Why didn't he send you another 1/2" one that didn't have any runout?

[joecnc2006]

He does not want to send any out until new ones are made.

I agree very Nice looks like your Vac attach works great also.

[joecnc2006]

The machine is very smooth indeed, I am very happy with it.

There are a couple of things i want to change on the machine I will leave those for release when i do them. Until then there will be a few mod changes to improve the machine although it is working better than I expected.

This machine is simply amazing. Your designs just keep getting better and more importantly, more straight forward. It takes a smart man to make the complex, simple.

I am so fascinated by this machine I have decided it is the one I will build when Joe releases the plans. I may even begin to gather supplies......... The bug bites hard.

Cool video joe. Looks to be a promising design and machine. I can't wait until you release it. That 4x4 capability will make cutting kits a lot easier! One thing in particular I like is how you've strengthened the z axis a lot. It looks shorter and although you have less in your z it looks to be a lot stronger. That's the concern I've always had with the 2x4; the z axis is so far extended that if you don't set it up correctly when building it there can be flex present.
