Dont forget us once you have it running

I actually ordered a dial gauge last night so I can measure the runout. I will do my best to keep you posted

Received some more packages recently; somecopper clad PCBs and the M5 spiral flute tap. It almost feels like Christmas with packages arriving almost every other day lately
Doh, I've still to order some end mills! Got to get that sorted this weekend, I don't wanna be stuck with a running machine and no cutting tools :p

Some 100x70mm PCBs for future projects and the M5 tap needed for assembly.

Have now gotten most of the parts needed for the build, except the hardware kit from A/S/L, although it should ship this week.

Ordered a runout gauge to measure the CauCau and set up a crude bench test today. See the short video below for the measurements.


Measured on an 8mm ballnose end mill.
1st measurement as close to the collet as possible: ~0.03mm
2nd measurement at ~25mm from the collet: ~0.18mm

Moar parts!
Heatshrink tubing, cable sleeves, XLR connectors, dial gauge, USB adaptor, panel mount IEC, micro drill bits, V engraving bits, 8mm ballnose end mill

How are these stepper motors? Would you recommend them? Where did you get the drivers?

Thanks!
