Its great to be able to go see someone machine that is built and see it run in person. You have to love the DIY world.

Just thought I'd throw this out there and see if there are any CNC'ers near Portland, OR who could cut out the MDF for my Joe's 2006?
Joe is still cutting kits for the 06 in addition to the 4x4, just email him.
Excellent, I thought he wasn't doing the 2006 anymore.
Sure is, I believe he still cuts a few kits a month for the 06, they are still popular.

Yep, I still have the half of the 1/2 x 8 TPI x 2 start (18" or so) plus other odd ball left overs, over purchases - 10 or 15 1/2" spring nuts and some 1/2 bolts ( 1 or 1 1/2" IIRC).

I am interesting in your design. I think it will work. If you start to build this model, please imform me and show me.
Would anyone care to email me a copy of their dimensioned plans in pdf format of the 2006?
FYI, I have all the other files from cnczone.com that have to be dimensioned thru CAD software?
If I could figure how to use the CAD software, I could design my own.
Most CAD software only supports xp pro or above and I have win98.
In other words, I am looking for a set of plans that are already dimensioned and easily printed like JRGRO did with his plans.
Since I currently do not have a CNC router,
I might be interested if a person would fabricate the mdf parts for a nominal fee.
email me : rzerk at usa dot com
thanks
Joe is still cutting 06 kits you should send him an email. There aren't dimensioned plans persay but there is a PDF and autocad drawings for the machine and parts to be cut and machined.
Hello rzerk
You can use Auot CAD 2000 and 2002 software with your window. if you want some pdf file, I can give some pdf.

Joe,
Are you still selling the kits? If so what is in the kit. Is it the MDF and HDPE parts only? Does it include the aluminum angle (drilled and tapped)? I have to assume it doesn't come with the pipe since you can get that just about anyplace.
How about all the hardware, bearings and what not?
Matthew
HAR THA, can you email me the .pdf at [email protected] please, i'm also wondering what comes in the kit for the 06 if anyone knows.
Hi All:
This is my first post here--but I've been lurkiong for a year or so.
I have built a "Lionclaw" Router (works well) --similar in most respects to Joe's, but a bit lighter duty. I have a "Skew" problem. Did a "345" check and have noticable error--I remember that somewhere in this Thread, there is a technique for coping with this problem--but I can't find it.
Does anyone know how I should go about "Squaring the Axies" or can lead me to the Posts Discussing it???
Thanks very much

I think thus is the one you are looking for.

I live in my own world, but that's ok they know me here.
I'm going to cut the parts for a Joe's 2006 kit for a friend of mine (using my own 2006... that I built from Joe's kit). I located the .dwg files, converted them to .dxf, and have them almost ready to cut... using Vectric Cut2D.
But I can't locate anything that has dimensions for the depth of cut (for the various slots, pockets, etc. that don't cut completely through the material.
Does anybody have some idea where to find these "Depth" dimensions? I suppose I can try to measure the parts on my own machine... but it would be nicer to have the actual numbers....
Thanks!

I think you can measure them in the free Solidworks viewer, if you download the Solidworks model.

Thanks Gerry,
I'm embarrassed to admit that I never looked at the Solidworks model while I was building my machine. It would have been SO helpful... if I had only known about it.
Now... I've got the free eViewer, and can look at the whole machine, or individual components, can rotate them in space, in side, top, bottom views, etc... but I'm darned if i can figure out what it takes to activate the "measure" tool... under the Tools menu.
No matter what I try, the "measure" tool stays grayed out. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
-Taylor
I've never tried it, so maybe I'm wrong, and you can't measure it?

ok found this in an old email, this will help some.
here are the pictures with areas marked.
yellow = 0.15" from surface (deep)
red = 0.25" from surface (deep)
blue = is all way through.
