Mr. Owens, Don't you think that you might owe it to the people who have purchased your product to keep everyone informed about the release date of the Rotary Axis tool. Some people including myself are waiting patiently for a good tidbit. I've had my plus now for a year sitting in a classroom, and b...

I forgot to include that the finder has a 1/4" shaft on it...

I use the lazer edge finder from SDA manufactoring. At least that is where the reciept is from. I love it, but make sure you have an extra set of batteries for it. I found mine dead when I really needed it one time.

Converted from scroll saw plans. Had to remove some of the fine pointy detail where the 1/8" endmills would not get, but still looks great. All done mostly with 1/16" and 1/8" endmills. Project is 11 - 1/2" wide by 35 - 1/2" high. It took about 40 hours to convert plans from scanned images to vector...

Maybe it's just to early in the A.M. for me..

Thanks so much

What exactly are we testing when we do this proceedure below? The servos? Could you explain please. Still learning. Shipfitter One quick check to see if there is play in any one of the drive motors. is With the controlller on and power to the stepper motors can you turn the X or Y or Z worm drive BY...

I normally line up with the Y axis or slots. Table is pretty square to the gantry. Doesn't matter to much in my case because I do allow enough stock in the plate to accept any deviance. I do setup one axis or another though, just in case there is an emergency and have to align the material back up f...

Meant .070 . It's hard to get anything by some of you folks. :o Which is a good thing. The .70 cut reminds me when I first purchased the machine, and was not putting the zeros in , and couldn't for the life of me at the time figure out how come it was reacting the way it did by taking a 1/2 inch cut...
