Richard (Wolfgang) told me 3/32" x 2" o' Rings,
They are in the plumbing dept. at most hardware stores.
Mine came with 1/16...:confused:
The o'Ring grooves on the pully looks like 3/32".
I made this larger O.D. Pully to increase the speed.
Slips on over the original pully.
Material is from a old cutting board.. UHMW in white? (Ultra High Molecular Weight)
I wanted the O.D. Larger, but, this was the biggest I could open my chuck.. mmmm:mad:

Is There an End to the spending?

That is what I figured would be the case, that is why I was pointing Max toward a Bludworth.

I was hoping i could get away with spending under 5k for a machine to do full length butts.............My hind end is puckering just thinking about spending 8-9k..Not to mention my wife....Maybe a used bludworth will go on sale here soon..

You know that you could always build a nice 4 axis machine for around $3k..

That's been on my list of things to do for some time now, but somehow my list keeps getting longer and the CNC is getting further from the top.

I've been cruising the CNCzone site for awhile now looking for a design or a set of plans to get, but that site is too spread out and hard to navigate sometimes so I haven't spent much time there lately.

Anybody here have some plans or a build thread they'd like to share?
I'm wanting a 4 axis with a working area of about 24" x 36" minimum, as I'd like to be able to fit some cabinet parts on there too.

I'm leaning toward rigid rails and ballscrews, probably clocked ballscrews on the X axis. The Blurry unit seems a likely jumping off point, but I'd want something a little more rigid and thought out.

Brianna CNC

Actually I purchased the high end CNC from Brianna
I haven't really used it more than just trying it out.
I no longer have the time for it.
Any one want to buy it?
Make me a reasonable offer...He's asking about 7000$ new
thanks, go to Brianna's site for a picture.

cnc

email me about my Brianna high end cnc
I'll sell it if we can get together
it's virtually brand new.
I've only tested it a little
no time for it now.

NJ or NY maybe Pa delivery or pickup possible
cheaper than Brianna
 
Brianna Storm CNC

Has anyone purchased a Storm CNC from Brianna. I am interested, but would like a review from someone who owns one. Any info would be appreciated.
 
hightower deluxe taper machine and inlay machine

I may have to sell my hightower taper machine and hightower inlay machine (Stand Alone Unit)to raise the funds for a CNC machine. I have no room for all 3 machines. Would their be any interest in these units?
Bothe units are less than 4 months old.

There's a guy on Ebay that will sell you a small spindle for around $200-$300. I have that mounted on my breeze and increased the pully size so that it is spinning at 32K RPM's. It works quite well. When I cut a .125" box, it is .125". When I cut with the Kress, it is considerably less.

I'll be getting an NSK spindle with my new machine, but for the money, the guy on Ebay is hard to beat. However, you can't really cut points with the small spindle, but I don't really use my cnc for points anyway. It also takes less than 5 minutes to switch to the Kress if I want to.

You can do flat bottomed points (floating) with the Wolfgang, just not deep V as the collet is only an .125. V bits come in .250 and .500 and up shank sizes.

Trent, floating points are inlays. I think you mean spliced points. In order to cut spliced point groves you will need to be able to hold at least a 1/4 arbor. Also the cutter needs to be able to cut in at least a .500". This means that the cutter diametter will be at least 1.00". And that means you will be slinging alot of metal that may not be balanced. That poor little Wolfgang spindle will not handle that kind of tooling.

Jim.
