I have been away due to illness for a very long time, I'm ok now so I am resurrecting my CNC router project.

Can anyone help me please, can the Nema 17 - 5.5kg.cm cut rosewood (Guitar Fretboard Slotting) with slow, shallow passes, I have tried to calculate using the calculators on the net, but at 77 y.o. it's all Gobbledygook to me.

Many Thanks in Anticipation.

Regards.

Here is another video about how I bent 2000 x 300 x 3 mm steel sheets to the right shape without a bending machine a while ago when I was making a flower bed. It worked out nicely in the end.



I hope some of you can use this idea in your projects as well. ]]> General Discussion A_Camera https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16115-How-to-bent-thick-sheet-metal-without-a-bending-machine https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/16114-My-drill-to-mill-conversion-Using-a-screw-as-a-draw-bar?goto=newpost Sat, 08 Aug 2026 14:39:28 GMT I made a video about how I converted my bench drill machine into a simple mill.

Of course, a drill machine is a drill machine, no matter what I do, but the way I made is MUCH better and safer to use as mill than some other people do. Enjoy.

Hi everyone, ive finally got my big cnc machine up and running and am now trying to control my CNC Pro V5 along with GSender, just wondering if anyone else is using GSender as I have a few small questions.
