Thanks Scott, glad you enjoyed it. Sure I enjoyed building it and now using it.
Nothing much happening right now though, busy on the woodworking side of things, building some furniture.
Cheers,...

Finished the electronics for now. Happy with it, works and looks very nicely organized.
First job was to get the limit-switches done. Once again tested some configurations and eventually had to...
Well, time for a bit of an update. Decided to finally start cleaning up the wire-mess and get a more permanent solution and replace that bread-board inside.
Had 2 'Extension Wings' ordered and they...
Oops.. yep.. details..details..lol
Your wish.. my command..

Thanks, yesterday's try really is a lot better. even at to much depth, (it went in about 1mm), it's quite amazing on detail.
This weekend will mostly be finishing work on yet another logo, but hope...
Tried the 0.5mm bit. What a difference. Not perfect yet, went too deep, (I need a touch-plate)..but it sure looks nice.

My son came over yesterday with a sketchbook/diary that had a small lock on it. Asked me if I could make a nice key-hanger for him.
Since he is crazy about anything monster and/or dinosaur, I took a...
Not an expert, but:
Both designs as shown would need 2 screws on the X.. Both could also be modified (longer uprights/sides for the gantry, extending below the bed) for a single screw.
Design 2...
Hello Roger, yep, didn't look carefully at the pictures, fixed overhead spindle, big one at that.
Nice contained machine..bit difficult for mine, but it's hardly necessary for now. Very silent.
...
That's a beautiful piece of engineering Roger. Compact, well laid out. Still a long way to go for me getting close to that, but who knows..
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Luc
That's similar to what my mom told me years ago.. 'it's the level you are capable of that shows on your papers. The rest you learn while working'..
She was a smart woman..
Hello Roger, you've achieved more in your study/eduction time alone than me in my entire life I guess..impressive list of qualifications and work.
I've only managed to finish a college degree and am...
Hello 1Jumper10, thanks for the comment, static electricity, hmm that's a nasty bugger indeed. Not having any problems with it so far. Used the dust shoe on Saturday to cut another logo for a friend...
tested.. works wonders.. no dust at all. Now only need to get that dust collector silenced...lol
- - - Updated - - -
Coming back to the capacitors..Went back to 1uF, had a couple of false...
Bit late, but some progress again. Finished a first dust-shoe this Sunday. There's several criteria for it. Easy removal. keeping the dust in and providing a 'barrier' for objects flying around...
Agree with the issue of having a computer continuously next to it because of the parallel port and the fact that it's running on XP.
Arduino on USB is very stable and fast. The only downside is that...
Yesterday I took the dive and started cutting a small groove around the table to determine the necessary cutoff for leveling the table.
Was as I measured some weeks ago, just short of 2mm from...
Watched it again just now. That is an amazing machine..
Never thought to commercialize it?
Cheers,
Luc
Thanks A_Camera for your input, even though it stops here for you maybe, I'll still continue with the to-do list and see what works or not. Appreciate your time.. for me it sure wasn't wasted.
...
Well, the Key hanging board gets better, put my brother on the paintwork.. he's the artist in the family..lol

Just testing to see if you really are from Germany.. (you passed the test...lol)
Had a few minutes to finally cut up the hold-down clamps.
Now 4 clamps, will serve me very well I think..

The back side screw can be adjusted to stay horizontal with the stock it's...
Thanks Black Forrest, will get some video's done and get them posted as well. I'm not from Thailand originally though, Dutch.. Nachbar..Nah an die Grenze bei Vreden/Borken..:cheers:
Cheers,

A_Camera, I think you're pulling things totally out of context. I explained very clearly and I think very politely how I felt after your couple of last posts and the post from Roger brought, for me,...
Will sure do that Pirate..
Cheers,
Luc
Thanks for your support Roger, felt, still feeling, quite upset with how this conversation is going south..
Cheers,
Luc
hello Pirate..thanks for the comment, below the first tests with the key-hanger board.
It's done with a 2mm straight bit as that's all I have available that small. Waiting for different bits.
The...
I've explained why I used that breadboard, but will do that once more. The reason is simple: I could have spend many hours soldering and desoldering components or use the breadboard and change things...
Amazing machine, well done video as well. Thanks for shearing..(pun intended)
I'd like to add that from what I read on the forums here, I have the impression that 'proven and real' equipment gives equally as much 'problems' with limit switches and false triggers..I wouldn't...
