Ive got about 2" outside at work right now, rather depressing knowing i cant get out on a board untill sunday at the earliest

we are converting it to use 1/4 x 3 steel plate as quick n dirty leaner bearings which will replace each of the pipes. With them the brace that ties the two gantry uprights together below the table isnt neccessary and then you can just brace the table however you like. when ever we get around to fin...

snowing in southern nh again, just moved 4" out of my driveway from this morning and its still comming down hard.

If you could build mostof them in house i bet you could easly make money if you didnt get raped on whatever you outsourced. If i was going to build a few basegrinders, using referb motors, and barebones electronics i know i could build them for around 1-1.5k each, there isnt alot of parts there. two...

BOOOO no shipping ??

We got a half decent storm in new england last week. Spent my honeymoon at sugarloaf and the midweek storm got what looked like 4-6. First pow ive seen all year personally.

The insert idea sounds pretty good, hadnt thought of that

We will use it to profile cores, its back apart again so we can convert it to leaner bearings and rack and pinion on all 3 axis. It will work fine for it The wood is weak, i would suggest going with a aluminium/steel build right away. we are slowly replacing everything with both, except for the cutt...

Our router is based off a free design called the JGRO, plans for it can be found at cnczone.com or maby though your fav search engine. We have somewhere around 1,500.00 usd into this so far and its good for what it is. An all aluminium build would be much better, id reccomend that over a wood / mdf ...

figured id chime in again in this thread.

I ordered my sidewalls from crown on dec 8th, they still haven't shipped it

sure looks like it, and is now on my to-do list.

I thought about Teflon as a snowboard base, i had some scraps at my normal job and realized just how low a coefficient of friction it has. Only down side is its VERY susceptible to damage. The small scrape a rock does to a uhmwpe base would cut right into the lowest laminate layer if your base was T...

I liked the weights aswell. I may have to build something like that for myself, would beat having to space the core off the table to make room for the 10,000 clamps i tend to use keeping the edges in place
