Thanks for the pix. Nice way to mount the Bosch!

Alan KM6VV

The mount is different from the website picture.
But itā€™s better.

That one have a mount for a dust removalā€¦ !

Thatā€™s the website pic

Nice mount. Iā€™ve switched routers, so now I need to make a new mount. Seems like theyā€™ve done this one right.

$54, maybe Iā€™ll just buy oneā€¦

Thanks,

Alan KM6VV

Yesā€¦ sure you can make one.
But at that price.

What would be the cost of the aluminum parts ?

I just go to the garage, and pick up a piece of stock.

Whatā€™s aluminum going for nowadays? $2-3 a Lb?

Probably a $2 cuttoff of 6061-T6, if you have a local metal scrap yard.

It would take a while to hog it out.

Question is, will it fit on my mill Z axis? Holes? I donā€™t have a drawing to check outā€¦

Alan KM6VV

Just ordered some 80/20 extrusion.
They will be assembled to make a top plate for the CNC

1" X 3" X 25" extrusion X5
Will give me a 25" X 15" surface

That should work. Although a grid of 10-32 tapped holes might be more useful.

Alan KM6VV

Yes that plate will remplace the present aluminum plate that is 12x15.
I will add a MDF plate with hole over it.

did that one that can handle 12x18 or 12x12 sheet.
With insert from the bottom.

So is that carbon-fiber on the bed? Any problems with the dust? Toxic??

Alan KM6VV

No Noā€¦
I canā€™t afford a 12x18 CF sheetā€¦ Would need a new mortgage on my houseā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue:

Itā€™s a 1.5mm G10 fiberglass sheet.

And also need a Dust systemā€¦
Any advise on thatā€¦ ?

On the new motor mount there is a place for a ā€œRodā€ to adjust a dust collector

I bought a surplus portable vacuum, and attached 1/2" poly tubing that I can get up close to the cutter.

the sheet looked black, and I saw black pieces in the background. Youā€™ve been busy!

where do you even buy carbon-fiber?

Is your current model the one youā€™ve posted on?

Iā€™m a ways off from doing anything. I want to see the NAV stuff work first! Even then, itā€™ll probably go into a RoboMagillian first!

Looks good!

Alan KM6VV

there is many place to buy CF sheet.
Didnā€™t buy anything yetā€¦

the G10 sheet is black yes.

I have likeā€¦ 8 different model nowā€¦ lol
Those things you see are mostly try for the CNCā€¦ Not selling anything yet.
Until the CNC is back ā€¦ better than everā€¦ lol
