My first attempt at building a CNC. I chose the Sphinx due to ease of build and extensive documentation provided by Kyo.

1000mm x 750mm C-beam Sphinx CNC. 1075

    Thanks. I will get a very good square and tram the axes.

    At least you have a nice square spindle to line up with. What size spindle are you using?

    I couldn't see from your photo which way you were running your Spindle, when leveling.
    1.5KW spindles are really quite heavy and it worries me that you might be getting twist on the X azis.

    I was running pocketing along the X axis. That is what is worrying me too. I have put it up for sale. I will be downgrading to a 800W water cooled one.

    I have made some adjustment to my spindle. I will test the tomorrow and report back.

    The Z and X are not perpendicular. I used some shims on the lower part of the spindle. However, it seems there are a bit bigger than need. I will try different shims and test again. The difference in heights between the layers are reduced drastically.

    I used one of my feeler gauge to adjust the spindle and tested it on another MDF. Results were much better this time.
