I've posted over @ RFQ - thought I'd set up here too.

The items to be manufactured will be less than 8 inches long, each end splined. One end having 41 splines, the other end has 17. A bearing ...

CLOSED THANKS!!!



Greetings folks -
I've been away for a while - Left the sea, Returned to Active Duty, Deployed to Iraq and back, and haven't turned my machine on in over 3 years--and now it...

600 grit sandpaper? Acetone? Just a couple of quick ideas. But the tumbler idea might work - but would get all surfaces, including the edges.

Had a minute - I had to do a quick check to verify....

YIPPIE -- Yet, another AC Ace/Cobra look-alike.
Mind You -- Nice approach using the tools, machining, engineering, and approach.
Yet why not do something original?
Obviously there must be/is a...

Download seems to be working now.
Interesting and simple to use. I note that the stepover is equal to the bit diameter.
Would it be better to select from a range of stepovers based on bit diameter?...

Welcome aboard! You'll find heaps of friendly folks here willing to help out.
And the simle answer is; "Yes You Can!"
For that size the 48 inches -- really consider using Rack and pinion for the...

STLWork2 IMSERV (They're on the CNCZone I recall). May still have a demo available. Less than $100 (again as I recall). It has some built in tools - and you can specify your own, will do...

kustomKoncepts!
Cool (PUN INTENDED!) Stuff. Fargo is my old home town (and 'SU grad too) -- but I am now FROM NODAK! Makes me sorta an expat -- but always glad to see some good old Hometown Genius...

Do a search of the mil sites.
For example the USAF logos (were) downloadable - may need to scale and move into vector... here is an example -- Google works wonders:

Tool Cabinets, trophey cases -- always nice when the "Shop-Kids" give something to the school - but they probably already thought of that ;)
Cheers - Jim

Welcome aboard! Sorry no answer to your question -- I'd bet there are a number of folks that are familiar -- but there is a lot of traffic on the CNCZone - and maybe missed it? or,...

Hey mike2768 --
Any details on the machine your friend has? Maybe even its brand-name would be helpful.
There are maybe a number of brand specific codes - and if thats what you'll need then might...

xtraex - Welcome aboard!
I am frequently in Langkawai (but now in US -- may get back this year --- maybe in several). Another member is in JB [he wrote some hot wire foam cutting software] and...

I'm real lucky - SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) LOVES to organize stuff. SO annually she redoes my storege in the shop/garage. Because she knows how pitiful I am, after she puts them in the boxes,...

Adam - Is this sort of a UK-thing??? (No disrepect - I like the idea and need something similar - the fold up -- I get 1/2 my garage back!) I write that as another 'Brit member was working a similar...

First - Welcome aboard!
Second - Congradulations -- the computer driven disk selector - sounds like an updated JUKEBOX -- is that the plan??
When you find a printer and start the build - please...

First - welcome aboard!
Very clever adaptation - and the pricing looks fair (but then again I am no wirehead! SO what do I know ;) )
Your board is the interface between th eUSB and the other Driver...

Cindy - aka dilly
No Worries.
I understand "shoestring." My machining of CF tends to be drilling, cutting, and trim work - pieces after demolding and and fitting. I just use a hose. I try and...

Those are really SMALL pieces you are looking for -- Try Freeman Supply - see if they have some RENBOARD/tooling board in a sample pack -- they did a few years back and were just 'bout that size -...

dilly -
First - Welcome aboard! This is probably the most friendly and helpful forum on the web!
Second - Some of the members here have CF experience - so you may be at just the right place! (If...

STLWork -- not free but has a demo. ;) About $125 as I recall. Seems like you have a range of choices.
BTW -- Let us hear how you like DAVID. Good thinking - ahead. Find a processor for the...

THAT IS PRETTY COOL!

Just kinda wonder what he is using for the needle motion - what sort of speed up/down and how he codes it.

Like the approach for 2D foam work! Thanks for that! Looking...

Have you tried "swapping"the wires from the controllers to the motors? If it does it -- opposite(ly) maybe a set up problem -- If still the same (A side) I'd guess the motor.
That won't get you...

You could always -- not pull it apart (even a little).
Use glue blocks, say 1x1 inch (or 20x20 mm - whatever is convient) and re-enforce from inside the corners.
That way it will have a larger...

1. Generate the CAD drawing
2. Save as an STL File
3. Launch STLWORK
4. Pick tool ( as I recall you can make it a round-over bit too)
5. Generate the G-Code choice of X-Y, Y-X, or waterline (it...

Looking good!
Will be watching/waiting to see how the pneunamatic control to tension the wire (as it heats up and sags) works out.
Man-in-the loop for control I guess. But gotta be better than...

Glad the "nudge"was helpful!
Cheers - Jim

PS - Pics of the "final"would be a nice follow-up -- TIA

From a "mechanical design" point of view - looks like you're (re)creatting a record (player) recorder! ;)

I'll add that 8020 is widely available (through their "garage sale site - excellent priclng) and they are fast and friendly shippers!
Cheers - Jim

originator:

your post had me scraping up old memories from ergonomic/HF engineering days:

You might consider adding a "relieved/rounded" edge all around (well, not the bottom or base). ...
