Located in SF bay area. Selling my 2006 48 x 96 PRT Alpha – Dual Z-axis w/ 3HP Colombo Spindle and Porter Cable Router. 220V single phase. I believe I am the second owner. I've added hardened rails...
Stavn,
I know a few CAM softwares and teach Fusion's CAM at Rochester Institute of Technology, I may be able to help. Please email me at info@byronconndesign.com if interested.
Thanks,
I'm interested in the 8' rails if they're still for sale?
Hey Eric,
I just replaced my table to PVC. I have baltic ply bolted to the frame and epoxied the pvc to that. I cut slots for aluminum extrusions which I use to hold fixtures and such. Any bleeders...
Very cool! I've been wanting to set up a 4th axis but haven't had the time to dive in. I use Bob-Cam so i'd need to check how it posts out of that.
No the PVC is glued down. I use different sized bleeder boards, fixtures, and direct to the gasket depending on the part. In the past I had a flat MDF table with removable plenums that would screw...
Hi All,
I Just moved studios so I've been too busy to post things, but always enjoy reading posts. This upgrade has been a long time coming, here's my machine mostly dialed in. Last year I added the...
Does anyone know whats on the second Z axis?
I purchased this machine back in 2015. I may sell it soon to upgrade and will post if I do.
Jim is right down the road from me, great guy!
I wish I was at a place where I could upgrade! If it's still available in a few months I'll be interested.
Marc,
I have the same dilemma and here's what I've come up with...maybe
-3/8 stress relieved pvc bolted to frame
-3/8 stress relieved pvc glued to previous layer, then surfaced with a vacuum...
To use a universal vacuum with the gasket setup you'll need to screw/bolt the bleeder board down to the vacuum grid otherwise you wont get a good seal. The bleeder wont pull tight against the grid by...
Here are my absolute favorite saws. I use the Kugihiki flush cut and Dozuki dovetail saw all the time. Super thin kerf and stay sharp a long time....
Works great, the better you can seal the edges of the grid to your bleeder the better your vacuum will be. An ultralight MDF works best as a bleeder and don't forget to surface the outer skin on both...
Scanning technology changes so rapidly that a large investment may not be as beneficial as figuring out another means. What would you use the scanning for?
I'm relatively new to the forum, but for me they go hand in hand. The better you understand the technology and machine, the better it can be used in creative process. It's always cool to see the...

Look forward to hearing from you,
You'll want to make sure you cut the mortise larger in width then your tool diameter at that depth. With something that deep the vibration from countless factors can cause lots of problems. I would...
Like Joe I design some products to showcase the process of cutting them on the CNC

So the only benefit of defining tool holding is for gouge-checking and collisions. Having your tool holding accurate in the software is crucial for 4 + 5 axis operations, but for 3 axis its easy...
I have a 3hp colombo spindle with M30 x 1" thread. The regular nut is M32 x 1.5"
I've had good luck with Shars collets and collet nuts - decent price too

Will, I have very limited interaction with Aspire. It depends what package you have for BobCam. I find their standard 3D toolpaths too limited for the types of surfacing I do. Bobcams 2D and 3D paths...
