I managed to implement Mel Earp's idea of swapping the lower 40mm v-slot rails for 80mm. It worked perfectly. I now have a working travel of...
Sale at Open Builds part store today! I bought some 80mm linear rail to implement Mel Earp's High Rise mod. I'll report back when it's done.
I made another run at 6061 aluminum. This time with a new Kyocera 2 flute 1/8" up cut endmill made for aluminum. Things went much much smoother. I...
I think C Beams definitely bring more rigidity. As far as dense hardwoods...I'll be milling out some Katalox next week. That's getting up there...
I had read about this as well...and decided to go ahead and invest in some better electronics up front; mostly I was worried about troubleshooting...

Just an update on my build: everything is working quite nicely. There's so many things to like about the Ooznest kit and build...and I find more...
I used 18x50 along the Y axis, and 18x25 along the X.
Getting things fine tuned now and starting to produce some usable goods: side panel replacements for some Moog synthesizers. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Yeah, its lighter than some of the smaller routers...with better much better runout, and really very quiet. My power supply fan is the loudest...
