I had no idea where to put this or even what to name it, but this seemed like the best fit.

Over the last couple of months, I have been building an OpenBuilds OX. I have everything complete except the router. It cuts air like a champ and is much faster than I thought it would be. It's ...

I know I can get them to sit still that long individually, but it may be difficult in multiples.
She has taken several pictures of them all, but not arranged the way she wants. I have no problem breaking them up.

She got married in October and her husband is a vet, also.
Between them, they ...

I could've gotten by with a 24" x 18" model, but this one is 36" x 24" and I use the 36" width quite often. Once I determined what brand ...

CNC machines and lasers are two completely different animals. I looked at both several years ago and decided that a laser would be much more versatile for what I wanted to do.

Lasers will do some things that CNC machines will do, but CNC machines do mostly things that lasers won't even think about ...

JD,

I'm not an expert, but I'll try to help. It looks like your calculations are correct. The only issue that I see is that 5.7295 is the diameter of the gear, not the diametral pitch.

The spacing of the teeth on a gear is indeed along the circumference, so in your case, it is 1.5". Also, since ...
