CNC Shark Forum

I have my heart set on making a wooden gear clock. I downloaded some PDFs, printed them out, cut them out, glued them onto some plywood and started using my band and jig saw. Then, after all of that work and NOT getting much of anywhere, I found a CNC Shark on Craig’s List 6 months ago, which I boug...

Thanks BillK. Good to know. Happens that I do have a spiral up cut but have not used it yet.

Maybe I should build a lip around this clamp to hold down as well as a side load.

Shouldn't require much of a lip should it?

The 4th axis is something that I have been thinking about for sure. Right now, 3 axis are challenging enough. I need to have some in-depth discussions on how I use the software with Kurt’s rig to make round stuff. Not near as exciting as a 4th axis is the clamp that I made using a logarithmic spiral...

WOW!! That is what I’m talking about!! I have been reading this forum for a short while but missed the shark tank articles. It didn’t take long for me to figure that keeping the shark is a necessity and with an enclosure to keep the sound down, it quickly becomes a challenge. Without seeing these gr...

Mostly this is for us hobby sort of guys that bought the Shark to make stuff for your families and friends but is for anyone. Yes, the CNC Shark is a tool that lets us make so many incredible things.

I suppose I could.

I'm not great at welding or CNC.

If anyone is interested, they could PM me and we can discuss.

Thanks for the suggestion Tradewinds.

Due to the holidays, aligning my router took a lower priority. But, I did it. Took quite more shimming than I originally thought. First I took some ¼ inch rod stock I had and welded it at a 90 degree angle. Double checked the angle with 2 different speed squares. The bottom piece is 6 inches long so...

Thanks McBuster and Rod.

I'll try it and get back to you with the results. I was thinking of making the horizontal some 3 or 4 inches to really square it up.

I'll take pictures.

Thanks Dennis.

I'll look for it.

TAW Welcome to the forum. I’m also a new member and got my Shark HD Pro some 8 weeks ago. My wife was not impressed with the money I spent but after she saw some of the name plaques I made for the grand children and super hero logos I made for the grand-sons, she is convinced that it will be worth t...
