I capped all the open ends on the base and welded in a few more blind bushes where I expected to need to fix something, then keyed up the tops of the rails with some coarse paper on the sander before...

Final comment from me then I'm going back under the rock for 6 months. The control inputs to the HY VFD are fed each though onto-isolators on the control board internal to the VFD. You already have...

Thanks again everyone for helping me make my build come true!
My first engraving is a message for all the people who think that the machine that they have started or thinking to build won't finish...

hello all

Just like to say that my CNC machine has been a complete success - knocking signs out for fun!!

Easel software is great and I have not broken a single cutter, is very intuitive and...

Back once again! I’m not a good forum member am I? So sporadic! But I’ve been busy planning my loft conversion.

Anyhow, I thought I’d try a box joint mini project just to get my eye in for when I...

Steve P who has commented on one of my end grain inlay chopping board videos on Youtube was asking for some info on my settings. He's on this forum so I said I'd post my workflow on here as opposed...

Well Ive been continuing to work on the guitar. Pretty much all the CNC side of things was completed at the last update and its on to more "traditional" methods of guitar construction . Hence the...

I've never seen an adverse comment on one of Dean's machines and I am not surprised you are happy with it. My aim in asking the question is to get some guidance for DIY builders. When I built a more...

It certainly looks a beast, and I don't doubt it's ability to do the job. But anyone who has trawled the build logs will see a lot of comments about the need for bracing in a frame and this...

Well then!
Got my new toy :)
I ordered this CNC in February and i picked it up on the 12th September. It took a bit longer than quoted but this was down to the closure of the Suez Canal.

All i...

Robertspark's UCCNC Macros, Screenset and MODBUS manual is also a very helpful reference. See attached. Not only does it highlight all the inbuilt macro functions, but also has tables at the end...

I understand exactly what you are saying. I have an Evo N610c which has the same feature. That was my last one which had this easy swapping possibility. Mi later Probook 6470b was still fairly easy...

Of course, I never said you should change anything you are happy with. That was not the subject at all.



Never had any PC destroyed because of an update. I think your conclusion of blaming...

Just to inform those who are interested, a friend of mine installed this on his brand new machine, he followed the manual to the letter and got it working without any issues. He is not a computer...

thought id get a quick job in before the new parts arrive.

turns out the machine is just dangerous, the cable to the steppers is not sufficient and gets warm. the cable is only rated for 3amps,...

I had a bash at a Lithophane last night. Strange thing where the carving looks weird until you hold it up to light. Carved in that engineered stone stuff Corian/Staron

Made another video creation...

So after nearly 3 days cutting, mainly down to my ridiculous tool choice, I’ve finally finished my 3D (or 2.5d?) carving. Added a bit of stain to age it up a bit and hey presto, looks like it’s...

Thanks. Anyone interested can use this link below to download the three macros.

Follow that link, it should...

He should have tried my concrete feet idea! Anyhow, apart from the usual bit holder, colett holder, box etc, here is my first proper effort. Lots of learning points to get me moving from acceptable...

I've been on this forum since April 2020, asked a few daft questions, got my head around what I'm after and have recently collected and set up my new machine.... Maybe you know the chap who made...

Zander,

Part of the problem with forums, such as this, is trying to gauge the level of understanding, and equally challenging, adapting any reply to pragmatically match that level, so please...

Just adding to this thread as I've recently made another one of these cake plinths and have the pics to hand. Used an old oak table top that was being thrown out by a cafe. Process has been updated...

It looks a little light-weight. But I'll not comment further on that - I expect you know your machine's limitations and are satisfied.

You'll notice that the FF500 is available as "CNC-ready",...
