Any service technician that can work on an ACCTEK machine?

China tech support has been very helpful to me and diagnosed the the problem as a faulty control board. I have ordered a replacement...

I'm looking to buy a 48x48 AVID CNC in Charlotte, NC if I can find someone to hire to assemble it for me.

I am disabled now and no longer have the use of my right side so I need "arms & legs".

THANKS. I have purchased the plans and joined his forum. I just hoped to learn a little more from more experienced people.

I recognize your nickname here and want to thank you personally for...

I'm going to build a Joe's CNC and wanted to see if I could read a little more first. I'm a 60 year old, disabled guy and thought I could learn a little more.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Sorry t hear about your stroke. I had a stroke back in 2004 and was left with an "affected" right side too. I've just recieved my plans for a Joe's Evolution CNC and will build it myself (if I...

bkboggy,

I just bought a set of plans from Joe's CNC and plan to build his Evolution model. I'm estimating my build at more/less $7000 and that's WITHOUT computer or software. I don't know how...

Most every afternoon is free. I try to do all of my doctors appointment and therapy before noon. Don't know where you work but Arrowood Road & Hwy 49 intersection is about 10 minutes away.

Handguns or long guns? I'd love to start making custom grips for 1911's. I'd love to get together someday soon. My daughter lives in Hickory and maybe we could plan to meet when we're up there...

Hello, I would love to "talk shop" and exchange ideas. I'm a 59 year old, disabled man (stroke) who can't drive anymore though so it might be tough. I'm a home hobbyist who really enjoys my...

Overall I have been very happy with my 6012. It is now very accurate and I think very well built.
Several of the bolts were not properly tighten and I had to re-tighten everything. I contacted...

To be clear it is the WATER PUMP and I bought it from AMAZON. I bought & use a Quiet One Lifegard Aquarium Pump, 317-Gallon Per Hour . It was $24.00 (U.S.).


That has worked very well for...

Everything is holding up just fine.

The water pump that with it was not sufficient for my needs so I bought a new one the first week. Other than that I've had to replace/repair nothing.

Please...

Sorry Jack,

You must have meant to send this to someone else. I have a router that I am pleased and do o need or want another one.

I still consider myself very new at this "router thing" but I'll be glad to tell you what I know so far.

I would say I'm very happy with my AKG6012. I bought it because of the sutrdiness of the...

I have an ACCTEK 6012 that is producing great results for me, but I want to make it a little easier. I am disabled from a stroke and have memory issues. Despite having tons of Post-It Notes all...

Sorry to hear about that. I thought that was my situation too. May still be though all test today looked promising after adding the Vortex nut.

I figured as much so I chose Vortex and not something off of EBay.

I think I have isolated my problem and it appears to be the "nut".

I hear the snap when the collet goes into the nut but it just didn't feel right so I took it out and thoroughly cleaned the nut...

I don't remember hearing a snap. I'll clean everything tomorrow and try it again. I'll be totally embarrassed if that's all it is. That would mean I messed up on the .125, the .25, the 4mm and the...

Yep just 1 plunge straight down. Is it possible to put a collet in "crooked"?

Is it possible I'm not tightening the collet nut enough? I think I'm getting it pretty snug I am disabled and seem...

Thanks, I didn't think of that, order and have one on the way.

Help!


I have a Chinese 2.2kw spindle that is new and I fear it’s defective.

I have used it a little to do custom signs for friends and some 2.5D art. Recently I decide to build...

Bought mine from Jenny at acctekcnc.com. She handle EVERYTHING for me, right up to the time the truck driver rolled the crate into my garage and "dropped" the pallet jack.

Be sure to check every...

Thank you.

I wondered if Stub Drills would make a difference.

Thanks for your reply. I'm just going to wait until I have access to the drill press.

I've already used a punch to make some "starter" holes.

Thanks again. I really don't want to damage my...

Spindle will go down to 720RPM. It is a 2.2kw Chinese spindle.

I need to drill 10 holes, 5 of which are are 0.15625", 4 at 3/8" and 1 at .5". Do you think I should stay at 8000RPM for the...

Thanks Jim, I knew that was the "right" answer when I asked.

I am disabled from a massive stroke and walk (barely) with a cane. I have a drill press in my work shop but it's in the back yard and...

Have an odd question; can i use regular drill bits in my cnc router? drill bits

I have a need, for the first time to drill 3 holes in 1" aluminum and my router will not cut round holes in the...

They should be smooth. Quite is a had thing to say, the amount of noise I deem normal may be more than you can tolerate. All that said I do not consider mine at all bad.

You deserve and should...

That's a possibility that I thought of. I also was looking at the feeds & speeds as a possibility. Seems that the ellipse is at the start point of the path, I think it is somehow related to the way...
