The toolstation ones are not that good but they cheap enough to learn on!

There should be one of their shops near you?

Dow, missed that one... I've got a few of those you could have had as since I started using single flute cutters I've not touched the standard router...

I run my 542's (or 2m542, same spec) at 42v the 'H's can run at slightly more current i believe (4.5). For your set up the standard 542's will be fine, ignore the +50 bit as well. 50v is...

Her who must be obeyed has given me permission to buy three of 2M542's and the board that goes with 'em although I've noticed 542H - emailed the seller as to what the H is but no response yet, if I...

1 and 2 go to a, a+
3 and 4 go to b, b+

Doesn't actually matter as long as 1 and 2 go to the A's or B's and 3 and 4 go to the others. 1 and 2 are a pair as are 3 and 4.

If the motors go the...

1 = yellow + red
2 = yellow/white + red /white
3= green + black
4 = green/white + black/white

Welcome to the forum, if you still need to buy a power supply for those drivers then as Jonathan has said you would be better off with a higher voltage, think those will run up to 50v unless your...

Sure is :toot:

I must remember to shift that milling table out of the Utility room before the kids trip over it .....lol!

Machine building in living room, second machine being planned before the first is finished. It seems to me you are a natural for this site. Well done. G.

Presumably you've got the stepper drivers already, since they're not on your list, but which ones did you get? It looks like you have the common 3Nm motors. They work best with a lot more than 36V -...

Hi there, it looks like you are going to get the supported rail then. It is best, but i managed for a while with unsupported, by the way i think you may be hitting the +Post New Thread button Rather...

:stung:

Excellant work uppy. You'll have great fun learning, much the same as I am at the moment. Make sure you keep us posted with your build photos!

Hi, wellcome. Built in your living room - thats great. At least you wont have any rust problems. Reminds me a bit of a WI competition that my wife entered a few years ago. In answer to the question...

Welcome local chap...

Splendid stuff :)
nice and warm inside

looking at you Y axis, the rails look unsupported which may lead to some problems over such a large distance
they will be like guitar strings when you get...

That's good, since the machine will just be able to cut those, but nothing harder. I asked because there are a couple concerning things about your current design:

Well welcome to the forum and you get a thumbs up from me because its in your house!! looks like your almost there, i look forward to seeing your pictures and your progress, And again welcome.

What are you planning on cutting with it and what bearings have you used on the ballscrews?

I'm loving this idea and looks like i'm the first :peaceful:

here is a drawing for a motor mount i used for 1/2" ali plate. It was designed for use with a 425mm belt, 15 and 24 tooth HTD pulley....
