Here is the beginnings of my Rockcliff. I'm as new to cnc's as it gets. I have build a few Rockcliff's for friends since I have all the tools in my shop but have never actually used one. I'm sort of planning as I go along and get supplies. This is what I managed so far just from stuff lying around. Don |

I like the way you setup your motherboard and Xylotex driver, Just be dure to keep a constant air flow over the heatsinks on the driver board, if the driver gets hot, it will do strange things like gain steps sometimes they will lose steps but it's freakier when they gain, I've been using them for 2 or 3 years and only had one accident, which was my fault, I was about ready to throw in the towel though untill I figured the cooling thing out. Oh and watch out if you are engraving alu. I blew my first board up by getting a tiny chip of gold onto the board, Jeff got me fixed up and returned in about 8 days. In one thumbnail on an earlier posting, it looked like you had made your X-Z axis out of acrylic or lexan and fitted it with bronze/brass bushings, did that work out OK? I'm starting my router next week and hyave enjoyed looking at some of the varations, sure looks good so far Ken Ferrell |

| Hi Don Your Machine looks Great I really like how you have designed your Y axis and rail mounting blocks, I also have had my share of issues when cutting acrylic too, we use to do a job a few years back, cutting grooves in some 1/4" thick the grooves were only .060 deep and you could actually see the stress marks on the opposite side of the material, it can really do funny stuff when cutting into it, but the pieces you managed to use look good. |
