Well done Ed.

CNC Cookbook changes it's pages regularly and it's links change. I had been unable to find the cube making link as well.

SmoothStepper USB / Re: Smoothstepper disconnect safety concerns

I just can't resist putting my spoke in again on this thread.

No matter how unlikely, sudden and unexpected, power outages will and do occur at the most inappropriate moments. The design of all machines must be able to handle a sudden power disconnection in a controlled and safe manner. The ultimate and effective emergency stop will disconnect all power to the machine instantly. In other words - if for some unlikely reason the software polled e-stop has no effect on a runaway machine then pull the power.

Nice set-up Vince.

It seems that your wife is a lot more understanding than mine.

Yup ! - it's all Marcel's fault. I have bad dreams about cubes. I just want to get back to the wood routing.

SmoothStepper USB / Re: SS DISCONNECT SAFETY CONCERNS

« on: January 19, 2009, 12:33:36 PM »

I am in full agreement with Jeff here. I have had the SS for some time and it is an excellent product. OK I use the E-Stop function but my real Emergency Stop disconnects power to all functions of the machine instantly. SS has not killed a man as the thread title states (in the event that I am wrong then prove it !).

That's neat Ed.

One thing that Marcel should have mentioned in his posts is that once you make one of these cubes, all your friends that see it want one too.
So making just one is no good, you have to make lots.

I think that we all deserve to see a routed or engraved 'Road Runner' after all this. Come on WAC make something real good.
