General Mach Discussion / Re: Installing my new c3 index pulse card but having trouble

« on: November 28, 2010, 08:47:37 AM »

Mike,

Have a look at reply #25 in this thread: http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,6707.msg44145.html#msg44145

Along with Hoods past advice, this helped me a great deal as well to understand a bit more about the whole speed/index setup.

Hope that helps,
Dave

I would certainly think Roelli would be quite happy withthis screen set -

Even though it's not my style ( I like what are called by many: Loud and annoying screen sets, lol!), I'm seriously impressed with your work, as it's very clean and "classy" as always, Gerry.

But my favorite part is the brass ring fret marker inlays with the birsdseye in each one. 

Thanks,

Nice guitar build ya got going on. I see allot of cases there, which means you've made quiet a few guitars. I must have missed all the posts where your showing them off!

Actually that one was done years ago, and as for the cases, they're not all made by me

1 to machine and 1 for surfing!

Seriously, you're able to do that with no machining issues?

Nice looking machine Dave! Looks like your building a collection of clamps as well. One can never have to many clamps. Tweakie, my bet goes to Dave as finishing first.

Yes, exactly, when woodworking, you can definitely not have enough. That is only one section of my 3 sections of clamps! I have a nice batch of Pony Bar clamps and another section of handspring clamps as well.

2. The door should really be on gas struts which are expensive, what are your thoughts on having a air ram open the door? I have plenty of air rams and fittings so it wouldn't cost hardly anything.

I have the gas struts on my door of my little Taig, and love them. They were $12.00 each. After seeing how much you've put into this already, is $12 struts expensive?

I'm also drawing a blank when it comes to designing something to keep the vac hose "stabil" but still allowed to move up and down with the Z axis. I'm thinking of a type of collar coming off the spindle clamp mounting plate.

Any thoughts you guys/gals may have would be most help ful. I've seen some on some other router tables but nothing that has caught my eye as of yet.

Thanks,
Dave

Got the spindle clamp started and fired it up to surface the table today. Only had a 3/4" cutter so it took a little longer than it could have  That's ok though, got a huge kick out of chasing the router cable around the table so it didn't get hung up on anything  Have to get all the details taken care of like, homing switches, outlets, lazer and touch plate outlets, yadda yadda yadda....

Some pics for you...
