Does anyone have a model number for the pop up pins ger21 mentioned?

Jet tools makes a cart at JET | Scissor Lifts for Warehouse & Dock . I think this could work for you

I do not know about 50 sheets at a time, but there is a cart made that would hold 10-15 in a vertical position. From vertical you can tip it horizontal and lock it in place. You then pump a foot...

This was a GREAT video, I am looking forward to part two! I am no expert but the machine looks great too.

I recently purchased a TIG welder with a water cooled torch. Everyone told me to NOT use antifreeze for a car. The welding stores sell an antifreeze that is recommended for TIG torches without the...

One quick thought about a laptop. If you search on this forum you will find many problems with laptops, they typically run 3.5 volts and a desktop about 5. Some of the controller boards cannot...

I do not have the RS485 interface in use so I really no knowledge of this area. But when looking at the screen shots provided the "Relay control - Clockwise M3" value is set to 3 and the "CCW M4"...

One way to get a point on the table would be to mount a laser in the router, then jog to the point needed. Or better yet to mount the laser pointer to the Z axis a known offset from the center of...

Looking at your material storage I would put one or two cross braces. Murphy's law will be proven when you want a piece from the storage area and it is on the bottom!

Gerry,

Thank you for the quick reply.

For half blind dovetails, I have a manual machine made by Alexander Dodds with 12 spindles on one inch centers (maximum depth drawer I can cut is about...

A quick question.
If the bit is long enough and since the pieces are mounted vertically can you set up more than one piece at a time to cut?
This would be a great saving in setup time and the...

I am new to the CNC world, but am I way off base. Why not extend the gantry sides down below the table and mount the ball screws there. They would not collect as much dust or shavings.

I have been looking on the web for a Tig welder to weld the aluminum gantry parts when I came across this link:

Aluminum can be cut very nicely with a chop saw or table saw. Get a blade made for cutting aluminum, usually a 5 degree negative rake angle. Goodle search "saw blade rake angle" and there are some...

There have been many posts with multiple arrangements about using cables to keep the gantry from racking. When I get to building the gantry I will put a cable system in the same as the "Paralex"...

A nicely put together machine and 4th axis. I would be interested in seeing your gcode to cut dovetails. I assume you are making 1/2 blind dovetails with your vertical jig, but then you could make...

If you are going to use a shop vac. I would get one of the small cyclone (5 gal bucket) kits that go in front of it. They really work!!! You will not loose suction as the shop vac. gets used.
The...

If the side rails are level (but warped) clamp a small piece of 10 gauge on each side and the ends. Have the top edge up a little more that the highest point on the warp. Then fill with epoxy and...

They look like they should work fine. The one thing I would check regularly is the spoil board around the nail hole lifting a little. After a while with many holes the lifting could change the "Z"...

Also look at the manual for Mach3. I could not get a subroutine to work properly until I saw in the manual the the "Oxxxx" line can not have a number sequence on it. Took off the "Nxxxx" from the...

Not sure if this is the one but in the right hand corner of the screen there is an "Ad List" hot spot, click on it and then scroll down to the superPID advertiser. Click there and it takes you to...

I recently purchased a small cyclone (Onida Dust Deputy) to place in front of my shop vac. It works great, may not have to clean the filter for years! This model sits on a five gallon bucket. I...

I could be wrong, but the setup for the AC servo looks to be a lot simpler that that for a DC servo or stepper. If I am incorrect I am sure someone will let us know. I do not know how you put a...

Here is a relatively inexpensive set up tool or a mill.

Pro Tram System

I found the web suite because they advertise on the forum.

I have been following the thread with some interest as I plan a system very similar with similar hardware. Has there been a resolution to this problem?

I am not a expert more of a novice, but facing a similar problem (my design will have two spindles). If you want to have a cutting width of 48" then the gantry must be largerer so that either the...

Here is a link to the cyclone on eBay (I think). He has two sizes, I bought the small one, the shipping was quick, well packaged and the quality of the cyclone was good. I have not had the time to...

Placing a chuck on a router spinning at high speed would not be my first choice. I would contact this company, I believe I have seen there link on the forum here.

Good luck.

This company has some very interesting solutions; however, they are expensive for home use. Maybe you can get an idea or two.

Here is a suite with many interesting possibilities, they are NOT cheep solutions. Maybe you could get some ideas from them.
