They are exactly the same as the ones that Superior(?) or IMService sell. I think it's just a typo on their site.

Joe-

What did you use to hold your piece down to the table?

Too busy working and cutting to get video :)

I'm extremely happy with mine. I've been cutting mostly models with mine. I run my 2006 and 4x4 at the same time and it really cuts down on the...

I'd be interested in some Joe. I'm cutting lots of balsa and plywood and the dust is horrible with the carpet runner. It just gets sucked up and doesn't stop hardly any of the dust. PM me with the...

When I get the 4x4 paid for, that's the first thing I'm going to do. Replace the 2006 with a scaled down version of the 4x4, just transfer all the electronics. It is sooo smooth and very strong.

Well, my 4x4 is basically done. Just a few more bells and whistles to add. I cut for about 2 hours after I leveled the table and I am nothing but please with the performance.

Here's a short clip...

I'm not Joe, but the steppers are slaved for the Y axis. The belt is just a "in case" measure that may not be an issue.

I used Rustoleum Painter Touch White Primer and Deep Blue Gloss. Turned out really nice.

Here's a couple pictures of my 4x4. Should be ready to fire up sometime this next week if all goes well.

Here's some pictures of my progress on my machine. All HDPE assemblies and MDF assembles. MDF parts are just test fitted, I'll get them glued up sometime this week.

I'll post some pictures up tonight when I get the chance. Only thing that I wish I had more of was room in the shop. I wanted to keep my 2006, but I may not be able to.

I've got all the MDF & HDPE parts cut, frame and most of the bed assembled and should have most of it together by the weekend if I can keep from getting distracted on other things. :)

I'm waiting on my bolts and the weekend. I probably could have picked the bolts up locally, but would have paid a lot more. Hopefully I can hit it hard this weekend and make some great progress. ...

I can tell you that there are a couple that already have the frame and bed made up. Won't be too long and they'll have their machine moving. I'm hoping to get to work on mine this weekend. I had...

Joe-

How big is the file? I'm hoping my mail server is set to handle the size.

James

As long it's before Saturday afternoon that is fine with me. That way I can go to the Hardware store and load up my trailer with needed goodies!:):cool: The wife might not like it, as I'll be MIA...

T minus 1... hopefully :)

Here you go. From what I understand there will be no kit as it would be too complex and expensive to acquire all the materials for the kit.

Plans only with build instructions but you may be able...

Awesome Joe. Thank you!!!!!

Enough teasing already.... :)

Sweet Joe. I've done this a little bit and it is really easy to do. Not sure if you can copy, but I know that you can move parts between layers.

Awesome Joe. Just let me know when and where to send the $$$$.

BOB, 8020 extrusions (8020 garage) and T nuts showed up today. Controller box is just about finished. Waiting on a cap and need to install the BOB and geckos, then I need to do some V-carve and...

How do you slave the two axis in Mach 3? I was just going to run the same step and direction line for the axis to both geckos. I take it slaving in Mach is better?

James

EDIT: I figured out...

I wish I had an 8'x8' area to wall off, but the third bay in the garage just isn't quite that big. I'm going to have to get rid of a few things to make room as it is. It's a good thing though, as...

Alright Joe, I just about got my controller box built and will have most of the components that I could order to this point by tomorrow. Now I'm patiently waiting.... :)

I guess I could clean...

Do the two steppers with the pulleys need to be dual shaft? I'm assuming so, but I haven't seen a picture yet that actually shows how that is setup.

James

Cool, I may add another cap in parallel just to be safe. I've got everything else purchased for the PS, controller box and the steppers. Ordered a new PC router motor, dust collector and extra...

Not sure this is the best place, but I'm working on the PS for the 4x4 Hybrid and just wanted someone to check my math to make sure that I'm correct. I'm using Bob Campbell's PS design/instructions....

Looks great Joe!

Can't wait to get started on it. I like the cable management, very simple but effective.
