beautiful work, it's all looking so nice and chunky!

ok thanks I will have to look in to how to import other files my fusion skills are still rather basic and not got to that stage yet, i had a paly...

Thanks for all the kind comments. Onto the top part of the Z axis. Main holes roughed out. You will notice that it is all offset to the...

The import function works brilliantly in my experience and will accept most common formats. Grabcad have lots of parts and you can happily...

tah! Yeah I love fusion, it's absolutely brilliant to me - the modelling is fantastic but the machining side is extremely powerful and...

Looking good there, keep it up. I'm also getting into F360 and it has not disappointed me yet. I can't see myself going back to Vectric Cut2D,...

How small is your stepover? You seem to be stepping over the whole diameter of the cutter by the looks of your graphics. For a ballnosed cutter you...

hi everyone we are back http://www.diycnc.co.uk/

Well, wasn't needed at work today so thought I'd be productive! Machined one set of wings: Initial setup for drilling/milling Fastened...

Hi, tnx for replay, I want to cut a little of everything (alu, pom, mdf , some glass etching), (Glass isn`t obligatory - i can do it with my dremel...

Unfortunately not.

OK, so I'm going to hijack this thread now... So I had been eyeing up the same chinese mill, and not withstanding that "it ain't been seen...

The kV of the motor you need will depend on the Voltage you're going to run it at and what you want to cut.

Ouch :hurt: :hurt:

Thanks for the spares link, it helped a lot. We have got inside and the issue seems quite obvious... 😂

I did wonder if the motor was getting weak but it seems to have been fine since. Would changing the motors and/or drivers speed up the movement ?...

It would be convenient to use the slots to mount the rails so maybe I should spin it round for now. I intend to upgrade or rebuild the machine what's...

I did exactly the same for the same problem but I also increased the pulses and it helped a lot it also made locking more precise.

Here's the page on the Boxford Spares site: http://www.boxford-software.com/spares/160Turret2.html I don't have a manual for it; I just...

If cashback tracks successfully, which I posted about here, the overall cost would be reduced a bit further. I've used Quidco and Topcashback in the...

Hello please let me know the precise problem as I have striped a few of these and I may be able to assist. They are not very complex and parts and...

That £204 includes VAT though, so realistically it's £170. Still not that great, but not too bad considering the whole digital media sales tax hoops...

That would no doubt help... maybe flip it around so you can still use your extrusion slots for mounting the rails (assuming that was your plan?). ...

I was thinking something like this http://www.steelexpress.co.uk/structuralsteel/angles.html 100*65 7mm fitted like this Would add...

Hello Saracen, I work in a school and we have a Boxford 160 like this one. We are having turret indexing issues. I don't suppose you have a...

Fair enough, just curious. I don't think a 100x50 will be sufficient for really good results in alu at 1.5m span, I would personally definitely...

Cheers. They are MBA12-C mounts with FK12 bearing blocks and matching FF12 at the other end.

Morning, There's some logic in my madness lol I have 2 1.3m long supported rails 25mm and 2 1.5m 15mm hiwin with 4 carriages. The 25mm...
