CNC – At last!
The CNC machine is functional. I had been on a bit of a mission lately, to get the machine up and running. Among things that needed to be fixed, replaced, or installed: – The router bearings were going out, so … Continue reading

CNC – going in a new route
My new Porter Cable 892 router showed up tonight. First thing I did of course was to remove the handles so I can start looking at getting it mounted to the CNC. I’m going to have to do some cutting … Continue reading

CNC build – update

CNC Build Day #1 – making sawdust
Now that I have all the wood onsite and more or less marked, and a jig to help me drill straight, I decided to start in on the build. In the videos, PH-D (the author of the book and owner … Continue reading
