Had my busy bee, baby mill completed for over a year now, useing Mach1Mach2cnc program, with Camtronics inc stepper system, works great, but have a hard time mastering the g-code programming,
Not planning on building a cnc machine.
Still planning 1st cnc machine.
Building 1st cnc machine, but it's not done.
Finished 1 cnc machine.
Finished 2 cnc machines.
Finished more than 2 cnc machines.
Still trying to get the rest of the plans if I can get my postings to work first.

heres my two machines
Finished HF conversion, working on small scratch built router. should be finished in 2-3 weeks.

I've finished a small mobile engraver. It was really for evaluation of Mach2 software. I'm in the middle of making two benchtop mills, one with a fourth axis. I also am still researching the least expensive way to update the controls on my CNC bridgeport.
Does designing custom CNC machines for producing and inspecting the glass in flat panel monitors and LCD tv's count for anything?

Can you post any new pictures in you thread?Originally Posted by NEATman

Joe-
I'll need to take some updated pictures of the engraver. I'll try to get them posted tonight.
If it's pictures of the machines I design for work, I have a 3 minute trade show video that I can post, it's about 5 meg. I'm not sure if that's too big of a file. Again, it really is for a trade show, but some of the video is rather impressive. One of the machines is moving at just over 3 meters per second. I'll have to ask the site owner where I could post the video, or see if I can find the video on our website.

I'm designing a heavy duty 2'x4' and would like to know if any one is willing to help me? I'm a beginer in this Forum and would like to know if I should start a thread, if so how do I start a thread?

I have updated my micromill thread, and really need to start documenting the other projects that I'm working on. Take a look...

Here is a link with a few movies at the bottom of the page.

These are standard gantry systems that we manufacture. These are linear bearing, linear motor, linear encoder based systems and they really move! I still have not found the presentation video from the tradeshow. I'll have to ask about that one.

just finished 1st machine minus limit & home switches and interchangable tooling head, planning to make second machine using first machine, ( it will probably work to a better tolerance and faster than me! ).
First machine was a Lego prototype, but it did work and was
accurate to within a mm, so i guess it counts. :-)

OMG I love it! I know of a few people who grew up with lego who will also love it. Thanks for sharing.Originally Posted by jwstolk

Did the electronics first, all went well, stumbling over the actual building,but , still working on it. Cann't wait!
I have to say that lego machine is brilliant, a working CNC machine made out of lego never would have even thought of it, moderator that has to deserve a prize !Originally Posted by jwstolk
I hope to finish mounting the Z axis controls this weekend. Then put the home & limit switches on. Flood coolant after that. Then maybe, maybe, I can call it done. I wonder if that ever really happens?
i am trying to purchase ball screws for my IH mill now , trying to figure all the variables
is more time consuming than 1rst thought.
hey jwstolk , your lego machine is cool, nice idea .
Thanks !Originally Posted by KEYTEEM

Converting a lathemaster mill. Didn' know there so may parts to the conversion. Each one takes time but hopefully, someday it will be finished.
So many things............

foamcutting machines count??
I would say it does.
