The Y-Axis carriage is 20" long, you can still make them, just split your file in half, here is a sample of how to do it.

Hi Joe
Thanks for the reply and video,
i was in fact meaning the 4x4 machine, the side of the main carriage look like they are larger than 12x18?
thanks

Hey guys, what's the problem? I thought by now we would be having new videos uploaded every day. There were people three months ago that were about through with their machines and were going to upload some videos. Are you not taking any videos, just not sharing them or not using your 4x4's? I'm anxious to see some of the machines and improvements that have been made. Everybody loves to watch the videos. I'm buying a piece here and there and hopefully I can get started on my build fairly soon.

thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,

As someone making a smaller version of the 4x4 I keep a close eye on the forum and can let you know there are very few videos taken on it and most if not all of them are posted here. There are quite a few mods been made by various people in their builds but most are very subtle that you probably wouldn't notice them unless they were pointed out to you. The homemade rail grinder I designed for my 4x4 has already been posted on the Zone for others to use on machines of their choice. Also the V bearing shown in the last photo are homemade and are currently undergoing testing on my Z axis to see how they holdup before I continue with the rest of my build.

Hope you start your build soon.

Well I finally found some good vinyl to use for my dust skirt, comes in 8" wide roles, I can get allot more if anyone wants me to get it for them.

Using the Dust collection it does not suck up into the hose as much as the carpet runner does. Here is a video of it in action and when lowered showing how much flex it has when dust collector is on and when raised it goes back out.

It is held on with Velcro for ease of removal.

YouTube - New Dust Collection skirt

I'd be interested in some Joe. I'm cutting lots of balsa and plywood and the dust is horrible with the carpet runner. It just gets sucked up and doesn't stop hardly any of the dust. PM me with the cost of 2-3ft and I'll paypal you the $.

Too busy working and cutting to get video

I'm extremely happy with mine. I've been cutting mostly models with mine. I run my 2006 and 4x4 at the same time and it really cuts down on the amount of cutting time. Just wish I could make my 2006 as fast as my 4x4...

Here is another scaled down version to a 2x4.

He can easily expand it later if desired.

[Buzz9075]

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.

[zaus1978]

i sent you an email asking how i go about ordering a 4x4 kit. also wanted to know what all comes in the kit. other than steppers and electronics what eles do i need to build it

[GibbonsRock]

That 2x4 downscale sealed the deal for me. I don't have the space for a 4x4 machine, and I was juuuuust about to buy the original Joe2006 kit when a local CNCzoner talked me into this version.

Now begins the oh boy oh boy oh boy phase. Ebay had the 8020 in stock, I know to call Rick at superior bearings for my V-groove, the next stop on this clickfest will be boltdepot. Did anyone successfully set up a Joe's Hybrid kit-specific package at boltdepot?

Thanks in advance! -Jim

[gfc62]

Welcome aboard Jim. There's a link to a Bolt Depot cart on Joe's site.

[joecnc2006]

The support forum has a whole wealth of info and recommendations.

Just checking to see what is your(anybody) opinion of this kit to go on the 4x4? I'm trying to use the 25% discount on ebay while it is still good. Every little bit helps.

thanks,
Doug
