Love it and the idea. Looks like the label from a 390ml coke bottle. Very interesting. I must give theis a go as I have a friend who is a Coke nut. Collects anything coke. I think it would be his...

I to toyed with the idea of doing a zero tolerance plate but in the end it was not easy to do.

The adjustment to the knife is what all the demonstrator did because as you stated the...

Just saw your post and thought i would comment. I am an ex demonstrator for Triton. The problem is with the knife. If you remove it from the slot you will see that it has a small grove the...

Hi daniel

Yes the show was great, espeacially with AusPlas there this year. The floor space was bigger than Sydney last year but comparable to when it was at darling harbour.

Yet again some...

Nice job crowie.

What paint did you use? I was going to make something like these but didn't know what kid safe paint was out there.

Very nicely done :2tsup:. Another great machine from you. One can only druel over such a fine specimen.

Mick

Hi Jason

Nice machine you have there:2tsup:. Hoem built or bought? What size, specs and if plans are available?:roll:

The question you have with regards to the dust is 2 fold. First is the type...

Sounds like you have done a lot of thinking about what you want.

I agree with the 300mm Z axis as the height. Anything more would be a waste due to cutter length.

I have seen a machine where...

Thanks Dan.

I'll turn around from my desk and shout over the great distance of 10 feet to let you know when it arrives so we can have a good look at it.

Hi to all.

I have just purchased a second hand Epilog laser cutter/engraver :U. It is still in working order except that the power has diminished and now takes 4 times as long to do the job :no:....

Geoff

Thanks for that. I just tried it but when I go to the checkout it redirects me to a page giving the Australian Distributors contact details.

I registered with the website and downloaded...

Great offer. I have just downloaded the file and am about to install it. Can't go pass the price but when I go to the Alibre website store it diects me to an Australian distributor selling it for...

Hi Guys

Well I visited the shed on the weekend and found that my table was no longer flat. It seems due to the extreme heat we have been having the table decided to sag in the middle by abount...

You are very observent.

Yes it is formply. To cut a long story short I have been waiting 13 months for a concretor to complete a job he had promised. I got jack of waiting and his false promises...

Thanks

It is suprising just how simple it is to build. I had read his web site, downloaded evry page and video as well. Studied the plans for numerous hours working out different dimensions...

Hi to all

I finally got some more time in the shed over the weekend :2tsup:.

The table is side of things is now finished and I have recut the gantry sides following my stuff up. I have...

Hi

I am currently building my first CNC machine. I live in Nowra but regularly travel to the RAAF base at Newcastle for work.

Will help if I can.

You can see my build under 2009 the time to...

Thanks for the encouragement Simso.

Geoff, I don't think you are going to save weight with this design if you are planning a trosion box. You must be looking at heavily modifying the design to...

Geoff

I think it is neccesary to use 2 sheets as to give to table strength and sone rigidity from flex. I am using 20x20x3 angle and it works.

You will end up with over hang from the angle...

Thanks for the kind words.

I was able to get out to the shed again :D and do some more. I have now fitted the angle to the 2 pieces of 18mm MDF to make the table.

Even though I drilled the...

Hi to all

I've finally started construction of my CNC. I have had the plans for a long time as well as a lot of the components just never enough time.

Finally I started the construction...

Warwick

The easiest answer is YES it could be used fro a basic CNC machine but I would think the accuracy would not be the best looking at the slack in the chains.

With some design changes and...

Bob Thanks for that and to you and your family Merry Christmas and a great New Year.

If only you knew someone close by that had a mig welder, maybe you could ask aroud and see. Surely someone would be willing to let you borrow it.

Mick

Chris

Well done and the pics look good.:2tsup:

I have the plans for this and have started cutting my components. I have thought about it and re-designed the table to be a vaccumm table.

How...

well we all live and learn from our mistakes as well as others. At least you now have the rails and if anything can sitn back and look at the grand scale.

Sounds like you need to get on your knees...

Hi

I agree with using a chamfer bit and the router table to get the 45 degree angle.

The best way to make the box is to build the top and bottom as one piece, then on the workcentre set the rip...

Hi to everyone.

As an ex demonstrator for Triton I feel I can shed some light here.

Visit www.triton.com.au. Here you can click on the contact us tab. You can fill in a querry form and select...

Dude

Weld the tabs on then bolt the legs to it. I personnal would use a mig welder rather than an arc welder as there would be less chance of structural change plus a cleaner weld.

Just my 2...

Hi,

With regards to the backlash I have heard of people using the Delrin but with a tweak. What they do is to thread it onto a piece of scrap thread rod, then using a blow torch heat the rod so as...
