Thank you. That's exactly whatI needed to know.

Alex

Great thanks.
Could you also tell me distance between the legs? Website shows 880 x 665 but this is including the motors. I'm interested to know what is the distance without the motors.

Thanks,...

What is the footprint of 2200L?
I need to build the table and need the dimensions.

Thanks,

So if I buy the 6040 barebone + G540 + 48V/7.3A power supply and instead of spindle + VFD I use Bosch Colt router would this be a decent machine?
I know Bosch Colt it's not the same as spindle but I...

Hi Everyone,

Thank you Tom.
That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi all,

I got a Bosch Colt router that takes only 1/4" collet. Is there an adaptor to use 1/8" collet as well? I have quite a few bits with 1/8" shank that I like to use it.

Thanks,
Alecu

Most of the small CNC machines have the lead screw under the table right in the middle, between the rails. If I use 20mm THK rails on my machine (28” x 20”) is it a bad idea to position the lead...

Thank you Mike,

I'll do that.

Hi all,

I wonder if it's possible to use limit switches as home switches?
I have 6 switches: 2 for each axis. Is it not possible to have some kind of macro that when you want to home the machine...

Actually I found the problem. In mach3 software I had pin 2 and 3 switched.

After I bought the pro kit, half way down the road where is says in the instructions to do a voltage test (that was before the drivers were soldered), I applied 12V from a different power supply and...

Tim,

Where did you get the screws (5/8 8tpi acme, part number?)? I also live in Canada and I need some for may CNC.

THanks,

Here is another pic, before I attached the MDF table.

I live in Hamilton, Ontario so it's a different Princess Auto.
The rods are 5/8" from Home Depot (~$10 each). The sleeve bearings are oil impregnated. (I found that next day after I left them on the...

You have a keen eye. Yesterday, when I assembled the machine I reversed (by mistake) the back plate of the Z axis. If you check with the drawing you'll see what I mean. It was corrected last night....

This is my first design of a CNC. I bought a few months ago, plans for the Rockcliff machine. When I was done about 50% I realized it's too limiting for me, so I start my own design (my own design is...

I've found Lovejoy couplings from Princess Auto in Stoney Creek for CAD$7.97 each, and brass sleeve bearings from www.bossinc.com in Hamilton for ~$2.00/each. I didn't want to make this thread...

Actually there is one nearby. I'll go check today. Thanks.

I decided to build the Rockclikk cnc machine.
After looking for some parts, I decided to buy the bronze sleeve bearings and motor couplings from McMaster Carr.
I've placed the order on September...

Thank you for your info.

Alex

Are there any stores in Canada for bronze sleeve bearing (equiv. to 6391K415) and motor coupling (equiv. 6412k11)?

Please and thank you.
