Ha I love the sound effects with the vidio... So Dramatic

Just completed a prototype dust collection system for my JGRO. I included a spearator (mini-cyclone) so that the larger chips won't damage the JET dust collector bags. It works fairly well! Get hardly any dust in the bags! I designed the router clamps and dust pickup head on Autocad and them imported to Bobcad and created the g code. The final workong version will have the router clamps and pickup head cut from UHMW plastic. The fexible plastic skirts will be replaced with brushes on the final vesion.

Haven't posted for sometime. Still having a blast with this CNC router "thing". Made a new bracket for a Hitachi Router. Also, added side supports to the long y axis. Had to route a shallow groove into the bottom torsion box to get some clearance for the bottom of moving gantry. I have inserted three long threaded rods across the top of the bottom torsion box that I can adjust. Maybe the photo will explain it better. With these side supports I no longer have a problem with "racking" and all the bearings now touch the pipes. Others with the JGRO have done similar.
