Shipped, my victim should be getting his getting his stuff by Wednesday.

Got some movement!

Sometimes the stars align and sometimes one star says pound sand to the others. Well tonight was a pound sand kinda night. I got my gears, rails and last piece of rack in, but the wifey had a doctor's appointment and the little guy threw a temper tantrum trying to put him to bed so I could work...

I seriously want one of these. These are gonna be back logged once hit the market. I've already started a tool fund for one and figure about two years. Hopefully by then the bugs will be worked out and some folks on here get some experience with them.

Making some progress, slowly but surely. I took the y rails into work last Saturday to drill and tap the rails. Broke one tap right towards the end. Cheap tap and high powered tapping arm don't always go together. Spun a little alignment tool for my center punch on the mini lathe. Worked well...

Pretty mad at myself right now, I got busy with life and completely missed sign up....Still excited to see what members come up with

I've made several thumb controls for the Vulcan protig it's easy. Take apart your pedal there will be a switch and pot, 10k I think but it's been a while. 5 wires 2 to the switch and 3 to the pot. Amazon has a pot kit that is micro pots with a switch in it. Wire it up, 3d print a house and now...

Well this was a fight against equipment last night and a fight against a lack of ambition this morning. We have a large Marvel Cnc bandsaw at work that is a ******* child of the Amada take over. It has some issues even though it's only a few months old. The roller bed is leveled and the saw is...

Well I got some work done on it yesterday that I wasn't planning on doing until next week. We have a rule that you can come into the work shop after hours as long as there are 2 people for safety reasons. I didn't really have anything to work on but the guy who asked me is a real good guy so I...

Well not to let f150skidoo have all the fun although I will be blatantly ripping off part of his design, Ive started a 4 x 4 plasma table build with a rotary setup on the side which is actually yet to be fully planned out. Ive been taking my usual approach of design and build as I go and hope I...

Those cuts turned out awesome. I don't know how I missed it but I love how you did your Y axis rails as slotted bolt ons. I take you did that to eliminate any twist and warping from welding

I'm budget building mine, so import linear rails, avid cnc gear racks and drives. I'm going to do some machining to make my import steppers work. I get a discount on waterjet time and material from the shop I work at. I'm also going to rob all of my electronics from my little table. Otherwise...

This table is absolutely inspiring. I'm blaming you for the hundreds of dollars that have left my wallet recently as I've decided to do a similar build. If you don't mind sharing, what do you have into this build. Ive been bouncing ideas off of our resident mechanical super genius at work and...

I was afraid you were gonna say something north of a $1000. I'm torn between doing it with a laser or slipping one of the machinist at work 100 bucks and having them drill and tap everything on one of the haas.

Just out of curiosity how much did it cost to have your box tubing laser cut? I'm planning a build really similar to yours and just trying get a rough idea for pricing

We'll get to tapping because I cant wait for the next progress update. Seriously great work, I'm going to borrow some design elements from you, especially the laser tab idea, wish I would have thought about that. Which software route are you going?

I was looking at the open builds black box and their cam/cad software. Looks very interesting. I just haven't found anything solid as far as a torch height controller. That's been a part scrapper for sure. Any material warpage pre and post cut will scrap a part real fast

What are you running for your controller. I've running an Ethernet smoothstepper and mach 4. I'm not the biggest fan of the setup and am considering going to pokeys57 controller.

309 wire and tri mix but 75/25 should be fine

I made one similar to this and sold it yesterday. The guy asked for a custom one so I made this and before he left tonight he was trying to pre pay for another. I been selling these dirt cheap only 30 bucks so I don't make much on them but it gives me something to do and put some money back into...
