Im looking for help determining what these 4 to 1 belt gears are worth. Any guesses? I cant seem to find anything online like it to compare to. Thanks
One of the better diy machines I've ever seen. Congrats!

I have a question regarding which motors to run machine.
I just purchased an acorn board. I am now trying to decide between dmm dyn 4 or clearpath servos. Is there a clear difference between the...
Thanks. I never welded before doing this frame. I rented a welder. Nothing special but this machine will be plenty for what I'll be doing.
I can tell you this. The maker space I am a member at bought a used indutrial machine for around 6k one year ago and have now spent a year fixing everything broken with it. The linear rails were shot...

That bookcase was made from gluing, bending, shaping. Not any special tools per se.
I attached a couple images of the actuator with side plate and carriage removed.
Thanks for your input. Indeed it is fully supported. It's linear rails supports are machined from same piece as back plate. It's rated at 168lbs side loaded. I paid $150 for it so I'm not committed...
Hi there,

Hi there, I was looking for help/ suggestions on what size and type of linear rails to get for my diy cnc router build. I'm building a mechmate router. Im making it very heavy. The base table is made...
