Make a new video so we can see and hear whats happening now you've tweaked it some more!

I was about to say the same as Voicecoil re making sure everything is clean, I always suggest people do...

There isn't a nipple on the screw itself. The bits that move are the bearings and the ballnut - the rest just needs a slight surface coating to protect the metal. The bearings are sealed, so its just...

BTW, did you check the ballscrew for smoothness throughout its' length before mounting it?? As I mentioned in my thread here: http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/12524-gritty-ballscrews , although Fred...

I wouldn't. I've got a Kress, they are just as noisy as any other brushed motor router.

Cutting aluminium on a table saw is no big deal. I have a Bosch GTS 10 J and with the Bosch blade made for cutting aluminium, it cuts aluminium like butter. Squaring the saw took some effort, but now...

FY! a charge pump is an electronic circuit that's usually used to generate a low-ish power but higher DC voltage from the existing DC supply using capacitors, rather than an...

At least the brushes appear to be easily externally accessible - so easy to change I would guess.

Do those motors have integral brakes? If not, you might need to add one on the Z axis if you're...

Aye, they're the things - a lot cheaper on Aliexpress though! When I get my machine finished I'll bum a bit of hardwood off Mike and see how smoothly they cut it.Theoretically I can't see that there...

Yes, something like that, though if it were me I'd have tall side rails fixed to the base all the way along rather than perched on blocks - that way they add good longitudinal strength which will win...

I don't have any drop/carve tops yet, but do have the design run up for an RG/Super Strat custom design with a carve which I'll be cutting, once I have finally finished my AS Tele project. The...

Hi bluesking

I can see why you want to go for larger cutters and for roughing I would agree, however there is another factor to maybe consider dependant on the guitar design/type you are looking...

Your requirements are not a million miles away from what I want to end up with, except mine will be used for building high-end loudspeakers rather than guitars (hence needs to be a bit larger); I've...

Yes bigger more powerful spindles like 3 kw you can use bigger cutters. If you want more motor power then use nema 34 but then you need higher voltage drives (mains voltage type).

The machine...

Fixed gantry will take up more floor space and moving gantry. if you are comparing that with the one Wal built then there is no comparison between the two. I pointed you to Joe's machine not for...

First welcome to the forum bluesking.

I would also go with option one as then you are in control. Have a look at Joe Harris build with a hand held router...

Hi bluesking

I also machine guitars on my CNC machine (check my signature for my channel). I normally machine around the 3000mm/min mark using 4 to 10mm cutters dependant on operation and strategy...
