I still haven't tackled the task of installing the top, but it seems if I had to tighten from the bottom, that could be quite a task for 1 person to get under the machine on the last panel (maybe...

I happen to have a perfect piece of cold rolled steel that worked perfect, but I think as mike2768 said, try a socket to tap it in with.

Can someone help me out on the settings for Mach 3 for the 281oz motors and the leadshine MX3660 combo.

Ports and pins are pretty much ok via the leadshine XML loader, but I am guessing that is...

It looks like the MX4660 has an extra bank of inputs/outputs. If your not using the VFD on the MX3660 maybe that could be used????

So top mount is ok (vs using the 2"x2" rail underneath)? It would be so much easier to install from the top.

Very good! Gives me a visual idea on how to mount the aluminum top. AND a way to use wood scraps as clamps!

Success! A two wire e-stop must have the "low" option check on or green in the pins and ports menu of mach3.

I found this obscure thread in the New Zealand section!

I have two wires, so I will check the active high /...

Anyone have issues with the E-Stop causing an error? Mach3 loads the MX3660 profile succesfully.

I have checked the pin/port - 15
When I active the switch it blinks the motors and such on the...

I've contemplated those same brackets, but the unit once assembled is VERY heavy and it would be very awkward to install those. Plus the holes would have to be pretty on target to match up. George...

Thanks for the brackets suggestions! Worked great! Just need to figure out the easiest method for attaching the slotted aluminum panels and my build it complete and ready for testing. The 2'x2"...

Hockey pucks worked perfect!!!!

Thank you for the suggestion!

They are persistant! I keep getting phone calls and emails.

Interesting and creative! Very good! Thank you for sharing!

See the attached picture. The green feet on each corner. These look great, just haven't found them online yet. I plan on resting the router on a 3/4" plywood bench.

What are people using for the feet on the Raptor? George said the threading is M8, I see some rubber bumpers and on occasion elevator bolts, but is there something that works or doesn't work? Too...

Let us know! I see on the Tnutz website they offer a "slotted" version (on one side) as well. Might be a better option for a little wiggle room.

I understand the braces in the middle have to be ordered. 1x3 or 1030 and the Mounts are 6 hole button head M6-12 threaded.

Yeah, you will have to supply mounting bolts and brackets of some type. I figure each panel needs 2 bolts for each side (4 total for each panel). The panels are cut the 30" direction not the...

I haven't "turned" mine on yet (waiting on a Z axis shim George said I needed to prevent "binding" of the ball screw), but I have wired the power directly to the PS and the Leadshine based on this...

I am a newb! Is there a simple step by step on how to assemble the table top? Like by X by X dimension railing and use X 1/4-20 T-bolts (correct length??) and slots every 10" etc... I get it is...

Will the flash be able to be performed by the end user?

Looks like an edge Finder using a routine through Mach3 and the tool tip like a Z-axis height tool does. But act now while supplies last. Your right, lots of marketing speak.

I found this...

Ok, I am a complete newb to this, but I have a normal regulated switching power supply. For the AC supply I realize a simple grounded plug with black going to L and white going to N and green going...

Ughhhh, I was looking all over for something like this so I didn't have to waste time designing and making one myself. I ended up getting something off ebay though.

Any pics of the final assembly?

NICE setup! Clean and organized! Gives me some ideas for my own!

I'm ready to jump in the world of CNC Routing! Placed my order this evening for the following:

Is that table setup an option? Very nice!
