Hello everyone,

I have my CRP 4848 router completed and running but I'm looking for some suggestions on how you guys are doing your Spoil Boards. I currently have a 3/4" sheet of cabinet grade...

Hey Richard,

What MDF are you trying to seal? All the signs I've ever made that I stained were made of hard wood or plywood wood. I only use MDF when I'm going to paint it, I've never tried to...

Awesome looking sign Richard. What software are you using for your 3-D design?

Hey Richard,

I have a question for you about when you trammed in your cross members with the indicator in one of your pictures. I'm assumimg that your side rails were bolted down to your frame...

The sign looks fantastic Richard. :wee:

Nokillzone,

The rack and pinion system is sold by CNC Router Parts. Go to their site at CNCRouterParts

Hallelujah the machine moves!!!! Today started off by heating the shop and mounting the electronics control box to the machine. Then I got all the cables hooked up to the motors and the control...

Looks good Richard keep them coming.:cheers:

OK thanks, now I understand. I don't have that much weight on my Z axis because I'm using a Porter Cable router right now.

Chuck

Hey Richard,

The sign looks great!!!:banana:

I have to ask, why did you have to put a strut on the Z axis? Something doesn't sound right if your Z axis keeps falling down toward the table. Have...

Hey Richard,

Sounds like you're getting alot done. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures on what you did to your mounting board and the spoil board it sounds interesting. I haven't decided...

More progress this weekend :rainfro:

Well actually after looking through my thread there's alot of progress from the last time I posted. The both guide rails are mounted on the gantry along with...

Hi Richard,

Thats what I plan on doing. Putting 3/4" cabinet grade plywood down first then placing the 3/4" MDF spoil board on top of it. The plywood is alot stronger then the MDF especially...

Thanks Richard I appreciate your help. Once the shop heats up, I'll have to go out and take some more pictures of the progress so far. After that I might just stay in the house and work on my...

Hey Richard,:D

Your machine looks like it is coming together very nicely. I started watching you thread a couple of weeks ago just before I started putting my CRP4848 machine together. I have to...

A little more progress today. :cheers:

So far everything is going together real easy. Of course it makes it nice that I have WIFI in the house so I can set up my laptop on the work bench and go...

I got a little progress done today on my machine. I completed the assembly of the machine base and got it positioned on the welded base frame. But of course attaching the machine to the welded base...

Well Pete, the time has finally came. I just wanted to let you know I started my own build thread. It's titled "CRP4848 build log, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho".

Again thanks for all your help.

Hello Everyone,:banana:

I’ve been following several build threads here for a long time and finally received all my parts for my new CNC Router so I thought I’d document the assembly on my own...

Thanks Pete, thats answers all my questions. The fan is on order and I'll start cutting the holes in the box tomorrow. I guess its time to maybe start my own thread.

Looking forward to seeing what...

Hey Pete,

I have my box, the on/off switch, and my electronics package from CNC Router Parts. I'm going to use a 110v cooling fan instead of a 12v just because I already have them. I have a...

Thanks Pete.

12 x 12 x 6 is the size of the box I saw at Home Depot so I'll make sure I get that picked up this week. I assume I can get the switch/plug, the 12v converter, and the computer fan at...

Hey Pete, great to see you're making things with your router. Nice video.

Hopefully the last set of parts will get ordered this week and I can start building my machine. The area in the shop is...

Hey Pete, how are things going? We haven't heard from you in a while.

Chuck

Arbo, the brushes are part of the new risers. They bolt to the front and rear of the riser and keep stuff off of the rails.

Curtis,

Great looking base. I'm glad I found your thread and I will be watching as I'm also getting ready to start building my CPR4848. Everything is ready to go except my electronics package...

:banana: Hey Pete,

You have a great looking machine. Sorry I can't help you with any of the electronic questions but I'm not there yet. Trying to finish up the area in the shop where my new...

Looking Good!!!!! But keep posting we like to see what you're doing.

Like Leeway said if you try to have more of a controlled atmosphere it is better but you have to remember all materials move. I would insulate the ceiling on your shop because thats where you will...
