Romaxx

[lovebugjunkie]

I picked up the corian on Ebay, guy was selling 12 (13.5 x 11.3/4 inch) for around $45-50 Its ¼ inch thick . (no idea if that was a good price or not)

I have done a little looking in the Houston area but so far just came up with some people that wanted to sell me their old counter top that they remove for way too much money for my use. Going to try and see if I can find installer in the Houston that will sell me some of his waste.

The extra cable is for the “Closed Loop” upgrade that Ron sells. He also sends the PCI card to put in the pc with it. Not sure if the MPG also uses it. Card comes with a driver CD to install on the pc, don’t over look it like I did. (Had to make a mad dash to the trash bin) beat the trash pickup guys by about 15 minutes.

I almost bypassed on the cast aluminum plate table, sure glad I did not. The predrilled ¼ x 20 threaded holes come in real handy.

Anyone interested in a good/efficient cyclone check out Bill's website on dust collection. He doesn't just talk about chip collection but fine harmful dust that is usually just blown around your shop.

a lot of offall solid surface but after seeing your work i will probably carve in it

you also can find your local importer of metals (copper, stainless sheets and aluminimum) the pallets that some metals come from asia sometimes are mohogany and some great pieces and parts can be found this way

Not really. ClearVue licences the design from Bill Pentz, but it's not Bill's company. Unless that's basically what you meant to say.

Back to the Romaxx, or atleast the most effective way to attach a cyclone dust collector with 6" piping to a Romaxx. LoL!

Glad to see your review on the Romaxx machine. I am really close to pulling the trigger on my first CNC machine and really like the looks of the Romaxx unit. It is just too small for my needs. However, after emailing Ron he said a larger machine is in the works which would suit my needs to a T.

On another topic, I have the Clear0vue mini cuyclone AND the 8' high MAX system in my shop. They are both simply outstanding tools that I would highly recommend!

I have been looking at various CNC routers and features. Stumbled on this Romaxx machine, a couple nights ago, and liked what I saw for, maybe, the same reasons that some of you, talking about it, have.

My specific application and small business requires a machine that is efficient and acurate. I think roller v bearings on solid rails are fine and probably more maintenance free and less troublesome than some linear rails or rack and pinion setups. So I am going on what looks ligical, in my view. The Romaxx has some additional features that I like, the belt setup is somehting I have been giving a lot of thought, lately, and my reasoning and understanding for Ron using it on the Romaxx machine would be to achieve faster speeds. However until I try it I am still a bit skeptical on wether this will hold up precision when the tool encounters side loads. I don't need NASA precision but round holes down to 3/32" dia, done with a single 1/16" dia. cutter need to be round. WOuld like to hear some more imput, if anyone else is using this router and cutting beyond artistic designs, doing precision cutting, Id like to hear bout it, pehaps a video or pictures? Thanks.

Hi,varv
I do the step yesterday and buy a WD Romaxx cnc.
I watch a few of your message and I is possible that you can help me when I will receive my machine.
I am a newbie, I like woodworking but never use a CNC for now...
I have Corel X3 but I do not know if it will be useful to make the gravure 2.5D?
You have now vcarv pro but you hope to buy Aspire... What you can do with Vcarv pro?
I buy the CNC only for hubby, I was reteired since october 2008.
Excuse my english, I am a french Canadian and I write poorly.
If you like to help me tell me, if you don't tell me too.

I hope receive your feedback.

Thanks,

Robert Clement

Glad to help if I can.

On VcarvePro, It is the program I use to create my projects with.
Signs, 2.5 releaf and some wood parts. I also use it to cut out lighopanes I make in PhotoVcarve. If you are thinking about getting it or Aspire you can download a demo of the software from their site. It lets you cut out a few examples that are included with the software. http://www.vectric.com/WebSite/Vectr...s/download.htm

Check your private messages on this forum. I sent you a PM.
