    Re: how do you protect your cnc PC

    I built a box that the computer lives in. A fan pulls fresh air through a car filter from the back and out the front. I originally was going to have a plexi cover over the front, but turned out I...

  3. Re: Super-PID new low-cost router speed controller

    Well I'm sure everyone has an opinion.

    I found the Porter Cable 690 a good choice for my needs. There was adequate room on the top part of the router. I have a small lathe, so I was able to...

    It sure is.

    I've been using a Super PID for years now. I am a very satisfied customer. I highly recommend them. The router runs much quieter and cooler. The vac system is much louder than the router. I...

    Re: DIY Clamping Methods?

    I made some clamps from scraps. Wood is a lot more forgiving then steel when you crash into it with your end mill.

    Re: Super PID contact info?

    I've been using the SuperPID for years now and would be very disappointed if they went out of business. It's a great product with no other equivalents on the market.

    I did go out to their site...

  10. Re: 80/20 T-Slot Aluminum Extrusion Series 30-3060

    Well my guess would be the H-Y is Home for the Y axis and so forth with the X and Z. I personally would not use these switches for homing due to their lack of repeat-ability (I use a Hall sensor...

    Re: Ball screw Z Axis opinions

    The diameter of the ball screw on the red one is 16 mm vs 12 on the other one. The red one will move 16 mm for every rotation and the other one will move 4mm. You will get a higher resolution with...

    Electronics case

    In ref to your electronics case, if you removed the drive bay hardware, you would free up some space. It is just attached with pop rivets, which can easily be drilled out.

    Re: Broke 1/4" straight routerbit

    Does this bit have a cutting edge all across the bottom?

    Most of my work is small, so I keep the IPM down to the 30 IPM range, the speed in the 10K range and I ramp down to the cutting depth. I...

    Glad to hear you got it figured out.

    The Super PID is an amazing addition to a DIY CNC. The way I have mine set makes it totally transparent when I'm using the router. I specify the router speed...

    This Makita router has a built in speed controller. Have you removed or disabled it?

    What router are you using with it? A couple of pictures may help.
