well since a ram jet won't work until it is alreadys supersonic, you should probably focus on the pulse jet.

I'd just like to offer some encoragement to you with your CAM project.

If/when I finish my Jgro, I'll be using EMC to run it, so your OpenCAM will fill a gap most excelentely.

Cheers,

EMC/EMC2 is cheaper yet....

masaV, I forgot where I got this but here is the guide for EMC.

EMC2 is still not in 'release' yet, and AFAIK there is no documentation around in a user-guide form.

Lurking in the developers...

Looking very nice Mr Balsaman!

Keep the pic's coming please.

gattling gun!

I vote for a gattling gun!

although I don't know how legal that would be in your juristiction.

I know it would be "trip to place without windows" round here.....

You will find help on getting an easy way to put together EMC2/Ubuntu.

I don't know if it will work on Kubuntu...

Biggest lathes will almost certainly have been for shipbuilding, most likely during WWII. (IIRC) Even modern container ships don't have the same HP-per-shaft as the big battleships of WWII. Maybe the...

dude, you're not giving up on that last one are you?

It looks like you're ready to wire up the motors and start moving it?

I've worked with cutting cured composite panels (that's what you're doing, btw) for 13 years now.

Without the exact details of what you are cutting (and no, don't post them. the men in the black...

well it turned into next week.

The instal went exactly as it was supposed to, and I could open EMC2 no problems after the 1st reboot.

It might not be the best job in the world, but does it need to be? If it works and is safe, then it sounds like you're at least half way there.

Oh, and btw, it actually looks quite neat.

ok, so for all of us out there who thought EMC*/Linux was to hard to set up, well guess what I just stumbled across.....

sounds like you've downloaded the "BDI". Brain Dead Install cd was created 'cause setting up linux with the real-time kernel extensions can be a real PITA.

Oldmanandhistoy,

It looks like your frames are routed out of timber. How/what are you using to support the axles for your bearings in them?

If you were to use a piece of steel rod, would it be...

could I trouble you for some close-up views of your bearing mountings?

AFAIK Xylotex will work with pretty much any of the software people are using on this forum....

I havn't powered mine up yet, but I'm planning on using the open-source EMC-2 drivers myself.

what fodder1 said.

no more lusting after the ability to cast bearing mounts in my back yard.

I think this idea has just simplified the hardware-store router design quite a bit......

AFAIK if you are using EMC (not EMC2) then xylotex needs a non-standard pinout on the printer cable to work.

Rodm, did you draw your machine in CAD?

If so, would you consider putting the plans up on the site for others to download (ala Jgro?)

wow, that looks nice!

just for my info, is the 24x60 the footprint of the router, or the cut area?

Love to help you pal, but I can't even install the rtlinux extensions on my ubuntu system yet.

I was planning to try EMC2.
