I was my Steppers from V1 shipped with a 4 and a 2 pin extension and that had confused me!
Getting it mostly wired up today and going a lot (too much?) cable management.
If you need to use the extensions, make sure they’re taped or otherwise joined together well so that they don’t end up an intermittent connection point in the future.
Hi, new here and was browsing and saw your panel saw. Very slick idea. I figured out the green parts for the center/saw, but what are the yellow parts for the X-axis rails? Your mounts for the conduit also look wider? TIA
Does the saw in your panel saw rig pivot to both rip cut and cross cut? Based on what looks like two axes of motion, x and y, I am guessing it does. If so, please can you show me more pics of how you did that, how it works?
I have some sheets of aluminum that are about 3.27 mm thick. Some of them are 12"X12" and others are 16"x16" — I’m thinking I can attach a smaller piece permanently on the bottom of the saw, and have a 2-way slot like shown in the image, in a larger piece, for the smaller sheet to get clamped into, and make it work without losing too much of the saw’s cut depth.
Most circ saws I’ve seen/played with have enough room on the existing plate to clamp to without adding any extra plates. This is especially true if you don’t plan to tilt the saw and just leave it at 90* all the time as most panel saws are.
