@Teflon4 I think what I have is Polycarbonate, doesn't cut worth a crap even with a new 2 flute carbide bit a bought today from a local jobber,...
Yes, sorry my speeds were 100mm/minute not seconds, sorry brain fart. 100mm/seconds would cause havoc on my machine. :banghead: I'll try...
Hey guys, can anyone tell me what is the best clear plastic for milling on a CNC? Acrylic or Plexiglass or something else? I'm designing a dust...
Correct, on the previous page Snokid posted a link to instructions. I have not done it yet, instead I just disabled the hard limits for now. In...
@Rob Mitchell you have them wired just fine based on your diagram, and pin orientation on a normally open switch wont matter on these controllers....
@GerritV I'll test it tomorrow on my Win 10 machine and let you know if anything odd shows up on the COM name.
Yep, sounds like I may just disable hard limits and just use the switches for homing... Thanks for posting that link.
Correct, I have wired the switches as NO. Currently not running any pull up resistors, switches are directly wired. Any recommendation on...
Anyone experience false hard limit alarms before? Seems to be when I am vacuuming saw dust up if I touch the machine frame it gets a jolt of...

The parts list calls for 500mm x 750mm which is ~19.7" x 29.5" which is smaller than 2' x 4'. I'm no structural engineer, but I would think the...
I can remove the top 2 sheets as needed for different thicknesses of material. At least that was the thought, I can always change it if I need to...
Looks like a great build. :thumbsup:
azarock published a new build: Square shaped OX for doing general purpose engraving and cutting into wood, acrylic, and aluminum. Read more...
That is a slick idea right there... I just used my chop saw with a 40 tooth carbide tip blade and lubed the blade and vslot with wd40 between cuts.
Here's my initial mock-up. Based on Mark C's design, but all black and 1000mm x 1000mm with a few tweaks. Just the right size for what I'm...
