Xzero mini raptor

That's the way I see it too Bishop.

As far as glue line is concerned, it is just a matter of doing a few test pockets and compensating the cutter size until it fit perfectly with no glue line.

Willie brought good info here and shared his experience.

George, when you have a moment could you possibly post a picture or model of an exploded view of the ballscrew end supports and there components? Trying to visualize how these are fixed.

Also, are the rails on the mini 15mm?

Diameter of ballscrews on the mini?

Thanks

Rails are 15mm , z axis and Y axis are 16mm x axis long axis is 20mm

Motor side double row angular contact bearing, free end contact radial bearing

More questions

In case you missed it in the other thread, there were some additional questions.

To sum it up, the question is why secure the lead screw with a motor coupling? Why not thread the ends and provide the nut like almost everyone else?

Looks like the best CNC for the money that I have ever seen.

I agree 100%. I have a large CNC gantry system that I built myself but I'm about to spring for this one also and probably set it up for mainly a shaft tapering machine but also set up a couple other stations for squaring point inlays and mitering the veneers. There's no reason to change my present set-up as far as inlays go.

yes it's the nuts...who needs a 20,000.00 machine where not building submarine parts...just pool cues
the repeat ability is there.
cut out a circle and mic it...or cut a couple rectangles then mic those the numbers are there everytime.
once again George i can't wait to buy # 2

Leon,

I talked to George this morning and ordered mine.

I intend to keep my old machine too for certain jobs and also to have a back up contingency.

Thanks for your advice over the last 6 months concerning George and his product. It is a no brainer.

I am building a heavy bulletproof bench set up and can't wait to get it up and running.

I'm in the process of ordering one now. I'll be paypalling George the money in the morning once he sends me an invoice. I've got 3.5 CNC mills now. 2 gantry, one mini Sherline and a shaft machine I've been building. The thing is that the large gantry is the only one operational now. My intentions are to make this into a shaft machine with a couple of other set-ups for other things. I'll keep the present one for inlays and engravings as it does a very good job at that with no glue lines anywhere and it will make cuts faster than my endmills allow.
