If you're looking to reduce vibrations, I saw another post where somebody commented on what they found in driveshafts on large trucks.
Try taking a slightly larger diameter carboard packing tube...

That's actually an interesting way of serving a bow string. I used to make these by hand myself and I could see that being a real help, if you can get the tension to stay.

For your question, I...

I say geabox, but that's just me.

If I were to use the clearpaths in my situation, a 4' x 4' steel frame and gantry router (gantry being 4" x 6" 1/4 wall and a 3KW spindle) would you, in my shoes, build it using clearpaths of a...

I am here to follow, please don't mind me.
Awaiting professional input lol

I really like you're table so far, by the way. Clean loomkng build especially for steel.

I agree, and this is what I was trying to get at. I will probably buy a set of servos from them one day to use and test on a personal machine. Jim you and I have discussed what I intend to do and...

He was talking about namebrand ateppers and drivers, I believe.
I myself found chinese steppers that I will be using, still at a cost of $80/ea. And Gecko G214 (?) Drivers @169/ea.
Finding a...

I'm getting nearly double the cost of my steppers and drives, plus the power supply, just for equal clear path servos. Might be nice if I had the extra cash just laying around, but considering my...

I personally feel like splitting an order is a horrendous idea in the first place. If I am going to cut 500 pieces for you, and you want 250 now, 250 in six months, either you order 250 now and order...

Just a little piggy back advice here, Jim and Ger seem to be the masterminds behind everything here lol.
If they have advice to give, it's worth more than their time typing it.
Oh, and thank god...

Great thread, especially considering I am designing a router with the KFLOP in mind and was going to see about creating a standalone controller with a pocket sized win10 pc and touchscreen.
Now. ...

sorry if I seem a bit off topic, or threadjacky, but I came to this thread because of the word KFLOP. I am building a cnc router myself and had settled on the kflop as my motion controller, with the...

In case anyone is wondering what crazy ideas have been going through my head for the last few years here's a little insight.
I used to run a multicam (don't remember the specific model off the top...

This will start out as an experimental machine, the first of many, and will be a 2' x 3" machine. For the sake of answering your question, we will say it's a hobby machine. Build budget of no more...

That is what I was talking about. As said before, if you drive a 95 Ford and you go buy a new one, do you have to buy all of the models in between?

Holy SH** They have a motion controllwr for everything!
How steep was the learning curve for setting up both the hardware and software sides of these controllers? Is there much information out...

Okay, so after a few hours of searching, I can find a small handful of threads about specific controllers, but no single thread really comparing any of them.

My question to you all, if you were...

I could see where an engineering r&d team doing model testing in program (i.e. Koenigsegg) would need a program like solid works. But I completely think they should take a step back and really think...

on a side note, I feel like, if I could just learn and actually understand G-code creation in freecad I'd be golden.

I feel like "a real kick in the teeth" is a little understated. They are basically telling anyone that isn't a large professional shop with that kind of disposable income to eat it... Pretty poor...

This is insane...

Hey ya'll, like the last I decided I just had to finally register after lurking around here for years now.
My name is Neil, no I don't care if anyone on the web knows that. I am a fresh student in...
