Honor to who deserves it! @hck, threaded rods will most likely improve the OX, especially if you would use anti backlash nuts. For me the double...
Well, now that's out of the way, I would like to repeat that the plates I got from Chris were of excellent quality with equal after sales service....
Coincidence or hand of the master? ;)
That would be another possible problem, Gray. But it wouldn't come out by using a dial indicator, since those give hardly enough counter pressure...
Did you start a build, KerryH? It might help if we know a bit more about your configuration to find out what is going on?
A belt driven system might always have a little bit of backlash from the start on, I guess. After all it is not a rack and pinion or ball screw...
Yep, Gerald. Excellent work all over. Have followed your progress with amazement. Wish you all the success you can have, you deserve it!:)
Well, there you have your backlash! The backlash will get gradually bigger and bigger over time, due to wearing of the parts of the machine. This...
@KerryH, the dual belt setup will decrease the amount of backlash simply because there is less stretch due to the shorter length of belt being...
Looks like backlash. Check if your software has a possibility to correct for that error. I had to correct my axis just a little bit to get them...
Hey Shauki, good to see you here! Was following your builds for a while on google and found your experiments (if one could call them...
Yep, guess you're right there. Got 2 nice logs of Teak, the nice stuff, not from a plantation but wild grown. Also for free, only had to cut them...
So we had some guys replacing one half of the roof of my workshop (it was leaking due to some crappy flashing tape we bought here in Thailand)....
Treat the MDF with a wax to prevent it from sucking up WD40 and the likes. I use liquid beeswax on all work surfaces. To prevent sliding use a bit...
I see what you're up to! That's not a bad idea at all. A bit like the brushy thingy that you put behind the opening of your mail box.;)
Yeah, what's the google name?
Are you going to put some pics on to show off this one? I'm interested to see how you ended up.
And then build the next one?
Oh well, learning curve I would say? But after this, you can dream the assembly and disassembly of an OX.;)
Thanks Gray!:) I hope to be able in the near future to get to some serious cutting with it. At the moment we have other priorities…… sigh.
