CNC Machine

Eight models, wow!

They all look pretty nice.

What is that I see tying on the rotors in some of the pix?

Alan KM6VV

Those are propeller saver.
It’s a o-ring that is pass over the propeller to attach it to the motor.
that detach if you hit the ground without break the propeller.

I wondered if it was something like that!

Alan KM6VV

Do i explain it OK?

Yes you explained it well. I just thought Alan would like to see a closer image of one. :wink:

I got it OK, that’s what I was guessing.

Revised Update…
Will have taller Gantry to accomodate the 1" t-slot top Plate.
There was 4" of Z travel and will have 4.8"


Pretty nice!

Alan KM6VV

Yes… hope it will perform good also…

From the looks of it, it should!

What CAD/CAM and CNC controller programs are you running? (You probably told me and I forgot).

Alan KM6VV

Yes… will work i think… :wink:
A render of the 15x25 top plate will look… :wink:

I use:

Solidworks for CAD then export in .dxf 2d
Draftsight (open source 2d soft) to setup parts and lay them on a sheet size
Vectric Cut2d to generate gcode (Work real nice)
EMC2 linux

Well,

You’ve certainly got the software setup!

I might have to check out some of them.

Your upgrade should really beef-up the router!
Did your supplier offer these before, or is he developing more routers as he goes along?

Alan KM6VV

Mine was a DIY kit (yes… )
They don’t do them but offer a complete line now.

I attach a .pdf for you to look.

DraftSight is like a 2d autocad and it’s completly open source… real nice

Thanks for the pricing, what’s the URL?

He likes that guitar body, I wonder how the bevel on the edge is cut?

URL ?

In computing, a uniform resource locator or universal resource locator (URL) is a specific character string that constitutes a reference to an Internet resource. The website address…
