    ELS Electronic Lead Screw Concept

    I am not sure if it is of interest, or even helpful to your project, but an ELS project is discussed and developed on a YT channel - Clough42 - that I follow. Here is the first of many videos created by James on his ELS build: Tom

    Fixture plate for CNC Router

    Did you achieve those tolerances for the pins using end mills to machine the holes/ Did it require trial and error testing beforehand. Sorry if you mentioned this before, I did a quick skim read and didn't see that information (doesn't mean it's not there :) ). That plate will offer so much...

    Fixture plate for CNC Router

    Looks great - thank you for the update. How did the fixturing pins fit? Are you using metric or imperial for the fixture? As an aside, I spoke to the Cancam rep a while ago. Very friendly and helpful, even invited me to their location to show me the CNCs in action. I don't have the room - or...

    Toronto East End - Where to source Material and Tooling for the little guy

    Great news, thank you. My first project in aluminum will be a vacuum fixture plate using cast aluminum plate - I found a source for that. But I will keep your material in mind for my next projects. Could you share your approximate location - postal code perhaps?

    Toronto East End - Where to source Material and Tooling for the little guy

    Thank you for sharing this. Are these examples of material you have from time to time as off cuts from your work, or a one time selection? I am in East York, and could use such aluminum for future projects, or to practice tool path strategies/test end mills. Tom

    Fixture plate for CNC Router

    Thank you for the information on their website - I will check in from time to time to see if they update it. Again, it looks to be a very capable CNC, and given its construction I imagine it can hold fine tolerances well. Being too busy to update one's website is a good thing :)

    Fixture plate for CNC Router

    I am new to CNC machining, and have only recently completed my ATC/Masso build. I am slowly learning the CAM side of things (I am teaching myself to use F360), and starting slowly with milling as I get to know my machine and tool paths. I started with machinable wax, then moved on to acrylic and...

    Fixture plate for CNC Router

    Thank you for sharing that. I had been to Cancam's website before but never seen that model (C1) - I still do not see it on their site except for some videos. It looks like a nice machine - nice balance of size and functionality, and a very clean design. I believe the Taiwanese motion hardware...
