Hello...
I need to fit wooden board to fit shape of object. The object can be around 3m in diameter. Making template is just to tedious. So I just wonder if I can use pantograph...
And one more question. The tapper (green on drawing) seems to be made of two parts. Is this only drawing artefact or is inded 2 parts. Does small green part move inside bigger one or is fiksed?
What's the size of balls?
So the balls can move les than 1/2 of diameter. Probably only the 1/3 of diameter. What size they are? And the locking nut on photo seems to be some kind of plastic. So you use that and have no...
Uff I just look the Join date of last poster (mactec54) instead posting date.
I'm interested on that one, but I has in doubt that lock nut can get lose by vibrations.
And how you prevent balls...
Hello...
after 10 years... Does anyone make that ATC?
Slavko.
I already discard JGRO as pipe isn't supported. I know that even in small machine this is problematic. But didn't realize that Joes is mean't to be CNCed. I do little recheck on plans and realize...
I agree that this machine is pretty small. About precission? Well if it cut circle with 100mm diameter and come out 101mm really isn't high problem, but the next one should came out in same dimension...
...I forget to say that optimum worksize is 30cm by 40cm by 10cm. And need to be as precisse as possible... (we all want that)
Hello....
I looking for plan as my friend want to make CNC.
I look to JGRO design and seems to be little flimsy, but have nice plan, the other is Joes CNC and seems to be strudier with less...
Hello...
My friend wan't to make own CNC. I search for plans for them and found that Joes machine can be nice one, but didn't find the plans. I find the epub models to be viewed onscreen, but no...
Where are that $600 package???
I found price just for madCAM and its near $2500. But need the rhino too.
Even $3000 is good but as I see this price is for 3 axis and not 5.
Few days ago I downloaded demo of BobCad and few hours later I got phone call from them :o
.. and mail with price list....
It's still expensive for me but at least not too expensive.
When...
Hello...
I'm slowly approaching to the end of 5 axis build. It's a big machine for cutting foam and wood to be used as positive for mold's. As I don't have any 3D CAM I look for suggestions what...
Thanks...
I got similar result in totaly other way. I was just estimating required motor power to decide if it's doable with stepper. (or servo is required). But I got too smal numbers so I was...
Hello...
I need to calculate required motor power to accelerate gantry. Does someone have correct formula?
For example.
Gantry weight is 100 kg
I want it to accelerate to 5000mm/min
And this...
Hello....
Long time ago I ask what cad/cam to use.
Is there maybe better (and probably free) software that I use?
for 2D I use TurbocadLE and for 3D modeling sketchup.
For 2D I'm happy with...
Can you upload some photo on Z details?
I do not have BOM
But can be obtained from schematic.
The problem is that board as is doesn't work. I think that 4 wires are incorrect and I changed that in my board and doesn't draw...
I think I to try with

with brass roller.
In one word perfect.
But lead nut (plastic) show little wear.
Hello...
This is question for moderators of forum.
Is it possible to change this thread name from 100% overhaul to 100 percent overhaul as % sign in thread name cause problems in this forum....
... and to have Webcam mounted as optical centering device.
It's hard to see but can be aligned to have axis center in death center of cam. The backside is from 3 part!
1. Part is glued to router...
In mean time this machine got poor man aluminum T slot table. Bellows still not finished all but machine is in good working condition.
Hello...
While searching the web I found that Vectric has free VCarve Wizard released in 2005. As I looking for something simple I just wan't to try that. The problem is that I can't find it. Just...
Try ViaCAD before you buy SketchUp. It's more CAD like.
Well if you point to the TurboCad Deluxe then you have not 3d modeling.
For home hobby usage You can use DoubleCad XT (free). If you want to go 3D then you can get ProgeCad 2009 Smart and have...

love free software....:rainfro:
Ahh... I just read too fast.
But still. To dampen resonance just put dry sand inside. It's work well and if you decide to get rid of it just shake sand out.
:idea:
Iron/Steell has near same shrinkage coeficient and works. But Alu is out of range. For dampening resonence just fill tube with dry sand.
