Sigh, another spell of mid 50s for highs. Won't this winter ever end???
Well, our fine economic times caught up with me the end of January and I am without a job now.
If anybody needs the help of somebody who's darned near done it all with computers, let me know. ...
The more energy you put into moving the gantry, the more EMF you generate via the motors. So I move the gantry very slowly and gently when I must manually do so.
It'd also make a cool ceiling aperature for one of those Solar Tube skylights.
Motorize it so it slowly opens and closes over a minute or two, repeatedly. Paint it black and then sell it to camera stores as novelty decoration.
Excellent work!
Keith,
We wore out one bit on 55 sink bowls and corresponding number of faucet holes (165), all in 3cm Elustra. An indeterminant number of 1/2" Elustra vanities were cut as well. I do not know...
What are the dimensions of the piece? I used to true up the head/block mating surfaces on "tiller motors" for our racing karts years back. I aspired to a granite surface plate, but settled for a...
Google "magnetic bearing fan" No sleeve bearing or ball bearing to gum up or fail.
Speaking as a railfan, that is bloody magnificent! Great work!
We have a downward-slanted board at one end of our 'bot that terminates over a box. When a top is slid off that end onto the roll-line much of the dust falls down, onto the ramp and into the box.

Guess: Thermostat for in-floor heat.
Just a guess, though. I'd like to see that furniture in color.
Well, the panic button lived up to it's name.
It's called "cutter compensation". The G-code is output with the positional info referent to the spindle centerline. The tool number references tool dimension info in the machine's internal tables...
It appears that you have discovered that those double-door, side-by-side refrigerators aren't really optimal at the end of a counter run, up against a wall. Much the way I have discovered.

Nice! It reminds me of a show I saw on HD Theater this week about the Shelby Cobra Daytona coupes.
It showed the plywood buck of the car body shape made of plywood. They used it to test-fit...
Check out www.vistaprint.com and look at the business card designer for an example of a really well structured WYSIWYG on-line design program.
It might give you some ideas. Besides, 250...
Pretty much everything said here so far describing forums and netiquette are unchanged from the days of FidoNet.

I want to see you bull-nose a piece of mahogany with a laser...
Chris,
Edge the material face-down. That way, if there are any irregularities in...
Let me be the first to say, "Huh?"
Cheer up, Gene. I know (probably as well as anyone can) the emotional bond we have with our pets. It's easier than doing one for a two-legged loved one.
I did one in granite for my...
John,
There will be pictures forthcoming, eventually, I hope.
Check you Habitat for Humanity thrift store on a regular basis. My brother in Savannah, GA picked up a nice cast-iron 6" edge joiner and a good-quality contractors table saw from them ridiculously...
I was the Tech Support Manager for TopSpeed Corporation back in the 1990s. Good tech support is almost a calling. You have to care deeply about the product, the customers, and be intimately...
My two cents on the subject, based on my 35+ years in the computer biz.
"When all you have is a hammer, everything pretty much looks like a nail."
The computer, at this point, is a...
