Got some 32mm mdf for the base and 16mm for the spoil board . Got the base screwed down and even managed to cut out a little project. I think the results are good and I am happy with the over all performance of the MM.
Attachment 3628 Attachment 3629 I believe that I may need to upgrade to belt reduction as I am not totally happy with the finish. Don't get me wrong, the results I am obtaining with direct drive are more than acceptable for a wood working machine, I would however like a slightly better finish Attachment 3630 These marks are fairly fine and could easily be removed with very little effort with some fine sandpaper and for a lot of projects these would not be of any great consequence. The 3:1 belt drive might just be the solution. I will keep you all informed on how I get on. Jayson. |

Hi burtpara and blakekoehn,
sorry I missed these posts. Here is a copy of the file. I have converted it to dxf to upload here. If it doesn't work let me know. Jayson |
Thanks Jayson, I have been collecting these kind of things from the various forums. I hope to build some of them but most of them never see the light of day because of my "time deficit":rolleyes:

Blake, looks like lots of us have this problem. Kids, Wife, Business, Job, etc., etc., etc.... (sometimes more than one). This can really take its toll on your "Mechmate Time". I really love making stuff on the Mechmate, but time is really an issue. My suggestion is to schedule a set time on the weekend and do the CAM stuff in your spare time through the week. It works for me. Good luck!!
