Where did you find it and how can I get a copy?

Hi all,
Where can I find the manual CHIMERA1960 refers to?
Thank you

Hey Don,
How has the machine been working? Any suggested changes?

Fred,
After 2 years how do you like this design? I am getting ready to make one for my extended X2.

OK I didn't think that one all the way through. :o

:idea: Now you need two pressure mats one on either side of the door. Then when the dog stands there the door will open and close automatically. :cool:

This one is on the high side but it has a keypad, which I like, and a built in track-pad: Duraflex Flexible Keyboard

The keyboard does not have either, but he uses a track ball along side of the keyboard. BTW he has the same monitor/keyboard stand that you do. He may have added a piece of plywood to it to give...

Michael,
I have a friend who has a membrane keyboard. The kind that you can roll up. He uses it on his CNC and really likes it. It seems to be liquid proof. Of course you are not going to be...

Hoss,
You sure have an eye for design and aesthetics.

I agree with Bob at 10000 ohms/cm you're not going to conduct much current but you can convey a voltage to the other end hence a good faraday cage to suppress the noise from you laptop power supply. ...

Nice. Your camera picked it up pretty well in the dark.

Is that a rattle snake :rolleyes:

Does Mach have the ability to handle a lathe turret like it does the atc on a mill?

Use the quick change tool holder and then you can design an ATC for us. :) Not like you don't have enough things to work on as it is.

This is very nice I am sure he will really like it. Hopefully he does not follow his uncles adventures on the CNCZone and will be surprised. :)

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the post Michael, this is good to know.

Mad,
I am curious about where you are going with the guitar model. I have a son that also plays a guitar in a band and I'm thinking your model might be a good gift for him.

Hoss,
How accurate are the parts coming out? Do they shrink any and you have to make allowances for that? Thanks.

Mad,
Think of it this way: the signal leaves the computer as electricity and is converted to light pulses by the BoB, the BoB then converts the signals back to electricity again and passes the...

Look how clean his hand is since he is not working with those "dirty milling machines":):stickpoke

Check out Hossmachine Homepage. He has some good information on his conversion of a mini-mill. The electronics would be the same. Also, I think you will find those motors to be much bigger (power...

And the "freaking" begins ... :wee:

And let the "freaking" begin...

Thank you HorridHenry, actually I need these videos eventually also.

Thank you Jess, this has the essentials of what I was looking for. I think I found the video, it was made by SwarfRat. But now I don't need to buy the video. My problem is solved.

Some where I saw a reference to a video on how to replace the spindle bearings on an X2 but now I cannot find it again. I believe the video used to be sold by LittleMachineShop but it is not listed...

Sure wish I had known about this thread back when Hoss was first writing it. It would have been fun to be part of the dialog. This along with all of his other threads and web site(s) are just...
