I think this was given to me by another person on the zone but here is my method...

I have a table built with this and I have a pic I am including. Basically I drilled holes in the table top with...

Guys and Gals,

I have come to a turning point in life where I have to choose. I have moved on to other projects since this big beautiful machine was made. I have logged maybe 80hrs on it and it...

While I am not the person to ask what it is I can tell you what I would do with it!! :)

I would get the belt and drive it with a good electric drive motor from surplus. Then I would attach some...

I am announcing the unfortunate RETURN OF THE COOG!!!!! I am back on the zone and starting some more projects. I will upload some pics/info of the things I have done over the last year that I have...

The information given is invaluable and I have it in my notes now. I am taking your advice and getting another Power Supply as I dont want to mess up the one I have it is a nice unit. I wont do the...

I do need help. on this also. I have a xylotex controller that wants 24vdc and all i have is a 35vdc power supply what can I do about this?

TIA

I have the Xylotex 4axis controller and it wants from 12 to the recommended 24 volts DC.

I have a controller power supply but it puts out 35vdc. That is the top and not so recommeded power amount...

I am going to make a nice little pendant loosely based on this that I plan on selling it wont have the screen or the modIO but will work awesome I gots a special trick I am going to try this weekend....

I want one!!!!!!! that has got to be the hardest thing to program tho!

KUDOS!!!! awesome post you betcha!!!

you increase torque as you change gears or change pulleys with the belts. I built a belt driven one and effectively doubled my torque by running a 2" main pulley and a 4" drive pulley with a timming...

The Joe CNC or the JGRO units and if you want to spend a couple dollars go get David Solsylvas step by step plans for a few different ones. I think the only issue is that you can scale the X/Y/Z to...

Well I am not going to built a 5 axis but thank you a TON! cause you just gave me a nice way to get the 4th axis done on my machine finally. This plan gave me what I was looking for for the spin...

Too smart!!! I love the Zone!. So my thought was to use my skate bearings (100 for 25.00 at vxb) and adapt the 3/8 threaded rod to said item to be spun. One adaptor for each end. This would let me...

So as I get started again. I am open to helping others while I take on a few projects. :banana:

The first project is to finish my pendant which is going to be a little large but I think It will...

check my build thread I used them in my machine and am totally happy with them.

Garage is clean I am ready and I will post post post!

As an after thought you could make a threaded rod frame that was an X in a square. [x] kinda. each length could be adjustable so that when you set this onto your rails you could screw or unscrew...

For each machine there will be a different way to align the machine. On mine I was not worried whether or not the steel frame was totally true to the thousandths as the rails we bolted into a nearly...

The advantage of 2 over one is obviously the added torque at higher speeds. But it is simple math. 1 motor 1200oz torque is more than 2 at 300oz torque. At relavant speeds. With this remember it...

FINALLY!!!!!

I am able to get things calmed down. I have not had much time on the machine but I now own all the parts to make a fine control setup (joystick and buttons) and I will start into this...

You rock that machine design is awesome and I might need to go get me a good brake now, damnit man!

Thanks for the awesome thread keep it comming!

what if i take the air drive out of a small air grinder attach a pulley at top and an electric motor?? good cheap spindle?? its rated for 22k rpm and goood lateral forces....

Thoughts???

Sorry I have not posted more but I am on the upswing again. I am developing a new bearing for a hybrid jgro/joe2006 build more to come... I have all the parts for a demel based 12"x12"x2" machine...

for pitch and belts and pulleys this is the site. SDP-SI.com as thye have all you need. As long as the pulleys match in pitch and match the belt you can do a 2:! or a 1:4 or whatever your trying to...

As you all know I started off with Davids plans and they are great. I modified them a bit so I came up with a hybrid. It is a great router and I am working on the polishing points now.

1. Finish...

At first I did have the corners knocked off but then placed it back to square blocks so there are more mounting methods. I think that if you run one facing downward onto angle bar and one upward onto...

For you techno geeks I need a little more information on this stepper. It has 5 wires not 6 or 4 so I am confused on wiring it up. Also it is 7.5 degrees and 48 steps per revolution so maybe some...

Yes I meant that those are finish tapped 5/16" holes I will make the holes 1/64th smaller and tap out to 5/16". If someone is interested in where this goes...

I might be persuaded to make more...

Yet again my brain is going going gone somewhere into the next build! I am starting with the bearings.

I am going to use the skate bearing and build a hybrid jgro/joe2006/buildyouridea.com...

The tough thing is I need a 1/8th bit that has a 1" cut depth maybe as litle as 0.8" but that is an odd length.

Anyone know where to find that?
