Looks good!

What is that thing on your drill? Did you use it for tapping the threads?

Also see signs of a rotary indexer.

yes Gerald but this tool is for drill 0 to 90° and yes i use it to tap, drill tube, i post a picture of this tool in detail next, and yes it's an indexer i've started to make a support for the stepper motor.

your at home now, i think your trip was good:)

table finished start soldering connector's
 

i've finished the table this day, i start soldering XLR connector on moto's and cable tomorrow, that smell the end, the last picture is for Gerald, this is thel tool i use to drill and tap.

You've done a really great job with your MechMate - looks spot on perfect!

all finished, first and second cut test finished
 

hi all, it make me a long time to finish cable XLR sold, but it's now allright, i've just a little problem to reverse 0,0 home for job, because i want 0,0 on the front left side of the table, for this time i've made a job mirror on vcarve, but i try to find a solution. i post two picture's of my first cub job.

Mickey,

Very nice. Congratulations.

That first picture looks like some of my workers. :)

It moves! It cuts! Well done!

To change the 0,0 origin, the easy way for me is to reverse the direction of the motors. If you have wired the motors:

then change it to
In other words, reverse only one coil.

You can also change it somewhere in the Mach3 "firmware"

Mickey,

Fantastic job and such rapid progress!
Life is good in France:)

A few questions if you don't mind.
Have you a rough total of your costs to date ?
Did you source the electrical parts, motors, Geckos's etc in Europe or go direct ?
Is the donkey you cut out a bit of 'fun' try out or does have a purpose?

Hi Mickey, Please make your DXF file of the donkey available to me. The way petrol price is going up, I need a couple of those guys to take me around.

Nice work, wish I was cutting already, not just drawing pictures...BUT you must learn to crawl before you can walk.;)

ok, thank's for your reply, i'm not a newbie in CNC, i've worked in a workshop with a small CNC engraver, and vinyl cutter, and ~1 year ago i've allready made a small CNC to cut small motor model (plane, boat), i make the cost of my MM in few week's, because i don't have enought time to get it up to date now, for history, this donkey is for a village fair, it's the game "tail of the ass", the upside of the donkey is made with a lot of nail and the tail of the donkey have a magnet, for information the donkey is copyrighted, but i've made some modification on the clipart.

i'm alive
