I have the dual bear version of that spindle. Exact part number I'd have to check. Bought it through George. Great spindle however when it's really cold needs more inrush current to start since the...

I'm accurate across the entire y axis within 0.001". I can post a video on youtube later. I used the same design as George but used high precision THK linear bearing blocks and rails and Thompson...
I posted those pictures which are hard to see because this is George's thread. Honestly for the hassle and price and everything else just go with Georges machine. I'm just too anal and paid a lot...
Hey chris,
I redesigned a raptor for my personal use. Well I feel my machine is better than the one that George sells, I paid easily 3 times the price and the benefits in terms of tolerances are not...

I found the problem last night. Turns out the home position was set in machine coordinates to a position not on my table so every time I finished a program it would end up tuning to the end of the...

What size hole or hose connection is it? Also what is the distance from where it mounts on the teknomotor to the outside face that holds the brushes? I may not have the same clearance as you do...

This is great. Thanks for posting this George.
Hey guys,
Can you suggest a good place that I can order CNC router bits from within canada. I am particularly looking for a flycutter with inserts to perform nice surfacing finishing/spoilerboards....
Newmarket. ontario. Basically designed and built a CNC router working on the little things to get it cutting parts now :) Hoping to meet others in the area.
Cheers
Hello everyone,
Quick question for you all, I built my own version of George's Raptor (you should all just buy it from him as building it yourself even as an engineer costs double ;). ) I did...
Have you considered the Torchmate product line from Lincoln Electric. I received a few quotes for a couple models in around your budget for a 4x4' complete but that was maybe 2 or 3 years ago now. I...
Hello everyone. I recently designed and built my own version of a CNC sold here on cnczone. The machine is mechanically assembled for the most part. I want to setup mach3 and limit switches prior to...
me? renderings but never physical pictures. I cannot post pictures of our process, would be against company policy
Laser welding or cutting? You would need to be a lot closer to the part. What type if laser is it and what are the optics its running. Hard to believe the Z-axis will be sufficient for that.
