Yeah, I've pretty much posted the answer key up here. lol Be sure you work through to the recent videos, where I cover all of the advanced options, like setting up ohmic sensing ($2 upgrade) and the THC (either with the XBox 360 controller or an Arduino). Just finished editing that series today, so your timing is perfect. Just a heads up, if you do go with the 2x2 square tube gantry and skateboard bearings, the way I've shown here, you probably will want to upgrade them at some point. It works, but there's enough slop in the system that everything is +/-0.050" or so. Good for prototyping, but for production work, better bearings will yield better results. Get it, bro.
@@swolebro Thanks for the info ...I've actually went for the most efficient way to use my limited time and resources (space I got ) so I've got someone to 3d print a " low rider" for me ,so I can do a full sheet but the table is a copy of yours and thus 2x2 square tubing so I can upgrade later to linear rail and rack and pinion , I've got a raspberry pi3 B+ pushing ugs as I could not find a breakout board for Linux cnc that did not get missing in the post and refuse to purchase another board ...customs has not cleared my second one from Feb 2019... Any ways thank you again , once people understand what ur doing u are going to get swamped with subs for sure .
As in what? I'm not following what you mean. Resquaring things only takes a minute or two, and normally only needs to be done after some of the roller bearings have worked loose and let it get out of square. It's as easy as loosening up the bolts that hold the motor carriages, unplugging one motor, jogging the other side a little bit, then tightening things back up and plugging them in.
@@swolebro thanks for your answer, but i mean using microswitches at home position for each stepper. This way on every homing, your machine will be pependicular. This would work if you use a driver for each motor, and the switches are perpendicular, but anyway. 🙂
Hi, Thanks for your cnc videos; I am looking at the plasma build and linuxcnc set-ups. Can I ask the VNC program on the linux box you're using? Does it interfere with the real-time functioning of linuxcnc? Thanks again.
Ha, an easy one. I already typed this up: github.com/swolebro/swolebro-youtube/blob/master/linuxcnc/misc/vnc-remote-desktop.rst Your mileage may vary, of course, depending on software versions and stuff. If you can provide feedback on what did/didn't work in those instructions, either via a GitHub issue or pull request, then that can help improve that page.
Try learning how to use a grinder to sharpen your drill bits by hand and once you figure out the angles and reliefs you’ll never call a drill bit trash till it’s almost a nub again even the cheap ones
Oh for sure, I've saved many twist drills that way. If I recall correctly, there I was using a conical step bit that was already way past that point. Chipped, un-tempered, etc. and Harbor Freight had plenty more where the came from. Thanks for stopping by.

Iow if I fail, I want to fail cheap ;)
niceeee 👌gatherin parts for mine....
Hello, have you thought about doing auto squaring in the future?

@@swolebro Thanks. I should have been able to find that from your provided links. 🙄
