Hello Stephen,
...

I have shipped a lot of item to Canada, and many of them were extremely heavy, but not heavy enough for freight. It is certainly the sellers fault for shipping in a box like that... If I were to...

Drp,
Now you can get it setup and if the mood were to strike, help splodger cut parts for his first machine(what a way to break in your new machine)

Just my suggestion, I know if I had someone...

I have a calcomp 1025 plotter that I am trying to make work, but am not sure what cable to use. I have a 24 pin to 9 pin rs232 cable, but that doesn't seem to want to work. I also have a 24 pin...

I recieved the kit yesterday, it does appear very easy to assemble. I am going to practice my soldering before I do the board. I do not forsee any problems. I just have to make sure all of the...

The final machine(third) is a long...

I just purchased the hobby cnc 4axis kit, so now all I have to do is build the router. I have a couple of large projects to do before the router, but I am planning on building an entry level router...

Thank you, that cleared up my questions for the moment. Once I get the kit I will probably have some more. Stephen

I am about ready to order the kit, however, in the description 35vdc recommended, but the transformer recommened is only 24v? Is there a different transformer that should be used? Thank you
Stephen

I am a newbie looking to build a cnc machine, but have been trying to determine how difficult it would be to assemble the hobbycnc board myself. I can build anything out of wood, work on anything...

Having worked with Medex several years ago(they might have made it better), it took about 6 months for water infiltration. But once it did it swelled pretty well. If I remember, GER21 is right, it...

I am going to be building my own machine based on the same principal Hack used. I am reading this forum night and day and have learned a great deal. When it comes to programs I am lost.
