I surprised Jim Mcgrew has not posted yet. I would ask that you take a look at a Camaster. It is not a bolt together machine. It is built solid with heavy duty steel tube. It can be customized to...

Ron The ball and screw is nice, but it is not needed for cutting wood. Rack and pinion will work fine. Although I have cut some thicker aluminum on my Camaster Corbra X2 and held a tolerance of...
I ran a water jet cutter for a few years. It's a neat CNC machine. I made a few fun items(cutting granite floor tiles) for personal use after work.The only bad part about running a water jet is...
The skate boards might be lasered flat on some 1/8"-1/16" wood veneer, then glued to the skate board. You could do the same thing then, use some clear epoxy coat with some light colored sand mixed in...
I always cut mirror acrylic from the back, and leave the protective paper on. I also put spacers under the acrylic to get it off the vector grid. It moves the smoke away from the acrylic faster. I...

Your questions and your job skills are just (C.N.C., water jet welding, and art background)like mine. I bought a 45 watt epilog Helix in 2005, (Then a C.N.C. router in 2009 but that's another story)...

As always Jim, outstanding work!
James the easiest way to determine if it is a mechanical issue is to turn the machine on and push on the gantry. There should be no movement.If there is movement you might have stripped something...
With the right software and a good photo you can put anything on wood. I did this in Aspire. The photo was from a free image on the web.
Brad, you might want to give Joey a call at Camaster. He can give you the advice on your specific needs for a C.N.C. They can build you a custom C.N.C. machine. If you are wanting to do more than a...
What Andy said is true. I was going to do the build it yourself route last year, and instead got a Camaster . And I am glad I did. What I didn't realize was how long it would take me to get...

Typically each of my cards go for...
One idea to get rid of the burn marks is to laser out just the box pieces not photos ect. and assemble and glue your boxes together as shown in your photo. Then lightly sand with a palm sander each...
