CNC Dust Control
I’ve got this cute little cnc3018. It’s portable so has potential for PR for CNCs in general. I decided to try an experiment with dust control. It came out great....

I wanted a prob for checking surfaces for slight deviations from flat. I poked around online and couldn’t find anything reasonable. So I made one from a broken endmill and...
I’ve been eyeballing those tiny CNC machines for a while wondering if they could be good portable machines for the makerspace meetups and the CD earrings project. My main objections...
This thing is a real gem. After about 8 years, it still runs like a top. Here’s a short video of a test jog after installing a new computer to...
Check out this cool drawing machine! As you can see I’ve already had it at the pub. I’ll be bringing this to more meetups and other socials! There are plans all over thingiverse...
I’ve got one of these machines. I’ll report more later after I’ve tested it more. 1 Effective working travel: 200(X)mm*300(Y)mm*50(Z)mm 2 Shape dimension: 550×400*350mm 3 Max.workpiece dimension: 200mm*300mm<65mm 4 Work table dimension: 200mm*300mm*15mm 5 Carving deepth:...
This is a “2020B” kit. It’s made from PVC. Assembly was pretty easy and fun so I highly recommend this kit to the right audience. It’s an affordable kit but is...
Yay, aacronyms. A PCB is a Printed Circuit Board which is for electronics. People usually get them made at Seeed Studio, Dirty PCB or use an old technique using chemicals....
We need a vacuum for the CNC613 project. I’m going to make a nice dust extractor but I wanted to pull something together quickly for the mean time. I came...
I’m putting together a CNC machine for the CNC613 project. I ordered a 6040 chassis from Shenzhen, China. That means it has a working area of about 60x40cm. Working height...
I need a cart for the CNC613 project. Here’s a concept I drew up that uses 24′ of 2×4 and 30′ of 1×4. I was thinking I’d use drywall screws and glue....
Put your keyboard on top of your monitor to save space! You can just grab it to do more serious typing or poke the keys while it’s in the tray....
With 3D Printing and other CNC fabrication being all the rage, scanning is an area of interest. The local library has acquired some equipment for scanning. I’m sure it works...
I love my CNC machine but it generates loads of dust and swarf. So much vacuuming. Even when I changed the vacuum bag often it was still overloaded and spewing dust out the exhaust....
The world needs more portable and accessible CNC stuff. Makers can visit venues with various cutters (and people have their own cutters) but I think it’s time for “pop-up cnc” that...
This is a simple tool but I wanted to share it since it has become so dear to me. It has performed so well over many years (for the intended...
