Yeah, I'm really anxious now.



Possibly. I'm not sure how much vacuum you would need, but the table is pretty capable.

I had a little more time tonight, and was able to get the vacuum assembly finished. As of now, the vacuum table is completely ready to use. I am pretty happy with the way that things turned out. ...

Well, even though it might be enough, I won't be finding out. I've got a nice vacuum motor I'll be hooking up in the next few days.

I came home from work today to find a nice sized box on my front porch. Inside was one of the last items I needed for setting up my Romaxx CNC machine. It was a VT6040 vacuum table that I had...

Lol, I do have two videos linked a few posts up. Granted the quality is lower than I would like, but at least you can see the machine moving. :D

Now that's pretty interesting. Thanks for the pic. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I do know I'm not going to do a huge foot assembly like you see on a lot of machines.

Thanks man. I'll get a hose mount figured out soon. Cuts that don't take long aren't so bad for holding the shop vac, but I don't want to follow the mill around for some of the bigger jobs. :)

I managed to make a few cuts today guys. I was having a z-axis plunge problem which you will see in the first video in particular. (I've got videos 2 and 4 linked below). Apparently it's an...

Oh believe me, I've come up with a whole list of things I think I need to make...

You know you want one! No, I take that back... you need one! You can justify it, right, right?? :D

It was pretty wasn't it? Lol, I had to change it though, and the new one will work just as well.

I'm going to make little clear plastic loops to put over the camera lens. I can just swap them...

Okay guys, since I have a habit of never being satisfied... I made a few changes to my CNC router. After my dry run with the picture in picture webcams, I started thinking about how cool it would be...

Hey guys, I did a live streaming test tonight on a dry run. I was having mic issues that have since been fixed. I was also experimenting with a dual webcam setup just to test it's feasibility. I'm...

It most machines that would be correct. However, I'll be using denatured alcohol in mine. It has great lubricating properties when cutting aluminum and evaporates quickly. It should be relatively...

Thanks mate! I just happened to have some gold anodized aluminum on hand. :D



Thank you. The airbrush will be triggered on constantly. Since the pump is activated on demand, there is no...

While I know everyone is anxiously waiting to see the CNC running, I needed to take care of a few small details first. One of those details involved a custom misting solution for cutting aluminum. ...

Thanks man! I'm still waiting on the end mills to arrive, and I've got to get the software sorted out. I'm hoping for cuts in a week or so!

Are you guys ready for this?

Well, it's finally arrived! Thanks to Ron Rogers of Romaxx for making this possible. What you are about to see is the unboxing of a shiny new HS-1 CNC router.
...

Yeah, me either. I haven't worked with CNC since I was in high school, and that's been quite a while ago. This thing is going to open up quite a few new possibilities for me.

The sad part is,...

Well, disturbed13 at bit-tech managed to pry an upcoming sponsor out of me...

So, since the surprise is out there, I might as well make the official announcement. I've been speaking with Ron...

I had a little time over the weekend, so I thought I'd make something special for everyone that has been following this project. This is a video walkthrough of OSIDIAS. It explains how some of the...

I really need to make an update here! The Viliv has arrived, and I'll be doing a video review of it shortly. In the meantime, I've been playing with other ideas. You see, with the addition of the...

Yes, I've convinced myself that a little OC is good enough... I'm running at 4Ghz on my i7 :D Anymore really isn't needed for what I do. If anything I need more memory yet...

Yes, the original...

No worries... I thought I was having deja vu for a moment there...

Lol, I think my wife would kill me if I took the time to write a newsletter...

I've got lots of thoughts about this being an entertainment hub. In fact, that's part of the functionality the UMPC...
