I agree. I have an Avid 5x10 Pro CNC and like it though I wish I would have had the money to spend twice as much for a Camaster with ATC. But the Avid machine is accurate and makes money for my...

This is what I use for my HT subs and should work for you.

We build home theater subwoofers and cut 5x5 Baltic Birch plywood 2 at a time with our 5x10 CNCRP Pro machine. To me, I’m not sure if these are really comparable. One is a kit and one is prebuilt. ...

I didn’t like my older Shopbot due to the table being below the rails. Also, for the cost of a Shopbot, I’d get a Camaster machine instead.

I have a CNCRP Pro 60x120 machine in production use and it’s been great. Not an industrial machine but doesn’t cost like one either. But it has absolutely been making me money for several years now.

Another option to lead is epoxy granite, which many heavy machine builders have used. Search for “epoxy granite machine base”.

I have a 5x10 Avid Pro machine with linear rails and use it for my home theater subwoofer business. I wish I had spent the $20,000+ more for the Camaster Cobra, which would be a stiffer, more...

Thanks Gary! That sounds simple and effective.

I’m watching so please continue to share.

And I used their jig in a few places since I have a 10’ machine with no rail splices but my machine is not flat across its length. I should probably...

I haven’t cut much aluminum yet but I cut commercial HT subwoofers with my 5x10 CNCRP Pro machine with linear rails and CNCRP spindle. I would have had to spend over $40,000 for a better machine,...

So very cool! Thank you for sharing!

I bought a pair of 16’ long 6x6 posts and put heavy duty furniture dollies under them. Then I got a tilt back tow truck out to pull it up on the flat bed. Nerve racking but worked well.

Are you using one?

I have seen it and researched it about a year ago but I couldn't find much feedback on it. I would definitely consider it but would also need to feel confident it won't get out...

I use void-free 3/4" plywood, which is primarily known and sold as Baltic Birch plywood and is sold in 5'x5' sheets. I bought the 5x10 as I wanted to be able to cut a pair of 5x5 sheets at the same...

I have a 5x10 I use for production of home theater subwoofer enclosures. The only issue I have with the machine is it doesn’t have an automatic tool changer but I would have had to pay $40,000 for...

This is what the Separate Last Pass (offset) features in Vcarve and Aspire is meant to address. Usually on one of the sides of the Baltic Birch plywood I was cutting, I’d get a rougher cut and I’m...

Wow. Nice. Thanks for sharing. Was that a dry cut or did you spray any lubricant?

Nice! Steel? What machine(machine,spindle,base) do you have?

Some but it hasn’t been a problem. I also often use a tape gun to put clear 2” packing tape around the perimeter of the left and front, which ensures a good seal. But there re many variables such...

I cut into the spoilboard some because it is SO much better than dealing with issues related to parts not cut all the way thru. But that is a production mentality where I’m dealing with a dozen or...

I bought my CNCRP Pro 5x10 machine before the linear bearings were out and while I was building my machine, the linear bearing machines were released. I ordered the upgrade immediately so never...

If you’re looking at those sorts of rapid speeds, you need to buy a better machine, an aluminum machine will not cut that fast and probably won’t move that fast reliably. The aluminum machine with...

Thanks so much Andrew. Looks great! I've already downloaded and will comment when I've had a chance to print.

Love it. Had no clue where that thing was going and thought, how does he connect them to make a drag chain but now it is clear. Nice!

Can you take a picture with the drag chain support popped up...

I have several of the Bosch Colt 1 HP trim routers for trimming veneer as well as cleaning up parts. I also have Bosch 2.25 routers and Festool routers for general router work.

I also zero off of the table surface. And make sure when you surface the table that you ARE running the vacuum holddown system to ensure the base is flat and in the same state as when you will be...

I do fine and I don't have a relief valve. How do I do it? The sound of the motors, even through very effective hearing protection. But I would not run the vacuums with all zones closed as you...

I don't have a relief valve but that is possible, don't know. I just open another valve just barely if I need to give the motors a little more breathing room. In your case you could do that as well...

I remember reading the DIY vacuums usually pull 6-10” of vacuum though with your 4 motors you should be on the top end of that if not more. The main thing for you is to establish the baseline for...

You are on your own with that one!
