Awesome! Thanks for the links. This is great information.
Hello world! I have a custom 1000x1250 CNC router built on C-beam using delrin wheels, OB plates. 8mm leadscrews for the 1000mm axis and a belt...
Awesome! Congrats. It's a great product.
Awesome - thanks!
Can anyone recommend a 1/8" collet for the Bosch palm router? I have a few of the 1/4"-to-1/8" reducers, but bits keep slipping down resulting in...
@Mark Carew Could you post the F&S and endmill specs you used when cutting the XY c-beam demo plate? [MEDIA] Also, how did you handle chip...
Yes. But if the axis is rotated, then it moves down at an angle. Even if the spindle is pointed straight down - mine is - the Z is still...
Just the 90-degree blocks connection the OB router mount to t-nuts in the c-beam. I can adjust the router mount relative to the z-axis c-beam, but...
I'm talking about clockwise/counterclockwise rotation when viewing from the front of the machine. (See terrible PhotoShop art attached.) The X...
What kind of tablet? There are different apps available that’ll save the page. On a PC it’s as simple as File|Save. You’d still have to do it...
Wow - that's cheap.
Looking at something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Aquaculture-Hydroponics-Aquarium-Compressor/dp/B01DN8CZ7G/ But it's a little...
Just using the airbrush (while holding it) mostly works, but it's borderline. I'd prefer something with a little more oomph. I may have an old...
For the X axis, you can flip it over so that the lead screw is on the bottom rather than the top. For the others, some have had luck making a...
Sure - I can adjust the spindle easily. But, if the Z axis is at an angle to the gantry, it's going to move more like an escalator (at an angle)...
Okay: This IS about tramming the Z axis. On my 1000x1250 CNC router. It is NOT related to my minimill. Hopefully this clears up the confusion....
Hi Rick, Thanks for the response. My post wasn't very clear - this is on my router, not the mill. C-beam long axis, big wheels to support custom...
Thanks, but my question is about adding an adjustment mechanism.
Any advice on methods of tramming the Z axis? Mine is custom, but it's very similar to the Z on the minimill and the c-beam machine.
So, rather than cutting a "slot" that's the width of the bit, leading to chip cloggage (not a real word), you're cutting it 50% wider? That makes...
