Cool. Looking at mine more closely, it's definitely the wheels moving. I need to do some actual cuts and see how it performs. After discussing...
Thanks Rick. That's what I was wondering -- if the fixed Z beam was known to be stronger than the moving Z beam before I tear this thing apart.
Thanks! Definitely some options to consider. I'll see what I can figure out, and I'll definitely take it slow doing some test cuts as I make a...
It's a two-flute upcut Whiteside CNC router bit, 1/4", peck drilling holes in the MDF spoil board about 1/8" deep at a time. If I remember right,...
You're right -- it's definitely the wheels moving. I'm using a setup like the C Beam XL that has wheels and gantry plates on both the front and...
I'm in the middle of a build right now and I'm trying to figure out this exact issue. I'm with you on your reasoning. My question is this: Is...
Hi! I'm building a machine that's almost identical to this one and the Dollarz machine. Just got it running yesterday, and I noticed as I was...
Just got my machine running yesterday, and I noticed as I was drilling holes in my waste board that I'm getting deflection on plunges. If I grab...
Sounds good. I was thinking I'd put one of the verticals on the outside like some of the other guys have done so I can squeeze every inch out of...
I'm currently designing a similar machine. What's the max cutting area of yours?
Just replied to your private message with details. I'll try to get all the relevant links together at some point and update the build...
The TinyG documentation for rotary setup is definitely lacking. I'll get those settings for you next time I fire up the machine.
I'll get some pics when I have a chance. I'm in the middle of crazy festival season right now -- 4 shows in the next 5 weeks. I'll get some video...
Eddie, my headstock and tailstock came from a seller called gold-bucket. They're based in China, but have a warehouse in California, so shipping...

I make woodwind instruments for a living, and I'm designing a machine similar to the rotary builds by gwandad and dougsnash, specifically for...
Stargeezer, no worries at all. Joe, sorry for the delay responding. I didn't see your comment until just now. I've got everything aligned pretty...
My Z axis connects to the X axis exactly the way they show in the C Beam machine construction video. The vertical C Beam for the Z axis is bolted...
Larry, I just finished putting it together (mostly) and got it wired up on Tuesday. Still have a bit of work to do before I attempt some cuts with...
Here you go. This was my very first attempt at Sketchup so I was just focusing on the main framework and not worrying about showing all the little...
