    It took about a week from start to finish to upgrade the Hybrid. I am glad I did.

    I'll have to take one next time I cut. Will a still picture work?

    Default Lurking over your shoulder

    There are others watching/reading over your shoulder. Being a newbie, I don't have enough knowledge to add informed comments, but I do enjoy following the builds here and learning as much as I can. So I ask that you keep posting and let us ignorant newbies soak up as much information as possible from your experiences. Keep up the good work and please keep posting (and pictures are priceless).

    I may not be good....
    But I am S L O W!!

    I'd say without a doubt, you have a lot of "Secret Admirers" on here.

    Default Craftsman router on your build

    Great pics and video. I see you said you will be using a Craftsman router. What type of router and do you ahve any pics of the router mounted? I have an old 1-1/2hp Craftsman #315.17491 with the start switch on the router base trigger. I'm not convinced it will work and am wondering if you are using a similar router.

    The router is a Craftsman 320.17542. It is a good, inexpensive router and easily replaced locally.

    I added a few additional upgrades to the machine. I made up some mounts for limit/homing switches from angle aluminum.

    I also purchased an IVAC tool switch to automatically turn my dust collection system on and off. The IVAC came from Eagle America. It works well.

    I also made a fixed location for my dust collector and ran a pipe across the ceiling to the center of the table. I used Rockler hoses and also so dryer vent pipes.

    I haven't posted in a while but I thought folks might like to see my upgrade of a Seig Minimill x2 to belt drive.

    I also posted a video on youtube. The link is on that page.

    I've been following the progress of the ShapeOko Open Source CNC Router Table and Makerslide on kickstarter. ShapeOko is trying to create a $300 desktop CNC Router and Makerslide is trying to Creat open source Linear rails that are inexpensive.

    These two have mashedup their projects and ShapeOko has created a Router table using the Makerslides. They made the first cuts today. Ther e is more info in my blog at

    I just got in my supply of Makerslide Open Source Linear Bearing system. I was happy with the strength of these little rails. I think they will be a nice way to make inexpensive CNC machines and tools.

    I posted a video showing some info about the Makerslides in my blog. There is also a Youtube video and links to the Cad files. Maker Masters

    This has just been an amazing week. First I get a chance to have parts for my Joe's upgrade cut on a Haas Machining center, then when I got home my order of Makerslide linear bearing system arrived at my door and now I am dreaming up all kinds of CNC things to make with it. Then Alibre Design 2012 is released so now I can draw up those CNC machines. Now, as if on cue Minibloq Graphical Programming environment for Arduino Beta is released (Open Source). So now I have a new way to move the steppers with Arduino.

    This is cool stuff! Im sure folks will be talking about Alibre Design all over the web. But if you want a peek at Minibloq check it out. There is a link for a download .

    I know this is a little off topic but do you think this motor couldbe adapted as a spindle motor?
