Hello folks. It's been a long time and I'm taking my PCNC out of mothballs and I'm going to try and use it again. Can anyone remember where in the PC the preset router information that came with...

Why not learn how to model the tele in Rhino or some other 3 d program based on the DXF's that are out there? That way you'll know it is done right. All you need to do is get the top view and make...

Try this German site. It has just about all the PDF and DXF drawings one would want for common guitars.

I was one of the last ones to get a complete machine. I was quite disappointed in the Z axis flex. Instrument wood is expensive and it only took a couple of poor parts for me to realize that the...

This is what I'd do if I were you. I'd download CAMBAM. It is free for 30 uses or so. I'd download a DXF file and put it into a CAD program you have at school. I"d move the strat body top...

It's a probotix prewired 3 axis setup with their motors on a K22514 router. I've used it for years and switched computers about 4 times over those years. I kept digital photos of the mach settings...

The autotune zero button will start to drop but won't stop when contacting my plate. That is the problem I'm trying to solve. I tried all 5 available pins numbers on the inputs. I checked for...

Hello. I've been using Mach for a number of years with various computers. After the last computer started to have difficulties last week, I decided to move up to a more modern one with windows...

This is something you need to know how to do:

Can't you scale the drawing to a known measurement like a fret to fret...

I'm not sure this will be any help, but my wood router is usually moving about 50 IPM and a router cuts about 25000 RPM. Occasionally I can bump that up about 10 percent but I don't want to lose...

I'd suggest you download Rhino or Cambam and start drawing. cambam is free for 40 uses and is pretty useful. That's the only way you'll learn how to do this in my opinion. We all started out where...

You need to be more specific. set neck or bolt on? I'm not aware of any program that generates a template. You need to draw it yourself.

I've seen people tilt the neck at an angle so that both nut to heel and nut to peghead ends are within the range of their Z axis. Obviously this involves a jig to hold your neck wood at that angle. ...

Happy New Year. My pcnc Machine hasn't been used since I bought my K2 over a year ago.

I sent you a PM.

A 24 x36 machine would be ideal for guitar components. I have a 14 x 25 one at the moment on which I can do necks with re indexing the material to get the total length machined. Bodies are not a...

I have a k2 2514 that I bought on Ebay for around 1500. With a prewired set of motors and controllers from an internet vendor, that brought the price up to about 2K. I'm pretty happy with it...

The machine is nice looking but its small size really is impractical for use in instrument building unless you are making miniature instruments or as you said, inlay. I have a Maxnc 10 here that is...

You need to draw an arc along the centerline, from the end of the contours on the backside of the peghead, to under the nut area and beyond a bit. One end of this new curve meets the straight...

Did this machine that you are talking about ever work right? Are you the original owner? Mine has " worked" correctly, but the tolerances are too sloppy for what I do. That is because of a flaw...

Are you are homing the machine each time you turn it on? That sets everything to zero.

I have no clue. My machine is just sitting here doing nothing. I ended up getting a K22514 and it works great. I bought a z axis system and may try and retrofit it to the pcnc. I hate to see it...

I saw your ad in VG.

I just finished a strat body yesterday. I'm not big into strats since they are so overpopulated :-), but decided to crank one out anyway. Since I spent so many years working in 2d I prefer it. I...

Well you asked for thoughts.....Yes I have used a round nose router bit for fretboards, in fact I radiused my fretboards with a straight router bit for a decade with a regular router in a jig I...

Why send the neck to a sander to arch the fretboard when you can do it right with the cnc with a roundnose bit? I would think this would be more do-able with one rotating neck instead of 4 unless...

I've only done necks that have a separate fretboard. You should check out EHawley's thread on making a tele body and neck. It is at TDPRI.com. It shows how he milled a neck including showing the...
