Excellent work! And the Instructable is top notch.

Fun project but I do not recommend wearing aluminum. I had an aluminum bracelet for a while and it created a chronic ache in my wrist which was alleviated shortly after I removed the bracelet.

Accuracy is pretty good. I have not taken the time to really measure and tweak things to see how far down I can get it but I am very satisfied given the price savings over Rack and pinion. That being said, Rack and pinion is worth it if you can afford it.

Belts are doing great

year delay on response here... I have never seen any evidence of the steps in my work.

thanks

I have never seen any evidence of the resolution in my pieces, no.

Thanks! looking forward to seeing it!

Excellent advice. I'll add that to the instructable. Thanks!

Thank You.

Thank you very much!

Wow! Incredible.

Speed for me is limited by the play in the machine. If you go too fast it deflects significantly. Also my spindle only turns at 13,000 rpm so I am limited by that. A good spindle could do double that.

Nice. If you remember send me the link here. motors are linked in step 20.

Thanks

This is incredible. It is an honor to have been destroyed so thouroughly in the CNC contest.

Thanks

Remember they only have to be as strong as what ever is making contact with your work piece. For me... 95% of the time that is a 1/8 inch bit. That being said I am more than satisfied with the lateral strength of my machine. I can't really budge it by leaning on it. I don't think my motors are strong enough to induce any deflection.

Can't wait to see it, you do good work.

Thank you.

Oh yep. Nice catch.. fixing. Thank you.

Beautiful!

My spindle is very quiet and very affordable. Excellent work, especially given your limited resources!

An excellent instructable! I will likely reference it when I get around to making a Jog Dial for mine.

Thanks! The video walk-through is getting added tonight.

Thanks!

Thank you.

Excellent, Thank you for the info. I have a few more updates to do today and I'll included this in the revision. Driving around last night I realized I have completely omitted the decking and surfacing.

Wow, very nice compliment, thank you.
