Hi Martin, I am planning to use the TB6600 Stepper Motion Driver/Controller paired up with NEMA 17 motors. I have not , as yet decided what to marry up with my Arduino ... but, at the moment, I am looking at the CNC Shied A4988 DRV8825 Most of these components are quite inexpensive .... so I feel I ...

Thanks Martin, I think, because I have never attempted to do it, I am a little nervous about the final part of getting the creation to actually perform.. I have been reading and watching various reports and videos... I am slowly building up my skills by following, and constructing for myself, fairly...

Hi Phill05.
Nice surprise.... a few years ago I used to work in a textile factory located at your postcode.... at the bottom of Derwent Street
I live in DE6
Will send you a PM

Thanks Martin, The prototype started life as quite a simple mechanical/electrical device to do a load of "kerf" cuts along the length of some shaped plywood.... and somehow expanded into a full blown CNC. I am O.K. as far as the mechanical/electrical bits and bobs but I feel I have a lot to learn ab...

Hi,
Just a quickie .... why is the time shown ahead by one hour?
Or am I dreaming?

Hi Everybody, Currently I am building a prototype CN machine. I have two questions .... 1.....Does my current licence fee allow me to prepare files for two machines? 2 ....Has any member any experience of controlling a home build cnc machine? I am a considerable way, time wise, from actually doing a...

Hi
There are several good videos that demonstrate the use of onsrud router bits for acrylic
Just Google it!

Very nice piece of work I especially like the way you have machined the bell pivot ... this really does look good. My one problem ... are you sure that callers will know to operate it? Is it sufficiently "touch sensitive" enough to overcome the urge to pull the rope to ring the bell .... or does it ...

Obviously as a second operation

Yes it works .... but what is wrong with using a good old fashioned drill press for countersinking?

John ... I wish it was as simple as that

John ....Just watched enough of the video to tempt me to have a go at this technique ...problem is ... I will be laid up for another five weeks with my foot.

Thanks John ... food for though! My workshop is quite small so if I go for "Lasering" it really has to be a "bolt-on" option .... If I had the space I would most likely go for a stand alone machine. I am a hobbyist but do take things quite seriously ... and the cost of good equipment is not too limi...

Hi Andy,
First question .... how thick is the finished article ?
Once we know this we can make a start.

Hi everybody, Being laid up at the moment ... broken bone in my foot! I am thinking of spending this downtime investigation the possibility of adding a decent bolt on laser to my " Heitz High Z CNC Machine". I would appreciate any help. I do not wish for anything too cheap and cheerful but value for...
