Nice progress on your machine. Happy that you learned your lesson on respecting what a table saw can do with loose pieces in front of the blade. Mark

I've been following along with your build, great job 👍👍

I have seen the finished result and I am amazed that you made that with basic machinery and of course a lot of skill. Butt still. Amazingly done!

Moving along nice to watch the build continue. Lets get her dialed in. Lance & Patrick.

This is a great series. But it really needs a narration, explaining what you are doing, what choices you made, and why you made them.

Excellent work!

I'm searching for fittings with M6x0.75 thread for lubrication as you did, seems to be H20 like mine, do you remember where you get them ? Which lubricant did you use ?

I love the table saw hack. Noice.

Awesome build. Great to see how you managed to build this without using a mill at least for accurately boring small components. How did you manage to dial in the ballscrew and servo mount with the rails ? Did you use shims or the like ? Granite epoxy builds are becoming more and more common with cheap linear rails and ballscrews, it's exciting to see how it's enabling builders to literally build machines from scratch.

Thanks. The bearings of the ball screws and the mounts of the motors are sitting on 5mm spacers. Thouse I filed, sanded and lapped till the ball screw was parallel to the rails. Sure not the fastest way, but it worked...

Epoxy after few cycles of temperature alterations bonds faster. Mechanical dimensions probably would be better if temperature changes slowly, in controlled conditions. Please note, that epoxy could directly make good threads.

What are you using to grease your table saw? Looks like a neat time-saving and versatile option to use the table saw for aluminium :-)

@joergbeigang

4 жыл бұрын

It's tapping grease. And it's a special saw blade for aluminum. Every second tooth is a tiny little bit longer and got chamfered sides. And of course the angle of the teeth is less aggressive compared to a saw blade for wood.

Which class are your ballscrews? As long as repeatability is there you can map inaccuracies in software to deal with that as the machine mills. The project is looking great, well done.

@joergbeigang

4 жыл бұрын

I honestly don't know which class they are. The whole build is on a budget, so I bought cheap Chinese ones. To compensate the backlash in the control software would be an option. I just figured that Glass scales are absolutely affordable. Creating a control loop with that and linuxcnc sounds very interesting to me. I just didn't find anything about hobbyists using them. Wonder why. Anyway these are things to keep myself busy in the future. First of all I wanna get it working at all.

The test at 9:35 .. the scrawny swivel/articulated arm is nowhere stiff enough to be able to properly accomodate the forces from a 1/1000 dial indicator.. the whole arm simply flexes too much... use a different more rigid method or buy a hydraulic arm/stand (HG) (or an oversized NOGA like articulated arm mag stand).. anyway an awesome awesome machine that should make some nice chips soon :)

I observed that as well on the footage. The stand is indeed pretty flimsy. But it's somehow amazing how accurate it's flexing. I mean it moves tenth of millimeters and the results are all in a range of 1/100 millimeter. For sure I gotta find a better solution for that. And I'm happy that you like my build!

What do gou think about doing a summary video with narration? Condense all these build videos into maybe 25-35 minutes and actually talk about what you're doing and why.

Good point. I can understand that it's not always that easy to follow, also because I only recorded a small part of the actual work and often I was working around problems which are not that obvious. Making a summary video is of course a good idea, but it's also time consuming. And time is the crucial point here. I'm pretty busy at work plus I'm also renovating a house I recently bought. But it's definitely on my to do list.

Not at all. Was my first idea as well. Was drawing a few extrusion based designs in cad the last years. But wasn't convinced enough to actually start building one. And with this epoxy granite design I actually made, there was also the challenge of trying something new and see if it works out the way I imagined it. For me it's more about learning new things and pushing my own limits then comparing my machine to other home made ones. In the end there not only a machine, there are also new skills and experiences. Both quite handy for future projects :-)

Used some rails with bottom fasteners (screws go from the bottom), screwed it in place and then just poured the epoxy on top. fasteners served as anchors only, used also some nuts to add tension to the load and counter-screw them to the rail.
