  7. Re: How to adjust spindle height for non-cylindrical spindle?

    I am not sure what the issue is, I never adjust the height of my spindle on my cnc router, that is what the z-axis is for. Could you explain why you are wanting to adjust the height?

    Re: Standard Router Bits for CNC

    Yes they can be used. You will probably have to custom program a "form" tool in the cam program you are going to use.

  16. Re: Thinking about designing a 5 axis machine, what about an AB head?

    A is X axis rotation B is Y axis rotation. That would require a double jointed head.

    Mean while A C or B C means you can rotate around the Z-axis and then tilt in any other axis.

    Re: Questions for Avid CNC Benchtop Pro owners

    not a desktop pro owner, but that sounds like it is in the tolerance of the aluminum extrusion.
