I managed to implement Mel Earp's idea of swapping the lower 40mm v-slot rails for 80mm. It worked perfectly. I now have a working travel of...
Sale at Open Builds part store today! I bought some 80mm linear rail to implement Mel Earp's High Rise mod. I'll report back when it's done.
I made another run at 6061 aluminum. This time with a new Kyocera 2 flute 1/8" up cut endmill made for aluminum. Things went much much smoother. I...
I think C Beams definitely bring more rigidity. As far as dense hardwoods...I'll be milling out some Katalox next week. That's getting up there...
I had read about this as well...and decided to go ahead and invest in some better electronics up front; mostly I was worried about troubleshooting...
Well I spent some time milling aluminum today. That was an adventure! What I learned: when people so you have to go slow with these...
Indeed, I'm going to do Mel's mod here...and swap the lower X-axis spoiler supports for 80's.
It does make sense Tom. You know you have much of the same concerns I had before I purchased and built the kit. I figured I would double belt...
I used a chip load chart with 0.003-0.005" for an 1/8" bit in hardwood. Feed rate = RPM * #flutes * Chip load. So, Feed Rate = 20000 * 2 *...
I don't think anything was misleading. Just something I didn't realize in advance. The fact is, the Ooznest kit is perfect for first builds....
I think that's a pretty good idea...changing the front and back lower 2040s to 2080s. It doesn't change the relative rigidity of the...
Just an update on my build: everything is working quite nicely. There's so many things to like about the Ooznest kit and build...and I find more...
I used 18x50 along the Y axis, and 18x25 along the X.
Getting things fine tuned now and starting to produce some usable goods: side panel replacements for some Moog synthesizers. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Yeah, its lighter than some of the smaller routers...with better much better runout, and really very quiet. My power supply fan is the loudest...
Thanks Ryan. The spindle weights 2.2kg. The weight really drove the selection. It's the lightest of the 1.5kw's air cooled ones. The only...
I'm just getting my Ooznest OX build running. It's a 1000mmx1500mm version. This is my first CNC machine, and the Ooznest kit is perfect for that....
Hey Tim P.: Your build looks great. What are you using as a spindle? I just got my Ooznest OX kit and am slowly getting started on a build. So...
