I had thought of that and even designed the plates for it. In the end I chose the easier method. I can rest it on 1-2-3 blocks on the rails which...
That does not look normal. Are they grooved on both sides of the wheel or just one? The Router11 should not be too heavy at all. People have run...
Nothing is floating. It is like the LEAD High Z but with custom plates that hold the two X axis beams together on each end. The plates would be...
It should be. I think your idea of laying everything flat is better, but just substitute the front and rear pieces with 2040 instead of the 2080...
An adjustable laser (powered z axis) would be beneficial because you could focus the beam on your "poil board" then move the laser up the height...
Yes. I was going to suggest purchasing the C-beam gantry plates in the picture, but they are not set up to be used for a belt drive like you have.
Was this "5mm off" after you set you XYZ zero position on your work piece that day and then you had jogged somewhere?
You could always just not mount the X axis as high as it can go. Just mount it as high as you will need it. You will probably find you will not...
I noticed you said your holes are smaller than expected. Measure your endmill. If they are cheap Chinese endmills, they will not be 1/8" inch -...
Another option you could do is buy some 2080 V slot and add it to the top of your existing plates and rest the beam on top of those plates and...
If you are talking about the hex shaped plate with the logo, you do not need that. If. You are laying flat the front and rear 8020 pieces, you...
I have had the best luck cutting HDPE with an endmill with two straight flutes at 2500mm/min and cutting depth of 1/2 the diameter of the endmill....
Glad it worked out for you.
As Rob said you can cut aluminum dry. That is what I do. Every once in a while I may squirt some WD-40 into the slot to assist in cooling. To be...
If you lay it horizontally as low as it can go does it not rest flat on the table the Ox is on? If so, buy some 20x40 v slot extrusions to put on...
An option I would try, if there is room, is add two holes somewhere on the sprocket in your CAD software. Clamp down your piece, mill these holes...
Thanks. I really need to try this. I have just been cutting with slots, but it has been working for me.
Or use the Estlcam controller. It stops for tool changes and you can jog wherever you want to change it and re-zero. You do need to program your...
Estlcam can do this, but as you said you need a conductive surface. I use aluminum tape with an alligator clip clamped on. It works grade on...
If I read your upgrade right, all you did was increase the length of the Y axis, correct? If so, there is no significant weight increase that you...
