Thats great to hear. Im glad your machine is working well for you. If you ever have issues, feel free to contact me. We support our machines whether or not you are the original buyer.

Also, make sure your belts are really tight. loose belts will really reduce rigidity and performance.

Just thought I'd weigh in. The machine is obviously not a super heavy duty, ultra rigid machine, but the performance is really good if you program within its limits. a 1/2" cutter in hardwood is...

Yup. You can always email me at [email protected] with questions, or you can call me at 559-901-8329 (pacific standard time).

wow matt. that is quite the table. looks nice.

Hi hidamari. I dont think i ever got your email. I try hard to answer emails in a timely manner. Im glad you got your machine running, but i think the preload on your rails might be too high. You...

I think I know who wrote this post, and I would like to say that customer satisfaction is very important to us, and would like to tell the zenbot perspective on this matter. There was one issue with...

nice board. Our new machines use a belt drive system with very little backlash (almost undetectable). All of the holes are off in the same direction as well. do you always get this result?

All of the previous posts had great advice. I would get an Amana tools aluminum-cutting router bit though. They work great for cutting aluminum on a cnc router.

thats what you would think, but my dry cut saw said specifically not to use it on cast iron or aluminum

Use an abrasive blade intended for aluminum. I was cutting cast iron one day with my abrasive chop saw, and the regular blade all but refused to cut through it. I switched to the aluminum cutting...

Thats pretty cool. I like seeing people put their machines to creative use. CNC opens a whole new world to hobbyists.

Thats a nice machine. I want to see some videos of it cutting. keep up the good work.

xx phenolic is resin bonded paper. they have it at mcmaster.com

They have it at Home depot and Lowes in the insulation section. It comes in plastic bags, and is typically blown into walls/attic. I think its called cellulose insulation.

Jog the motor back and forth while adjusting the pfd. stop adjusting when you hit the sweet spot (it will sound smoother).

sounds like possibly resonance or electromagnetic interference. Are the motor cables routed next to power cables? Did you properly set the mid-band resonance on the driver? The thing you will...

Thanks for the heads up. I had thought of ventilation, I just haven't figured out how I'm going to give it air without letting all the sound out :). Maybe a forced air ventilation system with...

that insulation made from recycled newspaper that is all torn up works great for sound deadening. I saw a demonstration where a bucket was lined with the stuff (packed) as was the underside of the...

Its a very useful and often used tool. using convert entities you can take lines from existing solid bodies and "convert" them to a sketch plane. say you have a simple block with a whole on one...

Wow todd. that first picture is amazing. How did you make that? what software did you use?

Those are really cool. My wife wants me to make some decorative panels for the house now. I've seen designs that look like water ripples with very natural wave patterns that would look really cool...

Your link still doesn't work.

I am going with a single fixed belt on our larger routers for the reasons you mentioned, and for stiffness. The shorter your length of belt, the less stretch. also, the motors are tucked away, so...

what model of Dremel is it? The newer Dremel 300 is a lot quieter.

Gecko drives will actually far outperform the other drivers even at the same voltage. It really is astonishing.

awesome. Do you have the 3-d model? I 'd like to try cutting it.

Yes, tensioning the lead screws is often used to increase the stiffness, and to decrease the screw's whip at higher rpm's.

mcmaster carr has 1/4 edpm foam rubber cord that works great.

HDPFS8 works on orders of $50 or more.
