It's a really nice design, very to-the-point and functional.
Hi Andy, really nice work. You’ve inspired me to build one similar only slightly smaller. Can you tell us what your table size is as well as your X, Y, Z travel?
Hey thanks!…work envelope is 16.5x15 and I have a Z travel of 7”
Nice! What bit were you using on the aluminum?
EVIL!! love it
32:10 those fitting look like type A flow control fittings. They control the air flow going out, not in. You need type Z fittings for this application.
Ahh makes sense, thanks!...I believe i found the correct ones on automation direct. They are calling them meter in and meter out...I need a meter in. This has been an annoyance I didnt understand and never really looked into, so itll be nice for these to work correctly. Thanks again!!
@@am0254338 you’re welcome. You got yourself a nice machine there, good work! I’m working on building my own these days. Videos like yours are an inspiration. Thanks.
Can uou share the link for the software that you used for bellows? Thanks!

sir, where did u buy those bellows way covers ?
I built these bellows from scratch, they were very time consuming and not a lot of fun, but turned out well...I couldn’t find any bellow solution without paying a lot for something custom made...I used PVC vinyl coated polyester from here www.seattlefabrics.com/60-10-Ounce-PVC-Vinyl-Coated-Polyester-1399-linear-yard_p_134.html . In order to get the pattern correct I used this information and software www.franksworkshop.com.au/CNC/Bellows/Bellows.htm . I glued the pvc vinyl to brown Kraft Paper with high quality vinyl top and upholstery adhesive sprayed thorough a glue gun (not aerosol) . The Kraft paper allowed me to draw the fold pattern. Then I folded it all by hand and let it set in some clamps a few days...this is a frustrating and very time consuming process but does give a really nice result. Thanks, Andy
@@am0254338 thank you for your feedback and the resources. Cheers
you are using linux cnc, what breakout board are you using ? Is it a usb based or parallel port board ? I have been using mach3 for my current cnc mini lathe project and also for another DIY cnc router. I was just curious about linux cnc controller and breakout boards.
After many suggestions from the Linux CNC forum I went with the Mesa 7i76E ethernet controller board...I planned to go with a much cheaper option, but decided I needed to spend the extra money here...no regrets there. It works perfect and has enough expansion capability that I could do anything I want in the future, without adding anything or changing anything....since I didnt have to pay for the Linux CNC software, that counteracts the cost of the board. I really like the software itself, but the setup has a bit of a learning curve. Once you wrap your head around it though, it's pretty simple. Hope this helps. Thanks, Andy
@@am0254338 thank you Andy for sharing your knowledge and information. I will look into the mesa board. I am happy with Mach3 at the moment and keep linux cnc for the future. I invested alot in both lathe and mill projects and would like to start making stuff.
