If you want a laser to cut with then buy a laser machine. Interchangeable anything never works well and when it comes to laser for cutting then it can be downright dangerous and not something that...

Hi Paul, Happy new year to you also. My machine is still working fine and I have been impressed with it to date. The only issues were a new water pump (£12 from Amazon) and a new lens, just upgraded...

Hi Paulro,
Glad to see another Irish based member on the forum,

The machine I have, would I class it as a bargain, well yes. The reason this brand of machine is appearing at bargain prices is...

Yep, i was thinking of getting one myself at some stage.

Theres lots of laser stuff on youtube - optics setup, tuning cheap machines etc.

Yes you will need air blast, not so much for fire prevention but to keep the front optic clear of the muck thats...

Hey guys.
I am totally new to CNC's - Well i lie, I did use them at school, but that was about 20 something years ago.

Cant be that hard can it?

Anyways, i bought a preloved RoboCutters...

Hi Karl,

well petty much as I expected really, required a bit of tuning and adjustment but it is a Chinese machine so these jobs are normally required. I am hoping to put a video review up soon,...

Hi folks,

I have a new 3d printer so instead of being only a toy, let me sell you something here :joker:


In short after about 10 prototypes and extensive testing i am happy with a model of a...

Hi Greeny

It is from ebay of course :-) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100W-Laser-Engraving-Cutting-Cutter-Engraver-Machine-UK-Free-Shipping-free-Gift-/112191092149?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

It's...

It's here. !00w Co2 laser 500x700 work size. Will try and do a video later of it in operation.

19807198081980919810198111981219813Well It's arrived. Here's a few pix

Since the end of WW2, Britain's Engineering Industry has steadily declined. Due to the diversion of production into the war effort, most of the machines were worn out and there was little money to...

Well yes it would but still you'll be limited mostly by the 5mm pitch. Simple maths really 1000rpm would give 5mtr/min but with 10mm that would be 10mtr/min for same RPM. The larger motors start to...

Joe that 4nm 23 will struggle with 2 x 5mm pitch screws. It will turn them no problem but you'll have to sacrifice speed and with only 5mm pitch your already down on speed. I'd estimate you'll get...

I mean D4 to be so long /260-300mm/ that router bit stays inside it. Its called -overhang/ how far from X rail is the spindle nose. There is center of gravity also. The nearest the bit to the...

Hi all,

I made this ornament for a friend over the weekend (it references a long running joke between us - heh, you probably had to be there..)

The stand is made from a blank of...

Hi All,

Another one of those "quick" projects and maybe not the most glamorous, but it shows how I did some shape nesting in Fusion 360 i.e. at the "sketch" stage, as I don't think there's a true...

I have done the initial stages of the electronics build and the stepper motors have be attached to the machine. I have a video of it working (albeit at a modest 1m/min) until I've done the following:...

What you say is my dream gantry come true :yahoo:, people should take a note here. That's the perfect beam for simple gantry . Some good 2 x 400w 220Vac servo motors should move it flawlessly /...

I don't have Mach 3 in front of me right now, but it sounds like you have some sort of configuration issue, and that should be pretty simple to figure out and fix it. It can also be missing/extra...

Hi Richard,

Sounds to me like you have few conflicts happening here regards what Mach3 does exactly and what's needed or invloved with running and getting machine to do what you need. Because I'm...

I have a 2-way centre-off switch mounted on my control box which has an old pc power supply in it. That gives me both +5 and +12 selected via the switch - purely manual operation. My new machine...

Hi sorry I'm a little snowed under with work so been doing some late nights and I'm knackerd when come out of workshop late.

Ok I wasn't sure if the Steps per setting would have any affect but...

Ok and what is s3000 keep the pulley at 24000

As a matter of interest what do you get with S6000 Volts

In Deans temporary absence change the steps to 1600 and report back the Volts as before. But say in your post what you have done so Dean will know. Clive
