I dont have a CO2 laser yet but I have been looking for this info also. I have been a member of this FB Group a while. Maybe you will find an answer here:...

Hey Cstmwrks, could you send me your Mach3 XML? I have the PicConvert and its giving me some issues and I would like to compare settings.

Dont know what your overhead ceiling construction is but a guy built a small gantry system on a rail to load his machine. It was on here a few years ago. It would pick the sheets from a pile leaned...

Hopefully this is a quick one for a guru..

Buddy needs 3/16 acrylic cut with a 20deg edge. He has given me a 20 deg, tapered endmill, 3 flute. At the tip it is 0.125" with a 0.500" depth/cutting...

I actually did end up 3d printing one. I will see if I still have the STL for it (on an old PC) an upload it somewhere.

It was great at keeping the router exhaust from throwing chips and dust...

:D I will buy the spray. Closest thing I have to child labor is a nephew with the attention span of a gnat, lol.

Maybe I could get him to do it if I told him "NOT" to do it?

I have the 4824 machine, I noticed the same dust on 2 of my 3 gear racks. I have always ran it dry b/c of dust concerns I have read about. So I contacted CNCRP and they got back to me super quick...

Nahh, I think I wrapped it in cardboard, locked it in my vise and used a hacksaw (cut close to the vise so it doesn't bend).

Ok, dont judge me, lol... I'm super cheap, save everything and needed some pins in a hurry so I used the steel shafting from an old inkjet printer..

I made it out to the garage today and powered up the CNC. First I want to say thanks guys! Sure enough the problem was me releasing the [ Shift key ] before the [ Arrow key ] for rapid mode. What a...

Ok, I will give this a try next time I have the machine running. It makes total sense because I do use "rapid mode" with the Shift key. I will have to try and remember to release the Arrow before the...

If I understand you correctly. Position wise its moving and cutting fine (1" is 1").

Its more like the keys are sticking (software side not mechanically).. I press and hold the [ Right Arrow key...

Jogging is occasionally running away, no pun intended.

I jog the machine using my Wired USB keyboard, it stops when I jog the axis in the other direction. Seems like its only happening when I jog...

Can't tell whats going on with your pinion, your right side looks to be the same clearance as I have on both (1/8" ~ish). I would pull both sides and compare the parts.

I like what ya did with the...

Yeah, me too :(
Finished building it in January and still haven't broke it in. Saved up extra coin for the Pro instead of Standard for months too..

I actually installed mine incorrectly also :p

The steel rails are not cut exactly the same lengths, this is why the bumper mounts are in different directions. After reading that someone with much...

Yup, Blue stuff on it all.

I'm in the US and the best price I have found thus far is $39 for a (.500" x 12" x 24") Polycarbonate Sheet.

Anyone know of better prices online? Maybe a random Ebay-er that sells offcuts I should...

I also wanted to be able to clamp vertically. I picked up a 48" piece of 1/4" thick, 1.5" aluminum angle and some extra roll in t-nuts to make a bolt on extension for the spoil board out the front....

Ditto.. 100%..
Although, I didn't get $1200 in before I backed off the "scratch build" idea, probably close though, I bought a good pile of crap :p Thankfully, I was able to use most of the steel I...

I got mine from Orange also, I told the wife what I needed and she actually found them. Price wasn't bad at all, hope that they work well. I didn't have any 1/4-20 bolts on hand that were clean...

I'm looking for opinions more then answers, this could be done a handful of ways I guess..

OK what I am going for is like the attached picture I found. I already have the first layer of 3/4" MDF...

Oops.. I put mine on upside down also.. I think this confused me.

I do see at the bottom of the [2D Contour] "Linking" tab, Positions "Predrill & Entry".

Here is my (Face) last tab. (PicBelow)

I guess you just cant change the starting point of a Face...

Where is that exactly? window/tab?

==========================================

This is what I have been doing..
1. In your MODEL workspace create a 6x6x-.75 box
2. Go to CAM workspace, click...

Yes, when I RefAllHome the spindle moves to the same corner as pic1. All my arrow keys jog and DROs count/go in the correct directions. When I load Mach3 roadrunner it shows in the Mach display...

Ok, I just finished assembling a CNCRP 4824 thats how newb I am :wave: I am trying to learn Fusion & Mach3 with no previous cad or cam experience besides Sketchup and 3d printing. I apologize in...

Anyone make one and willing to share? I could even 3d print one if that is what you have. I would like to avoid re-inventing the wheel if possible.

I just finished assembling my first machine...

I just welded up a base for my PRO 4824. The width has to be 49" max b/c of the way the V-con rails and E-chain trays mount to the bottom of the side extrusions.
