I had looked into it once but I forget what went wrong 2-3 times in a row but they had to turn them to get the brushes to run smooth (the armature I think). And that did not last long till it...

Brushes go regularly and replace them, then either the bearing goes or windings... I don't work on them any more... Took them in a few times and they wanted as much to fix them as they cost to...

Very interested in hearing what others have to say about using this system. With it being a modified router I am curious what happens when the router burns out, I go through 2-4 bosch routers a...

Joe:

Nice work ... you were moving so fast I thought for sure the parts were going to turn red. Nice Idea I am going to give it a try next time I work the largeplastic parts.

Joe I sent you a couple of emails on getting some of the vinyl... think they maybe ending up in your junk folder. Get you ping me with some cost information on the skirt vinyl.

Thanks I will it a try.

Thanks for the dxf's they look great, one I had. Would be nice to get a cute cub or one in a tree if someone has one.

I am easy preferably dxf, ai, eps, etc. JPG shilouettes will work as well. It will be inported in VCarve.

Anyone got a bear picture, looking for a mother and cub or a cub in a tree.

You can see pictures at www.cncmachine.phillipsfamily.ca. Pick the 2006 machine and build pictures are under ther. Check out the section Torsion box adjustments just over half way down. I don't...

I have additional bearings on both X and Y leads, Y being at the other side of the Z carriage, X being on the other end of the Y carrage box. I believe I was the one who identified to place the...

Any one got a picture of camera that would look good on a sign for a Photographer?

I would recommend you define small wood pieces and fine details. Every has a different representation of small :).

18" wow have you ever put an 18" drill bit in a drill and turned it on... starts to whip... one of the reasons we can use long lead screws on the machines.

Sorry you have to first select "Build out of the second machine" under "Machine Build Outs" on the main page. This will document the building of Joe's 2006 CNC machine. While you still need to get...

I had the same problem, while maybe not as bad. This was on Joes 2006 model and what I did was place an addition bearing on the other side of the gantry so it would stablize the rod. So I ended up...

The thickness is perfect. Actually it turns out that when you put the top wrench on the screw heads stop if from spinning so you are almost free to only operate the bottom wrench and leave the top...

This happened to me on two of my motors. I proved it was not mach 3 by switching up witch motor the axis was spinning. So lets say X axis is spinning motor number one and it stalls. Change mach3...

One thing to keep in mind if you are using a smaller dust collect it is not like a vacuum. This is what I have been told by the local store where I got my dust collector, if you reduce the size of...

As you are all aware I have had problems with my tool changer and with my new dust collector I no longer need it. I am going to put the tool changer up for sale. I have set a price for less than...

I have uploaded the information on the tool changer I am going to sell on my web page... once the information is gone the unit is sold... www.cncmachine.phillipsfamily.ca

That's it. Not sure if you did but I cut it down to the hieght of the main circle first @.31" (pocket the big circle). Then all you need is a new set of screws as the existing ones in the router...

Joe,

OK the problem... firefox and IE.... one allows relative paths and one requires direct paths to files. Going to fix that now... but
I think I need to fix this one to tell you a newer set...

To confirm I drilled the holes on the drill press... I did this becuase I did all my work with a 1/4" cutter which was to big to create the holes.

Sorry that one is a little confusing... sorry no good in the dxf, those holes are only representative of where to center drill so I can drill on the press afterward (you are right if you cut them you...

Some times it sucks in but that all depends on the length of the skirt. If the skirt is long enough to make a tight seal the legs will be pulled in, but if the legs are lofted over the surface as...

The dxf is based on the machine tool paths not really a drawing. I check the DXF it does contain the depths (use list on the line you will get back the z value). Description of machineing. Large...

The file should be in DXF format which should contain all the elevations of the lines. If not let me know and I will review. Probably be best to review the pictures with the drawing.

Correct me if I am wrong. I think you are refering to the mode I made for my router. Really it does not push the dust towards the dust collector it just stops the down draft from the router onto...

I think I have my T slot table built out on my web page. www.cncmachine.phillipsfamily.ca.
