I used to have a Kramer that sounds exactly like the one your talking about. I sold it to a friend at work whose father used to work at the Kramer factory when they were made. Very cool Guitar. Check...

I've been looking for a model of a Les Paul Archtop, but a PRS is cool too.

Jason

Cut3D from vectric.com will do this no problem as long as you have a model. Check it out.

Jason

My question is- How heavy is that guitar? I know when I play for awhile my guitar gets HEAVY. I couldn't imagine playing a gig with that.

Jason

Actually the way I think of it in my head is the cutter is cutting a "pocket" with a V shaped bottom. In other words, the bigger you scale the design in VCP, the deeper th cutter will go to create...

Maybe I'm nuts, but I've been a machinist for 20 years and X positive is to the RIGHT, and Y positive is AWAY from you. If you take your left hand and make like your firing a fake gun (your index...

I just checked the website, and it is a 24VDC 5.0A Power Supply. Will mess around with the Mach3 settings and see if I can get any more out of it, if not I might have to look into a new power supply....

Not sure, whatever the plug and play kit from Xylotex is set at.

Jason

Thanks! It petered out before it got to us. We just got 40 MPH winds and some massive downpours. Didn't even lose power. Now I have to get everything out of my garage so I can play with my router!
...

Thanks for the info! I will mess around witht he settings after the hurricane blows through here and let you know the results.

I don't think its my computer. Its a 1.5 gHZ with 1 gig of ram. The screws and nuts are really good.(thats the first thing I checked.) The weight of the gantry I'm moving is probably part of the...

I'm not sure which version of Mach3 I'm running. I'll check it out tomorrow. I bought it about 1 month ago. I was expecting to get alot more speed, especially having ballscrews/nuts, linear ways,...

Just out of curiosity, what speeds should I be getting out of my setup? I have the Xylotex 4 axis plug and play setup with 5/8 5 TPI ballscrews and the 270 oz.-in. motors. In mach3 I have the...

Thanks Jerry and Robbie!

I just went there with one of the wires that came with the plug and play kit, and Home Depot had the SAME EXACT wire.The numbers on the wire are:

CAROL (R) 18AWG E2034S 75C E60233-8 (UL) CL3R...

I bought the Xylotex plug and play system, but had to make 2 of my wires a little longer to be able to run them through my cable carriers. I questioned Jeff from Xylotex on the type of wire and was...

At 75 IPM it starts to miss, I moved it down to 60 IPM to give it a safety zone and no problems.

Jason

Hey guys! Thanx for the help, I got it moving around! I had the velocity too high. I forgot my dial indicator at work so I will check backlash tomorrow. Again, thakyou!

Jason :)

That would be awesome! I'll download Mach2 when I get home from work. Can you send your xml to [email protected]? Will let you know how it works. Thanx!

Jason

When you say "lower the acceleration" do you mean the feed rate in Mach3 or something else? Sorry for being dense.

Jason

Gerry, you snuck in while I was replying. I was under the impression that the Xylotex was "plug and play" and that I didn't have to do anything. I will figure out how to do that when I get home (i'm...

yes, I've set the motor tuning. I have 1.8 steppers, and 5/8-5 ballscrews using 1/8 mode with the xylotex so the motors should be 200X5X8=8000, right? This is the first time I've done anything like...

Hey everyone. I FINALLY got my router built!!! I am having trouble with some things, and I need some help. First of all, my router is a moving gantry type made out of aluminum with ball nuts/ ball...

Revtech,

I have VCarve pro, and have not found one thing that I couldn't do with it yet. In my opinion, the best software one could possibly have. Also, If you get stuck trying to do something,...

I've been building my machine for 2 months now, and have about 2 weeks or so before it will be all together and running. I'll post pics then, so keep your eye out.

Jason

As far as plans go, I can't really help you. I'm the opposite of you in that I looked at some DIY plans and then sat down and engineered my own machine. But the best general advice I could give is...

How big are these square to round pieces? Do they have a hole throught the middle? The reason I'm asking is because at my work we do stuff like this all of the time. We bolt down the piece to the...

YEah, I guess, but the OP says he wants to "make some small boxes", so my mind went right to rectagles. Good point tho Gerry.

JAson

Couldn't you just use the pocketing wizard in Mach3? Or am I missing something?

Jason

VCarve wizard 3.0 which should be out sometime in late June has the ability to leave tabs in place wherever you would like at whatever thickness you like. You can then just cut through the tabs with...
