I built one when they first came out, did a couple of test cuts and haven't run it since. Mostly a noise and mess issue - thinking of adding a...
I have a similar need, although for much smaller and lighter items (under 2 oz). I was SURPRISED to NOT find any conveyor belt projects (yet)...
Anyone here build or even consider building a shell re-loader ? I know about the off the shelf - Hornady, MEC, RCBS, etc. machines, but I'm...
Hi Paul, welcome to the forum. I can't give "advice" as to whether or not the C-Beam plate maker would be the "right" choice or a "decent" choice...
@RomCorrea To ME that sounds like the motors are skipping. I would look for binding , or insufficient current to the motors. Can you issue it a...
Correct, it is only powering the 3 axis motors and whatever control board you use. The additional advantage of 24 Volts over 12 is that it...
@Jonny Norris I take your point - for some ODD reason I probably hadn't fully internalized the fact that if I am designer, drafts-person and...
I thought about it, but didn't want to deal with the whole issue of pump, collection tray, screen, etc. Not least of which is the Y-axis lead...
I can't find it in fusion 360. After hunting around for a while I asked in the forum, an autodesk employee told me it didn't exist and suggested...
Accuracy, precision, repeatability - as the old joke goes, pick any two. Here is an odd rounding/approximation thing I found with my C-Beam...
Over a year later, I only just got to this thread. It would be interesting (to me) to know how you solved this. i.e. was it about mating surfaces...
@Flash22 NICE !!! Just a thought; On my (standard build) I wanted to be sure I could get the X all the way out left and right to use ALL the...
Thanks for the idea on brushes, I will look into some possibilities for sweeping/wiping ahead. On the C-Beam plate maker it shouldn't be TOO bad -...
I agree that the second picture showing symmetrical cuts in this pattern '\ ____ /' could well be from pushing the wheels onto the end of a...
I also have some similar scratches/nicks/cuts/imperfections in a few wheels. Hard to believe it happened during assembly and I have certainly not...
I was also impressed with the packaging (of a "standard" C-beam hardware bundle). The individual packing into sub assembly sub kits probably costs...
I agree that the weight is CARRIED by the rails and I like that - I was thinking more of the INERTIA that it represents. More "m" means less "a"...
An "Interesting" amount of weight you have there. Have you found it necessary to lower the Y-axis acceleration to avoid skipping of steps ? If not...
I just got one of these; http://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-jaw-capacity-drill-press-vise-30999.html to mount directly on the Y-axis plate. Other...
