Excellent work on the machine.

Thanks for posting the pics and your observations after 5 years.

Did you have any glitching issues due noise created by the plasma torch?

Hey guys,

Is it possible to create a model from the vectors in the picture starting with the profile on the left and finishing with the profile on the right.

The curved lines are a plan view. ...

Back on the forum after a long layoff. These motors will drive a small cnc router. I use identical motors on the x and y axes. The motors on my 5x5 are driven with Hobbycnc 4 axis board.

Thanks Gerry I will try it.

Wow have not posted in a while.

I recently changed my BioStar motherboard to an ASRock mobo and HDD on my cnc's computer and got it back up and running without much fuss.

Hooked the motherboard...

Needed to use some cheap 60 deg bits 1/4" shaft with my hitachi router that came when we bought the 5 x 10 Maxi-Cam.

I ordered the PreciseBits ER-20 kit for the Bosch 1617 which also fits the...

Good work.

Was the blue machine always rack and pinion or it had a belt drive previously?

Problem solved

I export my VCarve Pro gcode as gcode mm. It seems this gcode will represent arcs as a series of tiny straight lines which is fine under normal cutting situations.

When I...

I have always set my VCarve output to gcode mm. lets see what happens when I try gcode arcs in mm. All CV settings off.

I was pocket cutting yesterday and the machine was stuttering in the curves.

My CV distance setting was 180 for a long time. The CV feedrate is not active but it is set to +1.0. I also use...

Pic of the dragonfly mounted. before finishing.

The dragon fly was done for zone member Tajord as his big machine is not finished yet.

Have not posted in a while some pics of recent work.

The dragon fly cutout had to be done in 3 pieces.

All work done in V-Carve Pro as usual.

Excellent work as always.

The finish on the "fix stupid" sign is amazing. I cannot see any machining marks.

You bits must be super sharp. I get problems sometimes with the alternating hard and...

Like it !!!!!!!!!

What's the total machining time.

Jason

excellent 3D work.

What is the vane for?

Yes guys Centre is spelt correctly.

Thanks to you and Flakey.

A 14 foot sign installed with the help of fellow cnczoners Tajord and Flakey.

3/4" sign foam covered with contact paper to mask and letters pocketed with a 1/4" upspiral bit.

Letters painted...

Lots of stuff, but I forgot the pretty pencils.

Thanks Russell.

It appears all is peaceful as I have heard no fights for the orange bin. I guess I stuffed with so many things they did not notice.:)

Tried Gerry's suggestions and ran a new 1/4" bit @ 1/4" depth in dry PT pine and it ran without that high pitch squeal during the cut.

Thanks Gerry.


Something for the kids.

I saw this...

Looks like its a 30 to 1 ratio :- monster torque

Those holes in the steel look good.

What bits were used to mill the steel?

What rpm on the router?

Jason

Thanks for the suggestions. I will get the Bosch router repaired and keep it to do the manual parts of such jobs.

Jason

Thanks for your reply guys.

In terms of pricing I knew it was low and it will be adjusted in the future. the price would have to at least double or maybe triple.

The balusters I normally cut...

Thanks Lee.
Here are the prices we went through initially.

By hand the customer had someone do it by hand for $15.00 USD ($30.00 BDS) per 16 foot length.

The finish was not that impressive.
...

I took on a job of 1 1/4" x 10" x 16' pressure treated pine. He wanted a trim design cut with the ends rounded over.

I cut each piece in 4 foot sections and with the different tool changes it took...

Love this machine. How about a video of the overall machine cutting/routing wood.

Funds, funds,funds Flakey. Its what rules the world. As soon as they come through I will start the electrical work.
