Keith, I don't think it's a good idea to remove the limit switches. On my machine I have 6 of them. One on each end of the three axie! I don't use...
If I remember correctly David the swarfer once said, here in this forum, that heating oil (or diesel fuel) are good lubricant for cutting aluminum.
I think that the reason you don't use graphite, besides being abrasive is that it's powder and doesn't lend itself to cover and stay on a screw...
Daid, listen to Craig! He has experience and knows what he's saying! CALIBRATE your axie!!! Search how to calibrate a CNC and you may find that...
That thing must weigh a ton, literally! :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: Looks good, though! :thumbsup:

You could do as Rick suggested, lowering the y axis, or you could leave the two upright plates as long as they are but add a strip of 3" (or there...
I have an ATX power supply. I had it running my 3d printer (except for the heated bed) and it run flawlessly. I put some LED lights in my kitchen...
I don't like to use the set screws that come with these pulleys. I replace them with 3m socket screws. These screws use a bigger Alan key and are...
Gary, search YouTube for 'mostly printed CNC'. :)
