Hello jarjar. Welcome. To my build log. As my first post suggests, total novice here. Stress relieved? I'm not sure what that means. I chose the...

Custom bas-relief from photo.

Ah, Tata Steel product! Can I ask where did you get it? I would have chosen their Celsius 355 product instead, which is already stress relieved. ...

Hi I have the same board but I'm having problems with that. I tried to connect the A-Axis but Mach3 doesn't move the Axis and I don't know why.Can...

These are what I have, I'm cutting brass and they die as soon as they touch. Probably me having no experience. But I put a new edge on with diamond...

Have a look at Louis belet tools, primarily for watch making, they are fairly expensive but all their tools are polished and the smoother the cutting...

Thanks for the info. I'm checking out your build now. I don't have any experience with any CNC stepper drivers. If they are going to severely limit...

Black Beard - take a look at my "Avor" build. I wouldn't necessarily recommend that you (or anyone else) tries to copy it, but you might get a feel...

Hi, I found this on a hunt for answers, my cncest 3040T was ramping rapidly, I checked the settings and z was way off. So I reset all to 400 1500...

Nick - I reference your avitar. - Trying to find an affordable one. Guess around 60%.

I have an unused Ethernet SS, what % of retail do you expect to pay?

Quick update That was a great idea with the lathe cross slide although I couldn't quite get it to work, having issues with its size. I ended up...

I emailed the Sales Manager at Antex and he asked me to send the defunct iron back to them, which I have done. They have also taken on board my...

Thought I would do one more experiment based on a suggestion from dharmic, I took 0.5L of my already-mixed-to-instructions dye and diluted it with a...

Thanks Nick!

Looks good George! Good to see you here again, - Nick

Sorry that’s a bit to small, looking for something 6040 size or a bit larger
