It is super lightweight compared to a truss road. and since it's hollow and takes up a large volume, the neck ends up being much lighter as well. Side effect is a cool "musical" characteristic you...

No, my inspiration came from several luthiers with articulated necks as documented in a GAL article. And then a lot of borrowing from Todd Rose on this guitar
...

Curious to see more details on what you're doing with the headblock there? Does it make the neck adjustable? I've been making mine with a cantilevered fretboard so they can mount on an (adjustable)...

Cannot emphasize this enough. Treat that top like it's a newborn baby or maybe a mirror for the JWST. Keep dust off it and be VERY careful what you sit it on while working on the back side.

I use...

Tell us you don't understand sub-forums... without TELLING us you don't understand subforms..... :-)

I think you should be ok, there is usually extra length in the cables. You will probably need to mount the control and spindle box on the other side as well. If you mount them on the outside of the...

See my post above. Did you also hit the "reset" button?

Not even. Keeping it simple like the original design.

I've been a little unhappy with the plastic guide rail dust covers that come with the Avid pro machines. The problem is that my shop is an unconditioned steel building, so it suffers from temperature...

update: I figured out what is causing the loss of homing (at least in my case), as I accidentally repeated it last night:

1) Program running
2) Stupid me realizes the wrong bit is in
3) press...

It is not losing steps, this occurred in between program runs, had just jogged/moved the gantry to put a new blank on the table, then when I pressed run it informed me that that it needed to be...

I just encountered this today, twice. AvidCNC, running the 4HP spindle (it is NOT a problem with the spindle keeping up).

New Mach4 install (and computer).

Hey all, I recently upgraded to the Hiteco 4HP spindle, and since then have been using the supplied 20 and 30 mm wrenches that came with it.

However, this weekend I found I couldn't get the collet...

This just happened to my Hiteco on Friday. About a month old. Waiting to hear back from Avid, but I guess I should find a source for spare fans as well.

What Ger said, but also check to make sure that your collet is clean and doesn't have sawdust packed into the expansion joints.

Here it is (attached). Let me know what you think, I'm thinking I need to iterate on it a bit.

Sorry topotrev, for some reason I don't get notified about replies. Do you still need the STL file?

Ha, I just had this happen yesterday, with the caveat that I have modified my magnet connection a bit.

Check to make sure all wire connections are tight, especially where it is bolted onto the...

Hey all,

just received and installed the AvidCNC 4HP router with plug and play VFD cabinet. Of course, inside the cabinet is an electronic VFD, and I notice there is a "knob" (potentiometer) that...

Mine was around $3100 with the following caveats:

1. Also Got the leg kit
2. paid extra for full length "8 foot" rails rather than splicing old with new
3. Got it summer of 2020, before all this...

PS. Be sure to package and pad all parts VERY well.

Never underestimate what 1000+ miles of highway jiggling can achieve through rub damage on things (especially all your custom built furniture)....

I think I would one of:

1) dismantle ENTIRELY and box up nicely, build plywood crates for the long rails, extrusions, etc.
2) sell just the long rails and extrusions, and re-buy when you get...

Thanks Ahren, I kinda figured it was something like that!

Please let us know what you find.

Avid website seems to be down today. Anybody else noticed or have an idea what's going on?

I got all my connectors (m12, 4 wire) from automationdirect.com

As luck would have it, I'm getting ready to list my (partial) controller box build parts on eBay. I probably have most of the parts...

I have my cart on a long cable/tether, and try to move it away from the machine while cutting. DC on the machine itself keeps ambient dust away. I occasionally use compressed air to clean off the...

Agree with you the issue is not mechanical or your motors, I think that leaves only the stepper driver(s). But I think those are individual drivers (I am only familiar with the leadshine), so not...

I was asking about the hardware stepper driver.

Which stepper driver are you using?
