrayUK Thanks. I just updated with todays progress. The table/shelf base structure is complete. I'm at last starting to put together the actual...
Jonathon Duerig published a new build: A build in progress of a C-Beam router made almost entirely of standard parts. Electronics include an...
That looks great. What is the blue material that your table is surfaced with? Is that your spoil board or will the spoil board be attached on top...
I'm making a build somewhat similar to the OX. Given my current design, I can easily put the X-Axis cross beam in three different places with...
I was toying with a similar idea for my current build. But I ended up discarding it as overkill since I will be cutting plastic exclusively. If I...
@anigeek65 If you are using two C-Beams anyhow, why not put them on either side of the spindle instead of back to back? As long as the spindle is...
This looks really great. I'm curious about one thing. The other day I was browsing the shop and saw the high torque motors and the reducing belt...
One example is how I built the gantry for my CNC glass grinder. I attached a single piece of extrusion to two different standard C-Beam gantry...
Browsing through the designs here and elsewhere (OX, shapeoko, CNC router parts, etc.) there seems to be a basic commonality to all of them: the...
Another possible solution might involve using L-brackets to attach T-Slot rails on top of the MIC6. Then you can use the MIC6 when you want...
@Barry Danks I think there is somebody else who made a similar build: Cut To Length Machine I think it will be sturdier using C-Beam like you...
@Ronald van Arkel I can never get that precise with a measuring tape and marking. I can maybe get within a few mm that way. And even then, it...
@Ronald van Arkel I'm always interested in trying to improve my techniques. The one I mentioned before seems to work out pretty good. But I am...
I've sometimes had length differences like that. Usually when I order them in multiple batches. The ones from one batch might be a bit different...
@GrayUK That is true. The cost of a horizontal band saw is way too high for somebody who just needs to make a couple of cuts. I make a lot of...
I hadn't realized that vacuum clamping required a large surface area to be effective. So I suppose that pretty much scrubs this idea. I might play...
One alternative that I hadn't seen mentioned yet is a horizontal band saw. Advantages: - Less violent - Quieter - Aluminum swarf lands in a...
So I've been thinking about clamping a CNC machine. The nicest way to clamp is with vacuum tables and these are very expensive with elaborate ways...
My personal strategy for tapping extrusion usually involves designing a way to avoid it entirely. The very first extrusion build I did was a kit...
@Balu, I have only ever used the cast corner brackets in a situation where 8mm screws work for both ends because you have a corner like the one...
