The bearings and shims should all work if you choose to just replace the polycarbonate. I bought some in the 2016 time frame and have used the...
I plan to do this with my CO2 laser as well. Originally I thought a 4DPDT switch with a locking mechanism on the gantry, but if I am...
Epoxy resin will do the same. I am most familiar with the resins for boat building, but casting resins would work as well. I would not use 5...
If your spoilboard is larger than your cutting area, there will be edges that are not reached. I intentionally do this on the Y axis so I always...
Where did you get stuck on the Hello World file? Did you do each step along with the video? As for surfacing your spoilboard, did you try to do...
I wouldn't think you would be giving up much of anything. I do not know which Millwright machine you have, but the ones I just looked at to help...
This is amazing! I can't imagine the amount of planning that had to go into it.

You can do it, but there is a chance it may cause issues. I don't, but I am paranoid about EMI. Mine hangs from the ceiling above the CNC machine....
You should not run the high voltage in the drag chain with the low voltage. It can create electromagnetic interference hat can cause issues. A...
You must choose either the X or Y axis to run it along. If you run it parallel with the X axis, you will need to disconnect the Y stepper motors....
I did some more testing last night with the rotary on clear glass bottles. I discovered Laguinita's Hopwater (a delicious alcohol, sugar, and...
Also, use the entire length of your axis as your measurement if possible. In other words, put a tape measure (or meter stick) down and measure...
The LEAD high z mod is what i based my CNC lathe on. It is a very versatile kit.
Good info. That is why I invested in a quality pair of laser glasses. I have a healthy fear of even the reflected light. I still have a 12" X 12"...
I also "tested" the TAP Plastics fluorescent orange acrylic scrap I had with the diode laser. It definitely did not pass through when I moved it...
So I got around to making my focusing gauge. I cut it out of acrylic with my CO2 laser. I love cutting acrylic with that because it is fast and...
Your easiest bet to get started - if the y gantry plates have holes based on 20 mm spacing- would be to buy the 1000 mm C-Beam® XLarge Linear...
Also check to be sure all your flexible shaft couplings from the motor to the screw are not loose.
There are only 3 axis so I use the Y axis as my rotary axis. It made the most sense to me for this build since it rotates toward and away from...
