How do you post a picture in this area?

Hi everyone, My wife is the computer repair person in my house. She went into the device manager and in the printer port window ,she opened up the resources tab, under the I/O range, she took it off...

My wife says the port address is correct. We checked all the ports & pins settings too. I don't know what else it might be.

Can anyone help me get my router to move? I have a K2 CNC using Mach3. My old laptop computer (IBM Thinkpad)has been working fine for a few years now, but it is getting old & some days it won't even...

I have a cnc router (K2 2514)that uses geckodrives in the controller. They have a nasty habit of going bad on me.(3 times) There is a G201for each axis. Is there a more heavy duty model or version...

I finally got around to programing & cutting some real 3D features. Kiya is my dog's name. Thanks to Ron Liboon at K2 for helping me get the Mach3 program to run long files. I used a 1/4" ball...

There are 4 main places to start with. My first impression is thet your machine itself is not ridged enough. with a light duty machine, a light finish cut may not keep enough pressure on the part to...

Hi Toolman, I use mastercam & prototracks at work. We have some computers set up with MC8, some with MC9. We also have some MX2 & AGE 3 prototracks. I'm not sure what the M3 control is. MX2 is nice...

Here are the pic's of the dust shroud. I still need to enclose the back. The parts are made I just need to glue the bristles to it, & drill & tap 2 holes in the main body of the dust shroud. But I...

My dust shroud is about 3/4 complete.
here is a picture of a mahogany guitar body being cut.
I made the router holder so a K2 dust shroud won't work.

The dust shroud will slide on, and...

Mike,
It probably wouldn't work because I made my own router holder to mount on the Z axis. I sketched up a dust shroud & I'll start making it this week. When I get it to fit & work, I'll post a pic...

Jim, thanks for the advice about throwing out the dust masks. I will also make a vaccum shroud around the router bit before I cut the wood.
Here is the completed Purpleheart Bass Guitar
Mike, I...

Mike,
Very nice looking. Do you also do the truss rods & the frets?
I don't know how to get the large pictures on the web page like you did.
What's the trick?

Here are 2 photos of a bass guitar in the process of being built. the first pic shows the body cut with the hollowed out resonance chambers. the second pic shows the neck pocket cut with the neck in...

Actually, Greg is the luthier. I'm just a cnc woodworker.
I guess the photos won't load tonight. Maybe it'll work tomorrow.

Here is a picture, I think

Very cool Mike, I still need to make a vaccum shroud to collect the wood dust. My partner Greg & I will be making a guitar using cocobolo wood, & I hear that you don't want to breathe that dust. How...

Just out of curiosity, what size is your K2? Are you using Mach2 or Mach 3 to control it? I have a 25 x 14 " travel, and am using Mach 3. It took some getting used to, but I'm getting a little faster...

Switcher, here is a picture of your DXF file design 32, and a picture of it cut out of wood.

Hi Brad, can you give me an idea of what you are looking for. Large parts or small, simple or complex, tight tolerences or open tolerences, a few different parts or many parts, low volume runs or...

This is a bass guitar I made on a K2 2514 using Mach3. Drawn on Mastercam9
Wood is 1/4" purpleheart over 1" Cuban Mahogany

Hi Stitchlips, I'm not sure what a sherilne 5000 is. I assume it's a mill. Anyway for cutting soft material like wax or soap just get some high speed 2 flute end mills. A high RPM cutting speed will...

I would say there are 3 main things to consider. A milling machine will probably be more rugged than a router, since 1 is designed to cut metal, & 1 to cut wood. A mill will have a slower spindle...

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I am a Tool & Die maker living in Rochester, NY
I have always liked woodworking, & I bought a K2 CNC router to help a friend build guitars. I use mastercam & Mach3 to...
