Ok so I finished up the enclosure a little bit back. Just now getting to update here. I decided to go with a curtain system instead of Plexiglas. It actually gives me a lot more room to get...

Happy New Year everyone!

Sorry for the delay in posting. With the new year and Christmas I have been busy with the family. I did get a little bit done. I got the lower flange completely built...

Oh yeah that sucks. I did build it where the table runs all the way to the side. It only has about 2" from the side wall and It goes all the way down. I ran it each side and down to the extremes...

I plan to use some pieces of extrusion I have laying around. The channels that are cut it in are 1/4" so I plan to put some 1/4 Plexiglas in the channel and they should just slide freely. I have...

Yes my home is all zero in my DRO and everything else is negative at that point. I am only touching off on my soft jaw cause I am trying to setup for production in the future. So I need one fixed...

Mactec54 thanks for the reply. I am not sure how else to change this. Here is the process I use to setup everything.

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to CNCing, just to get that out of the way to start with. I have spent the last month getting to know the lingo and what does what, so please bare with me a little. I...
