Is the problem consistency? Does it return to the same height every time? If not you have a motor connection issue or your anti-backlash nut is...
It took 3mm to get the high spots out? wow that's some major issues with levelness or you need more support (sag). Visible lines are unavoidable,...
Hi Rink, on the Y it's just the Y plates you have to subtract from the travel, but on the x its the X carriage and the Y Rails on both sides. The...
Hi SupaCraig, Sounds like you need to calibrate your steps/mm. Post your GRBL values here so we can take a look. Cheers Gary
The dewalt is good, but the makita RT0701 is the same diameter as the RoutER11, and is cheaper than the dewalt.. But the collet is better on...
Always want to ramp into aluminum. Speeds and feeds charts for commercial machines will not be achievable with our flexy hobby machines. Need to...
15's, 12's are to fragile, but I don't understand the recent trend to double up on linear rails? Cheap ones which are very tight typically cause...
Bryan, my Ox is custom plates, HD Ox 1500x1000. Can see my build on my page, since the build I switched to a Blackbox. I had a lot of experience...
STL on ESTLcam works well, can try it for free. Cheers Gary
4=1 worked for the v4 at least
I had something like this happen where it was a broken z motor wire. Cheers Gary

I've had good results with straight flute bits, sharp is key, and don't cut too much in one go, or chatter will happen. Keep to about 1x of bit...
Only way I know of to use ER standard collets is to buy a spindle or the router11 from Openbuilds
I've found the factory collets often need a debur.. some 400grit takes care of that. The "dewalt precision collet" set it a good add on. Gary
So you never went to Plaid?, good move! Gary
Work on getting everything square for sure.. Make sure nothing is binding or wheels too tight against the rails, should be able to slip the...
Are all the axis the same type of screw? the x isn't setup correct for 8mm lead screw like Y and z is. should be 200steps per mm like the rest.....
Should be able to do 1200mm/min and 60% step over but every machine is different.. I guess it doesn't matter that much as it's not something you...
