Hi All,
I have painted my machine and got a MDF 25mm sheet to mount over it. (already mounted it and need to fix it to the table now.
meanwhile cutting the MDF board to size generated so much dust that my linear slide and ballscrew which were near got a good coat of the mdf dust, after wiping them I realized what it was to have a good dust extraction system. i will go and search for a good used blower or just follow the bill pentz plans to build one soon after the machine is dry run for 72 hrs. YUP I plan on running the machine dry for 72 hrs! to test the new UHU high power driver design.
wish me luck guys.............
overall i am very pleased and satisfied with what I am achieving and will have dust soon on the table!

YA aya pictures.
Since I lost my Hard Drive, I figured out that I have lost my drivers of my camera phone and the drivers of my canon camera, I will post pictures soon once i download and install the proper drivers.

Hi All,
Pics of the painted router and the MDF board on the router with the controller cabinet which will house the computer and the UHU servo control cards and everything else.

The pictures are from my phone camera : CRAPPY BUT OK!
I think a regular shop vacuum would work. there are lots of people using them on their tables.
As far as the dust goes, it is everywhere and that is just a fact of life.
You could get a roll of plastic that is spring loaded and use that as a way to keep dust from falling onto the slides.
Think of a window shade that has a roller spring.

Dave you and I are on the same thinking levels. great!
I will show what I will do to protect the slides from getting saw dust once I have done with the dry running of the machine, meanwhile my computer cum monitor arrived at Tenmetalman's place and he's gonna shipp it soon to me Hurrah!. The dream is fallin in place!
WOW! I so excited. Lot of work this weekend. only I am waiting timing pulleys from my dear friend Manjeet Singh from North India.
I will possibly wire the controller and test the new UHU boards on the weekend!
Enjoy!
Irfan filling the tubes with sand will help,but not much.All hand held type routers scream at 24000 rpm.It is the cooling fan making most of the noise.If you had variable speed and reduced cutting speed there would be less noise.
Another solution is a spindle router but the cost is high.I am working in a shop with a 10hp spindle and it is so quiet, I don't know if it is on or not.Cutting at 600ipm is a different story,gets noisy,but nowhere near the noise of a hand router.Make some money with what you have and later invest in a spindle.

Wiring mess
Just wanted to share the wiring mess my router is into. Still have not yet received the promised timing pulleys.....I am just worried.
Larry you are right on all accounts. the router may actuallyhurt the business. I have to start first Ithink.
Hope all works out well.

controller update
Just an update on the controller box.
I am hurrying up the wiring so that I can power up the HP UHU with 110v to chk them GOOOOOOOO
Let me know if anyone wants more details!

US bhaee Q???..business k chakar main..and tell me did u made UHU ur self?...What is the price of complete electronics package without stepper motor and power supply
On official visit only. YUP I made the UHU myself. well it drives a servo motor and not a stepper. presently the pricing is for 150USD for a high Power driver, u can build the low power version for much cheaper. read the UHU thread complete.

150 dollars for all three axis..irfan??? can u post some details?...
No sir,

the circuit looking very complicated...
there are certain advantages like
1. no lost steps,
2. Closed loop operation.
3. Faster jog speeds
etc.,
the main reason being I stupidly bought those expensive DC motors and PS. and I wanted to experience the difference in Power.
okay..i am using SLA7062 board and i have no lost step at 120IPM...taking the same weight as of ur router
My rapid is 150...without lost step..i can increase the IPM by gearing down...
