Hi Kostas and welcome. Good luck with your build. Them parts that are laser cut and bent you can order from any company with laser cutting machines. I am sure you can finde some in Warsaw. I used a company called Blehinger as far as I can remember and they are based in Wroclaw. I emailed them dxf files from download page and they agreed to do that. Oriental motors I got from Poznan company name is Masterpol and the bearings are from SuperiorBearings. com. Hope that helps.

my router.At the moment I have all parts laser cut and bent.Now,as I am temporarily,

Good to be back. Although I visit the website every day I havent posted for a while now. I have installed my MechMate with dust extraction system and laser crosshair for zeroing X and Y. I use game pad for jogging the machine. I switch on ond off the spindle and laser using the pad. I will post some more photos of the set-up soon. I cut it yesterday the piece is 225 mm wide by 320 mm high.

Good looking work there Martin!

Are you willing to share the settings used and what was done to get the router to switch on ond off for the spindle and laser using the pad?

Thanks,
Travis

I am using chinese water cooled spindle. The VFD that drives the spindle is connected to the PMDX on board relay contacts. The ports and pins tab for spindle setup contains relay control and you should unchek the box 'disable spindle relays'. You should set both CW and CCW outputs with 1. I had to modify standard Mach3 screen a bit for the laser to be switchable using my pad. Screen 4 and KeyGrabber is all you need to achieve that. I am using a cheap game pad but that is working fine. As far as the laser is concerned I am using 'Flood/Mist Relays' to switch the laser on and off and I can use the screen or the pad to do that. Although the laser I am using needs 3 vdc I connected it directly to the PMDX and is working ok.
