OX Tale - the story of my OX build Garage cleared. OX plates and V-slot received from @plexer and RoboCutters.co.uk. Other parts on order from...
Some progress. I checked the Y pulleys again and found loose lock nuts - very embarrassing :( With all lock nuts tightened and checked, I still...
Thanks for the ideas, David. Some of them I've checked already but not all. For example, I hadn't realised that FreeCAD can do ramp / helix entry,...
Hi evilc66. This is the cutter: Bottom Trim The blades are fixed rather than replaceable inserts. When I hold it up against a straight edge,...
Made six test cuts with a 5mm spiral cutter. Depths of 1mm and 2mm. No tool marks in any of them. But ... In five of the six cuts, the cutter...
Have done some tests and measurements this morning ... Depth of cut the same at both the marked and unmarked ends. No wobble in the bit / chuck...
Hi Dany, I have tried wobbling the spindle mount and it feels solid. Not tried the spindle or bit. I will do that, and also try your idea of...
Hello Gray. I get the same pattern and depth of mark (as far as I can judge by eye and touch) at various Y positions on the board. So it doesn't...
Thanks, Glenn. I'll check that out.
More test results and photos. Plus a video. In all the photos, I am standing on the negative X side of the machine, with the X axis running...
Won't be able to cut further test pieces or post a video until tomorrow. Here are photos of the gantry. I've also written some test gcode to...

Laser cut mounts for limit switches. Made from 3mm acrylic. For mounting details, see my build (OX Tale | OpenBuilds) or message me. The X and...
Thanks, Serge. Makes sense.
Another thing maybe to clarify / fix. The comment against 8mm screws (cell A52) says "6mm plates require 10mm here". I think this only applies...
Hi Serge. The spreadsheet specifies three pieces of 20x60 for the X axis beam (two pieces) and rear support. The Build 81 model has the rear...
Hackscribble published a new build: 1000mm x 750mm OX with some planned enhancements. My first venture into CNC. Read more about this build...
Is anyone planning to install the extra pair of wheels on the taller Z-plates? If so, have you found a UK source for 4-hole spacer blocks, or are...
