CNC Shark Forum

I've bought my original shark (12x24, black) in 2012. While not a production shop I have used it fair amount in the past 7 years. I noticed recently that I have some play and definite rattle on the long axis. I can grab the gantry and wiggle it back and forth and can feel and hear a loose sounding r...

I have one of the original Sharks, 12x24. While I would like to upgrade it's not in the cards for awhile. I have been wanting to replace the original MDF table with something aluminum t-track like the new systems. Has anyone replaced their table with something like 8020 extrusions? I have limited cl...

I am using a Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook. Picked it up on Craigslist. I like it because everything is totally sealed and waterproof so I don't have to worry about dust penetration into the insides. I updated the hard drive to a SSD and am running Windows 7. I never have run into an issue with the USB ...

There is an old adage in woodworking, spend money on boards, not tools. Crummy wood = crummy project. Make sure to check the wood for embedded dirt, stones, random metal. Nothing ruins a bit faster or is more dangerous than a bit spinning at 17,000 rpm and hitting a hidden nail. I really enjoy using...
