There are a number of discussions on the subject of hold downs throughout the forum. One such discussion can be found starting here.
Plywood shouldn't be a problem but viability comes down to size of the system and the spindle, how the plywood is integrated, and what you intend...
4.2mm would generally be indicative of an M5 tapped hole. [IMG] (photo credit: Kyo)
Like the new caps too. :thumbsup:
Just engraving steel or actually machining it?
Can't say if that's the exact number but the screws reportedly run slightly longer than a true 8mm per turn so that should be pretty close....
You might take a look at the C-beam Sphinx. It probably suits your parameters the best. As far as spindles, a common trim router will do what you...
The lengths you seek can be found under the parts list tab.
Best suggestion would be to peruse the builds on this part of the forum and figure out which suits your fancy the most. Then sketch up where...
That's ideally how the dual belt works on the ox (assuming the builder springs for the extra belt). The only critical issue here is gap beneath...
You can pretty much use all of the parts, that's the beauty of OpenBuilds parts. You will probably want to swap out the belts and pulleys for GT2...
Rather than just free-handing this you might want to do a bit of research first. The problem with the router-on-a-stick type concept is that it...
Any details on the added lighting?
Look again at 11 and 12...
Yes, that design is for a router system. Obviously you won't need the platform or the center supports. You can probably also drop the Y gantry...
Unfortunately steel can't be extruded like aluminum. To do this in steel would require something custom ground which would quickly get cost...
The framing system on this build may be a little more appropriate to where you are going. You really shouldn't need much more than three C-beam...
Aside from a power surge or back flow from the steppers being moved by hand it's not likely the problem occurred while the system was turned off....
Then you should get with them regarding resolution of the problem. Sometimes you can achieve acceptable results by slightly drilling...
Yes, the gantry should move freely without belts and motors attached. You note that eccentrics are at their widest, so there may be a problem with...
