The tape is really great for holding many things you wouldnt believe. our co uses it all the time.

Ive been watching but not keeping up with things here, I like the new look.Its looking good. Youve done a lot of improving for sure!!
Just to let you know that instead of clamping your rack to the...

any normal router bit will do. You can use soapy water. All it is is plastic.
Use a 60 v groove bit or a round over etc. any Sharp bit will do.

Ive done mostly wood, but i have tried aluminum and plastic and corian. Works fine for all of those. If youre using a 3 1/2 hp router then you can cut a little deeper with each pass. I use a 2 1/4 hp...

My first successful attempt at using my router CNC Machine.
Started with a jpeg of a girl. My friend helped with the artwork. I found some barbwire and vectorized it and the letters are just one of...

looks like youre doing fine to me. Good start as im just starting also. Thinking outside the box always makes for creative art.

Good Job

the one at work has a side mounted hose and you can also buy "flat" (rectangular) flexible hose. ive seen it at home depot. its about 1-1/2 high by 3 or 4 " wide. maybe that would work. I don't know...

yeah ... this one works pretty good, although i had to buy a better brush than i wanted to.($35.00) this one doesnt collect shavings or dust like what i started with. I started with using 4" "chip"...

its not that good . I see some of the stuff they do that put mine to shame.(grin) Im gonna try the e-chain one next i think when i have time. Im almost understanding the software.
anyway, where do...

well heres the sign and another thingy . Im still learning how to use the machine, but its not too bad so far. These were done in aspire there's a closeup of the barbwire i did with vextractor(and a...

Ive been pretty busy preparing for our move in June (Ca to Arkansas). There's just too much to do!!! Im doing all the wifey things and still trying to play with the cnc machine. Im not winning the...

Im not going to build one that fancy. I also want to be able to watch the router bit and be able to zero it. I think that one is just a little bulky for me. It never said if it was delrin or not. You...

Yeah thats what happens when you have a mighty machine!!!(Grin). I had the same problem. really messed up the z axis. Thats why I went to 1/2' plates holding the router. Im gonna post more pics after...

Mine is 1/2 " aluminum. It works really well. The original Alum was only 3/8' and wasnt going to hold up to cutting thick stuff.

Thats what im thinking too. Ill just make a rectangle one with the hose in the front and itll work fine. Something like this should work for you also. I measured mine a few minutes ago and i can go...

I found a couple of good ideas for the dust collector hood. Im going with this design. Its so simple. Ill bolt on a side piece of metal and make the hood adjustable. I dont know if youve seen this...

How come you have more msgs than ME!!!! I feel Neglected!!!(grin)
Hey, its looking better each day. Im still messing with mine and havent cut out anything of value yet, Reading some of your msgs, i...

looks pretty good if i do say so myself. Its efficent and practical. I LIKE IT!!!
I thought about paint brushes also but they seem to be only "one way at a time". Im trying out a spring loaded...

what type of brush is that on your dust hood. Im in the process of designing a dust hood myself, but cant find a lot of info.Yours looks like it might work for me.

I like the mirror ball as that will make the machine run smoother. I tried the fuzzy dice but they kept getting caught in the e-chain.

that was pretty exciting!! You just never know whats going to happen in a game. The dodgers had a great one also. bottom of the 9th.. 2 outs and 4 runs behind. They hit 4 homeruns( i think) and won...

we were in vegas this weekend (superbowl) and it got pretty rowdy at the hotel during game time. Still it was a lot of fun. But back to my train of thought. I won a little over 2000.00 dollars and my...

Its looking good now. I think the new gantry will be plenty good and stiff. The new mods should get rid of a lot of slop. I still have a slight, but noticeable little shift in my gantry sides. Im not...

Today I leveled out my main surface on the table and am ready for the spoiler board and start playing. I had to tweak my machine after all the messups i had before when i thought i knew something....

yep sounds like the right way to go. Ive seen a couple with the rack on the back. It helps stabilize the z on some machines. Mine being 10" wide wouldnt be affected as would a thinner gantry. Just...

looking great! i would fill the tube with foam also to quiet it down. It will echo if you dont. Just drill about 3- 1/8" or 1/4" holes in the side to let the foam expand evenly and just shave or cut...

Ive been on the cambam site and i see the e-chain cb files are there. Since they are already done, do i just convert them to gcode and theyre ready to run or do i have to change them somehow? Ill...

Bragging rights is what made America great. Id like to see that come back.
I still havent planed off my table as i havent had money enough to buy the bits. This next week(after the pouring rain...

Thanks Ill give it a try. I see on Cambam, they have the e-chain files ready for gcode. Im going to try them once i figure out how to set them up.

Amana has a 2 " bit(1/2 shank) i ordered today. Pretty good price at 56.00 bucks.
