I want to start by thanking everyone involved in making this happen. It works great!

Now, I want to see what I can do to extend this functionality to the X and Y axis as well. I have created a...

I have been pleased with the results being within 0.002" of models I have created in my CAD system. Certainly much more expensive machines can hold a higher tolerance I'm sure, but at what cost? ...

I've been looking for an edge finder solution for a 1/8th inch collet machine such as one based on a Dremel tool spindle or similar smaller tooling. Does anyone have such a solution? I'm currently...

It might be worth your time to check-out the Zenbot line of products. They are fast, inexpensive and accurate. The largest table length is a little shorter than what you are looking for, but it...

The Zenbot does indeed have roller bearings that roll along the square tubes. The bearings have an axle that is then a tight press fit into the HDPE. I've done hundreds, if not over a thousand...

Gratz on getting a new Zenbot up and going. I've been a proud owner of a Zenbot mini for a few years now. When I got mine, the mini was the only model offered from Zenbot and it didn't come with a...

On the Zenbot machine, the linear bearings are a bit difficult to take a picture of since you have to dissassemble the machine to get to where the bearings are. In short though, there are two square...

I can't take credit for that excellent video. That is something I found when looking for information on how to cut PCBs myself. I hope to do this one day soon, but have never tried it. The...

I imagine that this would be similar to milling PCBs as they need to be held down evenly, not just around the edges. The super glue can be released with acetone (or a flash of heat, from previous...

Woohoo, good job on the troubleshooting and repair. Glad to see you got it going right. Those projects you are working on are awesome. Can't wait to see more.

When it came time for me to purchase the electronics for my machine, I went with the Xylotex complete 4 axis kit. I wanted a good price and to eliminate the human error factor as much as possible,...

Lately, my biggest issue with losing steps has been associated with getting chips stuck in my linear bearings. My machine has roller ball bearings on a tube. The chips get on there, then bind up...

I looked at that MooseCreek machine several times before and was even ready to buy one, but he was out of stock when I was ready. Glad to hear I wasn't missing anything.

I too had a very bad...

The reverse is true too. Many times, Jeff doesn't get your email either. As far as I can tell, he is the only one, so if he goes on vacation, not sure what happens to customer support. I was...

I've been using pine 2x4 that can be purchased at the local home center. The premium wood is only about $3 per 10 foot board. For small models where you just want to test your code, it works. I...

I'm working on a small model that has a deep cavity (.63") and has fine details that need to be milled out at in the bottom. I'm having trouble finding the right tool for the job. Using a straight...

I bought those black pieces used on Ebay. You can see the rest of the kit in the background. It normally comes with several sizes to fit most any job. I use them on my drill press as well to keep...

Sure thing. I just got done cutting my first piece on the Zenbot. I went for the gusto at 100 inches per minute and had good results. I started with a 1/16 ball end mill, then finished up with a...

I bought mine with motors as well, but you'll still need a 3-axis controller board to run the motors. I have a Xylotex controller which has been good to me and is more than enough to drive the...

I just bought the Zenbot. It came in a couple of days ago and appears to be a good machine. I have not cut anything with it yet though. The biggest thing to consider with that one is that it is...
