    Thanks for the nice compliments guys,

    I got the 3/8" adaptors from High-Tech and the ATC works great now, just ordered a 1/2" to 3/8" collet adapter from. MLCS Woodworking (woodcraft was out) even with shipping it came to about the same price woodcraft had theirs.

    Did the 1/2" adapter have runout? Seems to me you'd be better off with a 1/2" shaft in your 1/2" collet, rather than a 3/8 shaft, in a 1/2" to 3/8" reducer, in a 1/2" collet.

    Yes, the 1/2" had runout. I started mentioning it in post #65, was 1st thinking it was the router.

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

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

    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.

    I was literally was about to send Joe the funds thru Paypal for the 2006 model when I saw the 2007 model. I was wondering if anyone heard when or if he is going to make kits for the 2007 model. I was hoping to get something started soon.
    Thanks Doug

    I like the new design too, although I was planning something similar but with the epay linear rails that i've aquired.

    Question? So I was thinking about drive system, ie. single vs twin screws and I understand the reasoning for 2 driven screws to eliminate racking. What I'm not sure that I get is the belt mechanism. If the motors are strong enough to cause racking problems if one loses steps, then the motors certainly could cause the belt to skip teeth under the same condition. It would seem that the belt would only save you if the power to one motor failed and the belt drive could actually spin the second screw-- in other words if the second motor was still under power but didn't turn (ie. the brakes are on) isn't it unlikely that the belt would be able to turn the screw. I maybe way off base here, if so can someone straighten me out.
