Why engineers tend to be so complicated or to over complicate simple things? Well I don’t know honestly.. it is what it is… Yesterday, after some tests of my Arduino code for the automatic finger jointer, I thought that it’s time to move a bit forward the design thing. The frame of this jig isn’t…

Arduino Box Jointer: one step forward
Today is the day of improvements. I finally had the chance to merge two different programs I’ve made for the LCD and stepper motor with my Arduino. Have a look at the video and if you want there’s the link to my GitHub page where you can find the Arduino code. Otherwise you can have…
DIY pallet and concrete countertop cabinet
Today is Saturday and I finally got some spare time to finish this simple project. I had a lot of wood pallet laying around my garage and instead of throwing it away I decided that it could be useful to build a custom sized cabinet for my balcony in order to store some stuff out…
FEATHERBOARD for BOSCH PTS10 table saw
3D printing is really awesome! With probably 1 euro of filament I just printed out a featherboard customized for my BOSCH PTS10 table saw. The set of print files (that by the way you can find on my Thingiverse page) includes the featherboard itself and the locking guide for the PTS10. Here is the link:…
ZERO PLAY GUIDE for BOSCH PTS10 (FINAL VERSION)
There you go, finally done. Everything looks good and works as it should. I printed it out with PLA plus from SUNLU. You can find the link here to download the print file .STL. I just printed out 4 couples! Stay tuned Max
Finally I won’t spend any more money on KNOBS!!
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3383113 Finally I can print myself the knobs I need in my workshop using a simple M5 bolt or nut and I won’t buy at crazy prices ugly knobs without the makeverse logo! Stay tuned! Max
Zero Play Bosch PTS10 Table Saw guides DIY
I know, I know.. too much thinks started, not one finished, but you know, I can’t wait one project to be finished to start another one, also because often you need to do new project to finish others. So this is the case: as you know I own a Bosch PTS 10 table saw and…
Arduino Box Jointer #1
Here is my first useful Arduino Project: it will use a Nema stepper motor with a ball screw, two linear guides and the structure will be built in plywood (I guess..). I wanted to take some inspiration from this project I found on Instructables: https://www.instructables.com/id/SmartJointer-SmartMiniArduino-Controlled-Box-Joint/ Unfortunately even though those guys shared their own arduino code,…
CNC Y-AXIS
Here I am again. I just received the ball screw and linear guide from Bangood and I have to be honest: the first one is worth it, the other one not at all. Therefore I decided to start my project with another linear guide, simpler and maybe cheaper: I am talking about the SBR12 and…
Arduino Smart Finger Joint Jig
Today I started thinking and designing a simple program for Arduino to control a step motor in order to make an automatic controlled Finger Joint Jig for my table saw. So far I own a BOSCH PTS10 table saw and I am building quite often any kind of jig: this will be the next one….
