will cut some tonight but will have to slow it down to match the Y-Axis.

Results to report?

Results to report?

Not yet, I was a little under the weather, and starting back on it this evening.

Really smooth and fast Joe.

That's some great project! Very inspiring and well made

Here is a video of the machine running 360ipm. you can see the left leadscrew I need to return to McMasterCarr because it was bent.

the machine running 360ipm.

At that new speed a plasma conversion should cut very thin material quite nicely!

Joe,

I'm in, will be sending money for the plans this week!!! You are the man!

Hi Joe. I can source 40 X 80 T-Slot locally. Is 72" long effective enought to get full capacity? Are the plans scaleable for the 40 x 80 mm stock?

We use 50x100, the holes for the V-Bearings would need to be adjusted by 0.40", or use larger Steel angle rails to make up the difference in distance Also if you used the 40x80 you could be introducing some flexing in the X-Axis (gantry). I would avoid it if you can.

Hey Joe
When will Dumpster CNC Have anti-backlash nuts for the 8 start leadscrews.
Thank You

Hi Joe,

Have you had a chance to cut anything with the new leadscrews? If so, what are your thoughts. Were you able to cut any faster?

Seems another round of machines are being finished now.

Here is Bill's.

[Khalid]

Very Beautiful machine Joe and the movie is great too..

[Mick40]

Joe or Bill,

Would you mind sharing some of the improvements people have made on your machine. I notice an outlet near the router so it can be plugged in easily but, maybe you could share with us the stuff we don't see!

Nice job Bill!

[bkboggy]

I do want to know the whole outlet thing since you've mentioned. How can I attach one of those to '06 machine... hmm (not savvy when it comes to that kind of stuff).

[blackbeard52]

I did one of those conversions to add an outlet. it is quite simple. Mount a handybox (metal outlet box avaliable at HD for about $1) just above the router on the sliding plate. pull a piece of SO cord (heavy rubber extension cord 14ga.) from an 115 power source and run it along the y axis wire track, install an outlet and you are done. to make it really fancy you can add a 115 volt relay in the powersuppy box and control it with Mach3. If you are interested I could draw something up...

Doug finished his machine a little while back but has been busy with it and other things, so he went ahead and snapped a quick photo of his machine.

Hi guys,
I see you are using very long lead screws for the Y and X axis. Could you tell me what's the inner diameter of the lead screw (in millimeters) without the threaded channels, please? I'm going to build a large CNC (designed by me, not beautiful like the ones here) with similar size later this month, and I need some advice for the minimum diameter for the lead screw. I think about 20 mm inner diameter, and 24-26 mm outer diameter with the thread included.

Thanks,

Bobi
