If you can spare the time, I'd like to know all the details on your enclosure. I need to do this but have put it off for over 10 years for one reason or another. When I had time, I didn't have the...
I sure wish I could help, but I don't know anything about that controller. Did the seller not provide information that would help you setup and connect the controller?

This enclosure is undoubtedly one of the nicest I've seen for a Taig, especially considering it is shop built. I have no doubt, not being a carpenter or fabricator, how difficult this could be.

That's a really nice job.
+1 on the CRS. After I built my CNC it was 3 yrs before I had to go back into the guts and I was shocked to find it only looked vaguely familiar!
Of course, that...
I am using Xylotex boards as well and have never seen this issue. However, I'm using the older boards (6-8yrs old); are yours from this era, or perhaps newer?
I can think of several scenarios...
Thanks for the CAD files and all the effort. This is sure to help.
Keith, looks like a fun project! I too have been known to do things that would never be viable for commercial use or sometimes even worth the effort of making two! But, usually I'm more interested in...
I would imagine it would be something like:
In the beginning stages, you could hold the blank at strategic places with clamps in areas that are not in danger of being smacked by the machine. In...
I have gathered almost all the materials I need to build a 2x3 gantry router. I have everything but the electronics. I will get them when I decide on a package.
How would you actually start...
Thank you Spencer. I'd like to try to cut this some day. I own a couple MIM Strats and wouldn't it be a hoot to build my own!
Lynn
Thank you for the generous offer. Can you perhaps convert to an .STL file?
Lynn
Looks great, but how do you use this type file? I have Rhino, and 2 CAD programs and SolidWorks viewer, and none recognized this file type.

Lou,
This is good stuff. I've noticed that on all these different builds that have gone on, there is always someone watching closely as they are about to start their own build. This time it is me;...
Hi pepperwood.
I do have a Taig CNC mill that I have contemplated selling. I'm just starting to build a 2x3 gantry router, and I don't have room in my little shop for both. But, I have modified...

Great build and fabrication. I am in the research and planning stages and appreciate these build logs immensely. But there seems to be a predictable pattern in these builds and that is as the machine...
I ran across John several years ago on Nick Carter's yahoo group (Taigtools). I actually got the hand-drawn plans from JR and built his lead screw design into my Taig lathe. Very compact and eloquent...
Thanks for the update!
Hi There,
There is a lot of information at cnc4free.. the aim of the website is to list all the available free options to cover the widest possible area of interest.... This might cause...

Many thanks for kind words... would encourage you to take a look at the many free options... free software and a little skills development can go a long way in terms of broadening the horizons...
Personally, I would be leery of the PSI motor and controller. Why? Because I bought that upgrade kit for my Delta Midi and the motor quit (open rotor) about 1 month after upgrade. After 3 attempts to...
I initially purchased a lathe with a few accessories and have been buying and building some since. The prices for accessories from Taig (Nick Carter Tools), The Little Machine Shop, AtoZ CNC and...
I've had a Taig Micro Lathe II for about 5yrs now. No doubt, I love this little lathe! I too am an amateur and always will be. But, it has been great learning on this lathe, and I have modified it in...
