I just sold the A2Z QCTP. Haven't been using it for years. Bought myself the sherline QC few years ago. More rigid then the A2Z but I've been on my Proxxon PD400 lathe most of the time. The sherline...

Check out their site.

Sad to hear of A2ZCNC is gone... Love their stuff and Tim gave very good support during and after my purchase.

Your "lathe" is way too cool!!! I was planning to buy those table clamps to hold hand drill at various angles to use as a sander. I can try to build something similar to yours using the drill clamp.

Hope you enjoy your holiday.

Nice box you have there. Been searching around for the right sized box for months. Those I found are way too small to fit the power supply with the rest of the...

Thanks!!! Enjoy your holiday.

Hi Mikael,

That's a really nice job done!

Possible to show some pics of how you mount your lead/ballscrews and connect it to the moving gantry?

Any recommendation?

Thanks for the direction.

Is this type of ply easy to work with? I've no experience with woodworking (or any xxxworking for that matter) at all. But I'm ready to give it a shot.

Sorry to barge in here as a non-Aussie.

Pete, do you think by reinforcing the machine with metal bracket and angles will make alu cutting a reality?

Very nice!

May I know what software you use to do up the design?

Hi Ketchak,

Sorry to be a bug. Are you able to share your drawings with dimension of your gantry plates?

What are the lengths of the alu profiles you used? Looks like 4040 and 4080 but I...

Jay,

A little advice for a newbie?

The price of a mini/midi, top it up with shipping, can get me a Sherline 5100 with some loose change.

Which is a better option? I believe the cost of...

Hi Jay,

Thanks for responding. I was referring to mini and midi. Upon doing the currency conversion and including the shipping cost, it seems that I'm left with mini. Still have to set aside...
