Hey guys....

This is Tom - The designer of the CADCUT 4X8' machine.

My machine uses a dual rack system-driven with a jack shaft with dual pinion gears....Perfect ? No...Accurate- yes- is there...

Hello - This is Tom - Designer of the Cad Cut machine. I had another builder email me with some questions who had said you had a few 'issues' with the machine so thought Id drop in to help.
...

Donald

you get plenty with the instructions...plus I can email more for clarity on anything....

Donald

What pics are you trying to see ??

Wher did the cad-cut forum go ?

Paul

It's ok....

I liked the old one better personally.....

The Cad Cut uses 1 stepper on each axis. The Y axis is driven with a screw, the Z axis is driven with a rack and pinion and a single motor....

Hope I helped....

Guys.....

Some of you know me - some do not. I am the designer of the Cad Cut CNC machine (4X8) of which there is a forum on this website.

Anyway - I am seriously considering switching to...

Well I tacked a piece of foam down (2" styro) and ran the part file - came out fine... so ??? Who knows - maybe some electrical noise, the bit just broke... who knows.......

I wish Id have been...

Pictures........

I was milling plywood - about a .35" depth of cut, 13000 RPM, 2 flute bit - made by Porter Cable..... The plywood is the 3/4" 9 ply stuff at home depot - not the cheap stuff - imported 'sand ply' as...

Hey guys......

I was milling wood tonight ( a plug for an rc airplane wing) with a .25 2 flute upcut bit, 13000 RPM, cuttin beautiful..... I was inside when I heard something sounding differant...

There is a machine in PA - operating...

Adapting to plasma is no trouble at all.... The design of the machine is the same - its as simple as mounting a plasma cutter VS the router and jacking the work up

Thanks for those answers guys.......

I coulndt have answered them better myself ! :cheers:

No problem......

You really do need to try to use the thicker stuff - You CAN do it with 1/2", just make sure you keep it all level and straight as I explain in the plans.

Tom

Kan.......

You can see more pics at :

The machine uses a single stepper on a shaft driving 2 pinion gears. You could build it and use 2 motors no problem if you prefer. I have had no problem at all with the single motor arrangement...

The software I use is Ability Systems Indexer and G-Code Controller - alink to the site is oon our website

Tom

I know someone just finished one for about 5000.

You can build it for between 5-6000.

What piece are you talking about ??? You have me confused - You mean the 3/4" piece ??

The X axis has the rack support piece and the horizontal piece that the linear rail mounts to - thats it....

Yes the plans are complete. All part numbers as well as where to buy is included. The machine uses acme screws on the Y and Z axis and 2 rack & pinion gears on the X axis

You have to do no...

I spent about 8000 dollars which included a computer, CAD software, CAM software, and some tools.........

All my parts were new. Finding the parts was simply a matter of research......... not...

Hey guys.........

I think everyone should throw ideas on the basic type of machine into the hat BEFORE any one direction is taken.....
Consider every available type of linear component first as...

I have a Sanyo Denki 220 Oz In Stepper - new. Its a 6 lead motor. I need 2-3 small steppers...... 200 step per inch, 1-5 V, 1 amp or less, around 30 oz in torque. They must be unipolar....

Be glad...

Sam

Drop me an email............. not a PM though......

Sam

If ya want Ill send you a detail of the rack cover - very easy to make and works perfect.

Hows your machine coming anyway ??
