I use the mill for many different things, mostly rapid prototype development for jewelry and other art forms.

Thanks, send me a PM and I will get you the BOM & diagrams. I used 80/20 bust I understand there are other 80/20 "like" materials that can be used out there.

Many thanks for the help and ideas I received from the members here, I completed this a few weeks ago but hadn't got around to posting pictures. I like the way this enclosure turned out, plenty of...

Just received notice that the materials arrive Wednesday, I'm a little nervous trying to think of what I may have missed with the design.. to many "what if's" will drive one crazy. Pic's to follow...

Glad to hear your up & running! Don't feel bad, I made the same mistake. I keep pictures and screen shots of the entire default set up in case I screw something up. It's pretty much become second...

I'm not a Mach expert but it may be a control interface issue. Did you install the "lock down" version? For some odd reason I had to un-install and re-install a few times when I first set mine up.

Just a thought, but I purchased an old Dell OptiPlex GX260 PC Mini Desktop P4 2.0 Ghz 1 Gb Ram 8, Win 7 & Samsung SyncMaster 710T 17" Flat Screen LCD off of e-Bay for about $60 to run Mach3. Works...

Ok, this is what I have come up with so far. If my material estimates are correct it looks like I might build this for a little under 6 Benjamin Franklin's.
I already have some of the acrylic here....

I'm curious, is the space above the doors open space all the way around and the top enclosed?

That is one sweet enclosure. I am considering building my enclosure with 80/20 Quick Frame material. The enclosure is 5 sided with transparent ¼ poly and aluminum frame (I'm having major problems...

I want to enclose the TAIG mill (pic's attached), any suggestions or recommendations? Pic's would help. Thanks

Many thanks for the help, I have a handle for now :)

Thanks for all the help, we are squared and tramed!!!

Light weight, not like some of the other vises I have that drain "X" axis movement. Nice work and clean design.

Thanks John, makes perfect sense.

First of all I am new to CNC

I recently watched the second video support for Mach 3. I was trying to see if my soft limits were set properly and hone the system... now I am really confused!

Jason,
Can you provide some additional info for how you attached the clamp to the table?

I ended up purchasing this clamp: Vise, 3" Screwless, with Hold Down Clamps - LittleMachineShop.com

Jason,
I'm looking for a vice, is this the one you are currently using?: SHARS Precision Toolmakers Vise 5" New | eBay

Thanks

Jim

That's what I ended up doing, appreciate the feedback.

Hello,
