Gene,
Just a dir listing, I haven't written a page yet.
I think I started the other way around.
I've got a page but no photo's yet - At the end of the day I never find
(ehh.. take) time to make some photos but today will hopefully be different.
The machine is working, spindle is attached and electronics mounted on a
piece of MDF wood for the time being but I haven't got any decent
milling cutters left so I'll have to wait until I can do some real
milling until my order arrives.
See: http://www.myvoice.nl/freesmachine/?lang=en (I hope to add some
real photos tonight or tomorrow).
Warning, beginner at play, comments (good/bad) all welcome. :-)
All bad ... the machine seems to be still in building stage but it's
already being put at use (but then - don't we all: I do! :-) )
At least I would shield the motors and their connections to the thread
screws. I bought some thick plastic foil that Ikea sells as
protective/non-slip stuff for kitchen drawers and cabinets, it's
flexible and does withstand some mechanical abuse - will add some photos
of this too.
And when you're at it, also put a 'curtain' in between the PC and your
mill, chips fly everywhere and keyboards specially don't like metal
chips ...
Oh yeah, and an emergency button won't hurt - may even save your
machine, I was almost too late hitting the F1 button yesterday.
Also make sure that all cable are firmly attached. Vibrations of the
spindle and the stepper motors will eventually cut the cables in places
where these rub against metal sheet.
Looks like a list of things to do on my machine ...
Regards,
Rob
P.s: I hope this one arrives at this list without too much problems - it
sometimes takes my mails 2 days before being accepted by sourceforge's
mailserver :-(
