MG, You've entirely missed the point here.... It's not about using 3" bits. It's not about reaching all the way down to the bed. It's not about...
MG, The issue is the extension of the bit below the bottom axis plate. With a fixed spindle on a moving axis, if you have say 3" clear beneath...
There is a calculation shown somewhere deep within the forum but I wasn't able to find it. There are plenty of resources online though. A few...
Correct. I'm guessing the problem is probably a combination of the pre-load and low quality wheels. Good quality acetal wheels shouldn't be doing...
I would suggest using a braced rail. While you'll have plenty of stiffness in the 2.4cm plywood, the rod rails you have shown won't offer much and...
One thought would be that you have too much pre-load on the wheels. Where did you source your wheels from?
Check for loose or bad connections between the stepper and the board as such connections may damage the board.
As long as there is sufficient hub diameter to maintain a grip on the set screws you can drill out the bore to whatever size you need. 60t | B&B...
The basic reason behind V-slot being created had to do with how poorly wheels perform on T-slot so there is really not a direct or easy path...
I had just planned to use it flat. It extends out an inch both sides of the rail which should be sufficient to keep chips out.
So why not just add eccentric spacers to the upper two non eccentric wheels on the z-axis mount?
Hopefully they're not 'too cheap' to be of any use. I have a set on order so I'll know shortly.
McMaster-Carr bellows offerings can be a bit on the pricey side. If you want cheap and simple consider 2Pcs Organ Protective Cover Rail Telescopic...

It actually works the other way around. High amp drivers can overload lesser motors. Running a 2.8A stepper on a 2.5A driver just means you won't...
I guess if there was ever a good time for a system to tank this was it. The wiring in all motors deteriorates with age/usage so it wouldn't be a...
Sorry to hear the news. Are these worthwhile? At $99 the price seems good but obviously not if they're junk. As for the stepper you may have...
I'm no expert but I don't believe so. It comes with its own software. Most using Mach3 either pair it with a Gecko G540 or a BOB and drivers.
Really only one way to fix that, start reading... gnea/grbl, Spark-Concepts/xPRO As for Mach3, you'll find it isn't compatible with the xPro boards.
A recent example using the Hitachi router can be found here: 1000 x 1000 Workbee powered by X controller. Apparently it works fine but you might...
