I believe the cutting area is 54"x54". I could be wrong on exactly what it is, but it's over 48". All the parts and and if necessary replacements can be bought from cncrouterparts.com

Redsail 1300mm x 900mm cutting area. Brand new 80 watt c02 laser tube (I just installed it today). Comes with the water chiller, fan, and air pump. It's a 220v machine. I used it for 3 years...

I need some help, perhaps selecting a router bit or routing method. I've been manually drilling these hole, but it's getting tedious. I setup a table to hold about 4 dozen balls.

I thought I...

I have a lot of surface area to cover; i'm not super worried about the looks of the sides. I was previously using a router without any kind of finishing.

A few questions.

Hobby CNC Router 25"x25"

This is a DIY Solsylva 25"x25" cutting area machine. Comes with Porter cable router, Power supply, xylotex motors, and controller.

You will need a computer, and...

Interesting, I'll have to try that. It would make sense, because my tooling path was really Y rapid heavy. So they Y was getting a lot of work. I will add fans to the driver.


No screen...

I went over the machine yesterday and found the Z-axis losing steps going up. I could actually repeat this unlike the Y.

Sounded fine going up until it lost steps, sounded horrible going down...

The machine has been working with no issues for a long time, however yesterday and today i've had three huge errors. Ruined my vacuum table too.


Its working fine with no issues, rapids fine...

I'm building a vacuum table specifically for small parts. This table will be used for nothing but these parts. 32"x48". I'm trying to get as many shapes as possible out of the material.

I'm...

Z-touch plate code from CNCrouterparts.


This is copied right off their website. I'm getting a syntax error on the 2nd period of the first line. Which makes no sense to me, random syntax...

So I installed a touchplate which recommends using the mach blue screen.


Pretty simple inputs, touch the wire to the plate; green light on the probe setting comes on like it should. The...

Looks as though the machine is missing steps somewhere. When I cut out one of the shapes, it's supposed to return to it's exact same spot as the initial plunge point.

Seems to be off 1/16th or so....

They are, I'll send you my files, tomorrow. The .cb is on my other computer.


I appreciate the help.

Never setup my CV settings (kinda new to this).

I do think it has something to do with my Mach 3 settings, the Y axis is actually reversing before the X axis starts. So I think the Y axis...

Don, I tried your suggestions.

Raised the cutting surface, I added another clamp to the router. It is definitely much stiffer when you push on it, so that's a good thing.

Unfortunately didn't...

Thanks, I'll give it a try moving the stock up, maybe add another clamp to the router as well.

I'm using shaft collars, and threaded couplers. I initially thought that could be the problem but I checked the play and didnt seem like there was any.

I built a solsylva 25x25 machine. I used autocad/cambam/mach3.

I'm having some trouble when i'm cutting out these shapes it travels or starts to early. It's not always consistent either.

The pieces will be cut out of a sheet. So i just have to hold the sheet. The lip needed is on the inside of the sheet.

I realize i need two passes haha, but i mean one pass for the lip and one...

I have a solsylva machine I just finished building. My goal is to cut shapes out of the 3/8" or 1/2" plywood, say 2"x4" area. However I need to leave a lip around the whole way around the outside. ...

Thanks thats helpful.

Alright my solsyva isn't completed yet, but i've had some time to play around with cad/cambam.

I've yet to interface to mach3 or anything of the sort.



So I've imported a small dxf into...
