Some time back, I made a jig saw table. It was fitted with an arm for guiding the blade at the top, supposedly to ensure that the blade would be exactly vertical. The jigsaw machine was fitted underneath the table […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is a continuation of the improvement in the Z-axis for the movable gantry cnc machine. The previous post was about making a more accurate vertical z movement by changing the Z housing from one made of MDF to another […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Taking note of the findings after rough tramming of Z-axis on the Movable Gantry CNC Machine, I decided that the Movable Gantry Z-axis drive mechanism needed a major makeover as there were too many inaccuracies. These inaccuracies came about because […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My old hand drill was damaged beyond repair. One of the commutator conductors had broken off from the shaft, and the carbon brushes were fractured when the motor was turning. So I bought a new hand drill and was very […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
After my first cut, I knew I had to fix a backing spoilboard on the machine movable bed so that I can protect the latter from being damaged when the tool cut deeper than the thickness of the work piece. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
While I was looking at the assembly of the CNC machine from afar, I found that the left side wall was not exactly perpendicular to the movable bed. It was noticeable because the wall was relatively tall, and when viewed […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
At this juncture, I had to consolidate what I had available and decide what kind of design of the cnc machine I wanted to build. Most of the decisions that I made were based on the parts that were available […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
