Tried to upload all the pics, won't let me do it right now. I'll try again late.
Here's a quick first impression of the Romxx cnc machine.
The Romaxx CNC machine arrived last Thursday. Finally had time last night to get a table built and, with the neighbors help, got it up on...
Quick update. The Romaxx cnc should be here sometime this week. The area I had planed to set it up in isn't ready yet, so I'll have to wing it for now. Videos will be coming soon.
I'm case anyone may be interested.....I ordered a Romaxx wd-1 with a 4th axis last week. I had been talking to Ron, the owner of Romaxx, for about three weeks and finally decided to go ahead and...
I'm thinking of buying a Romexx WD-1 cnc machine. Anyone have thoughts to share? I don't seem to be able to find much online about them, but they seem like a solid little machine. I won't be doing...
These are all Sold. I still have two 7"x9" 1/4" thick PBC v groove bearing plates for sale if anyone is interested.
I made some brackets for the inside corners of the base. I'll leave the small triangle brackets in there as well. The new brackets are 1/4" aluminum, and I still have to drill the holes in them for...
Well, the only thing I've managed to do in the past week was finally getting around to putting these 90 degree brackets on. I made 4 of them and plan on making 4 narrower ones to replace the...
Roger,
I have a whole garage full of stuff waiting for inspiration. It's like I have 1 or 2 pieces from 50 different puzzles and, while it looks like it should be so easy to mix and match them...
Bill,
For some strange reason the wife doesn't share my enthusiasm. Nothing that should be in the garage that ends up in the house makes her too happy. I can't wait until she comes home and finds...
Awerby,
I thought about doing something like, though I didn't know that was how the shopbot buddy was set up. My only concerns I had while mulling it over was supporting the outside edges of the...
Aaron,
Thank you. So far luck has been my blueprint. Hopefully it continues to guid me faithfully.*
I lucked into a piece of rail at the scrap yard that was long enough to be cut in half. I was originally planning on using a couple of thin flat pieces of steel I had and was just going to bolt that...
Hi Bill
The PBC linear website sells it but I don't know how much it would be. A few weeks ago someone on Ebay had one carriage on a 4 foot rail with a buy it now price of $250. I know the carriage...

Today I picked up 3 aluminum rails with integrated hardened steel V rails. They're 59" long, 9" wide and about an inch thick. No use for them yet but I'm sure I'll be able to think of something if I...
I still have them but couldn't edit a mistake in the listing so I deleted (ended) it. I'll give it another try tomorrow.
I get a call from a friend who's found me an 'up and down axe thingy' and wants to know if I want it. Cost, $5. Yup, gotta have it. He dropped it off about an hour ago. It's about 12" across and 10"...

90% done. Need motor mounts and a few hardware odds and ends. Once that's done my son will start putting the electronics on it. Ended up being a very solid, very smooth, machine.
Not a whole lot of progress in the last couple of days. I bolted the Y axis to the X axis, it came out pretty good, level and smooth on the bearings, no binding.
I took the X axis assembly apart...
Forgot to add pic
May be worth a quick look:
My son is part of a FRC robotics team who made it to worlds last year in St Louis and finished 17th. There were 7 kids on the team and it was their rookie year. Amazing...
Drilled the side rails and bolted then in and, just for the heck if it, drilled and attached the carriages to some steel I had laying around for the gantry uprights. They're about 2" too short but I...
Took the piece I needed to cut in half for the side rails to work today and, even with the chop saw, it took a bit to cut through. Here's some pics of the rails and carriages. Might try and bolt...
Odds and ends. I have buckets of em' so, at the end of the day, here's where I stand.
I found corner brackets and some plates so I used them on some 3" 8020 for the 'legs' that I'll bolt a piece...
Here are pics of the driver and the stepper. I bought 6 of them awhile back, all came together.
When I got them I couldn't find any info online so I sent OMC an email asking for specs. I was told...
Attaching the gantry to the Y axis is going to be a little tricky. Not much progress today other then laying out the frame.
