I ended up pulling mine out - measurements here: Canada CNC Router - Mark H Photo

Does anyone know where to buy the extrusion for the raptor? I've finally taken measurements from my ballscrew has I was forced to do some maintenance, and I'm looking at buying new rails + extrusion...

I heard from george very briefly when I emailed him after he posted the updated address here. I was asking about a new X axis ballscrew as mine sounds TERRIBLE and I really really want to buy a new...

Looks to me like the domain expired in March and was then purchased after deletion.

Well, the xzero domain is now up for sale, so I suspect the business is well and truly dead. It's a shame,as the frame was a pretty nice piece of hardware.

INMotion looks to be built on a very very similar concept, but they are not the same company?

I'm wary of buying anything from them as their gallery has a lot of photos of ultra cheap linear...

I tried emailing George earlier this year to buy new linear bearings (wore a couple out), but never received a response so I bought them from Aliexpress. My X axis ballscrew is now clicking and...

I like the idea of the small aircompressor they include as its oil-less - so no fouling of the optics with the micro particles of oil that get atomised during compression. It's also far quieter than...

I agree, I didnt go the touchscreen either - I'd much prefer hardware buttons for safety features than a touchscreen.

If you're going for a machine that size, why not step up to the Z4? I've got a...

I do like the top cover, get the Ruida controller upgraded to the RDC6332 or 6333, thats the 320A and its very much so on the low end of the market, the 633x are much much better.

Where abouts in...

There are many threads for these cheap laser engravers, probably because they are one of the most popular lasers and need a lot of work to be decent. They are a good starting point for many great...

One of the upgrades I will be doing is changing the pump out to a closed circuit system using a PC watercooling pump and a dual fan radiator. The stock pump is advertised as a 1100l/hr:...

I bought a cheap chinese 40W laser on ebay as something to play with and learn from while my 100W 1200x900mm laser is getting built and shipped. I figured this is a cheap (relatively speaking) way...

I've lodged a dispute with PayPal for the item, requesting a refund for the cost of a new spindle through the cheapest competitor.

This is the response i got from the seller, smells like BS to me.

I ordered a spindle from Linearmotionbearings (chai) based on the feedback given here, at a much higher cost than other ebay dealers had the same thing (2.2kW 240v spindle + vfd in my case) however I...

Looks like my spindle and mount should arrive today! Now to get the cable and watercooling stuff.

Incredible build, you put the CNC machine i'm working on to shame!

Wow, finally read through the entire thread start to finish!

Does anyone know where to get brand name VFD's in Australia? I found some Hitachi X200's on ebay however at $350 + 196 of shipping it's...

What do people think about this for a mount?

The only other mounts i could find were on ebay (or the same thing on alibaba at...

Come on guys, lets not have an argument.. there's no need for that.

hemsworthlad, i've seen photos of people with open buckets of water feeding a CNC spindle, so it's not that stupid of a...

drboom, i'll send you a PM about that.

I like having good quality stuff too, but occasionally I have to put off buying it (as much as i abhor buying something twice). Luckily, as an electronics...

I used to be a gamer as a teenager and had watercooling systems back when it was first becoming popular too. I had a system i used for about 3 years and then handed down to Dad for another 3-4yrs...

How rubbish are the Chinese VFD's, is it something i can live with for a few months and then replace early...

Thanks for the tip on the make an offer, thats really good to know.

I was looking at using PC water cooling stuff already, good to know it's going to work well. What size fittings are on the...

Thanks for the link. How hot do you find your air cooled version getting?

When i was looking at the ebay photos of the air cooled, they looked exactly the same as the water cooled (including water...

I'm hoping to finish my CNC machine up this weekend, i bought an Ozito 850watt router for $50 at Bunnings. I expect to last about 5 minutes before it's bearings start to act up plus it has a 1/4"...
