CNC Shark Forum

I had posted about replacing my Bosch router on the Shark Pro Plus HD and one of the forum members sent me some pdf documents about his upgrades over time. It was very good information but either in the email he sent or the pdf he recommended the following: Set your router on 3 and forget it. The Bo...

Thanks for your reply. I had thought of making a custom wrench out of an existing wrench but the needle nose pliers worked. People always come up with an answer when confronted with a problem. I bought my machine used and have visited the NWA site quite a few times. I find their amount information q...

I just installed the Dixie Billet Router Mount in my Shark Pro Plus HD. I also have the NWA dust boot with brush also attached. Does anyone have an opinion on the maximum depth I should put the router in the mount in relation to the table. I have a 3/4" MDF Spoil Board over my usable area. Should I ...

I just bought a used Shark Pro Plus HD and it had a beat up Bosch 1617 EVS. I have several PC 890 routers already in the shop and thought about buying a new 890. In the end I bought a new Bosch 1617EVS because i will use the old Bosch as a through down router in the shop. I will use the new router b...

Very cute. You grand daughter should feel safe from the monsters under the bed now. Everyone knows monsters cannot stand light.

Very Nice. Did you cut the box via regular tools and embellish with the CNC or did you cut everything on the cnc.

Can you please explain why you think you need Mach 3/4 software. The openbuilds CONTROL software is free and is supposed to run your cnc router. If you are using CAM/CAD software like you do now and then use the NWA Control panel to load your gcode files how is the blackbox different and needing Mac...
