Awesome! Looks like since I have mainly been doing pine I could kick it up to speed 2 no problem.
My next question is, in carbide create what would you consider for the bit choice for a 1/8 straight cut like This
I think it would be the #102 bit but I would like to make sure. In easel I just choose the 1/8 straight cut and go on my way however when I am doing projects in carbide create I'd just like to make sure since all of the bits are in the # fashion.
Thanks a lot for all your help
I'm using cheap 4" Sewer pipe, the thinner lighter pvc piping along with Whye and 45deg elbows. Picked them up at Lowes because they had the brighter white pipe compared to the sun-tinted stuff they had at HD. Since i was simply hanging them from the ceiling, i wanted them to look "nice".
Few things i'm doing which i'm not sure is fully necessary...
1-5 work perfectly with my other tools... miter saw, table saw, router table, etc... Since i don't have it yet, i can't attest to how well all this will work the SO3 (:fingerscrossed:).
Drag chains are pretty cheap. I thought printing them would be neat at first too, but its kind of ridiculous when you think about it. I purchased these from Amazon. You'll need 2 of those assemblies, mostly because you'll want two pairs of the ends (plus you can use the extra chain as stationary cable guide).
I wrote a blog post a while back about my Shapeoko 2 enclosure, which has stuff about drag chains and wire management solutions. Check it out if youre interested: Blog Post. If you like what you see I'd be happy to share my design files.
I never got around to designing a controller enclosure, mine is still just hanging off the back of my machine enclosure, but I did make some 3D models of the g-shield and a protoshield if you want to try to make your own. GShield Model and Protoshield Model. There's lots of uno models on grabcad too.
Definitely decent hearing protection and a respirator, I use this one and it works great. Save your lungs and your ears.
For the top face, you need one of these - https://www.amazon.com/Whiteside-Spoilboard-Surfacing-Router-Shank/dp/B071748JQN
​
And then you need to get your spindle pointing nice and accurately straight down, and you're good.
LE Waterproof 12V Flexible LED Light Strip, 6000K Daylight White, 150 Units SMD 5050 LED, 12 Volt LED Light Strips, Pack of 16.4ft https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQV6U3U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vImOybQWYPFJD
They work great. I have them under my X axis also, all plugged into the fan port on the carbide board so they turn on and off with the machine.
When you say moving "in broken halting steps" that does suggest to me that the motor is working but does not have enough torque to turn. That could be that the wheels are too tight on the makerslide or that the motor is not getting enough current, but only look into that after you are sure the wiring is Aok.
I think if you surface an aluminum plate attached to your wasteboard (this bit works, or just a 1/4 endmill a couple times), particularly along the X axis, this will achieve a good reference geometry upon which to establish perpendicularity with your rails. From there, stacked (+bolted to a threaded hole in your aluminum?) 1-2-3 blocks or a Machinist square + a strong light source from behind would get you very close.
Both my z and X were slipping... Once tightened, the machine has been rock solid. Good idea on moving the electronics, post what you do.
Not to shill, but I these inserts and they have served well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KSZ13G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
To ensure consistency, let's do 4 commands
G20 G91 (Inches, Relative)
G38.2 Z-5 F2 (Move until interrupted by probe or 5 inches whichever is first, Z-move down, Feed Rate 2in/min)
Machine should now stop when it detects contact with touch plate
G92 z0.0605(After interrupt/pause/resume set current z work position to 0.0605 (the thickness of my plate, so z0 should be the top of my work))
G0 Z0.25 (Raise bit to safe height above work)
The 0.0605 in this case is the total thickness of the touch probe. This would be the height the bit stops above your workpiece when in contact with the touch probe.
All of this is from the wiki page or links posted in the wiki page.

Be sure to connect ground to the clip and power to the probe surface.
I painted both solid then glued them in place with E6000 glue.

> If I get a bigger shop, I'd just expand into that until it was cramped too!
So what's the problem? Lol.
No I understand. I'm not in my "forever" house yet, so I just built a small workbench this weekend to put my S03 on and then built my machine yesterday. Yeah the wires are a problem for me. Not so much the wiring from the board to the motors or limit switches, but the USB, Power, and Router power bother me. I still have to figure out a neater solution for those. I think I'm going to do something using this:
