The Beaver CNC HDZ Lives!

Unsupported

Hello all,

As you will be aware I’ve been working hard on my Beaver CNC super heavy duty Z/X. Well today is the day that my dreams have become reality. I’m pleased as a peach to say the first orders are now being assembled over the next week! Thank you again to all my backers, you guys are awesome!

With that in mind this is what I’ve been working on - and here are some videos of the final assembly! It’s solid and looks bang tidy in precision milled anodised aluminium. It will be compatible with the suckit dust boots very shorty and power lifts a 2.2kw water cooled spindle for breakfast.

The stars have aligned. When I bought the XXL I bought some blue ttracks. Guess it’s time to get a new wasteboard made.

Not the best photo, but gives you an idea…

is this plug in and play? Assembled?? Kit? The reason I’m asking is because right now I gotta cut a bunch of fishing lures out for the Fall Striped Bass run and cant afford the down time with messing with the calibrations and adjustments and unassembling the old and installing the new. Not a big fan of the belts but they are getting me by. Damn I would love to see someone come out with a ball screw X and Y axis kit. I already upgraded my XXL base to a 5/8" Mic 6 Aluminum plate so I guess this will be in the works for the Fall

Fully assembled kit with all the parts you need. Bolts right on. Installation should take you approx 1 hour. All software changes are detailed in the instructions which I’m more than happy to share?

Hi Richard

Shipping on the next batch of 5 will be late next week or early week after.

Through the site I can take payment by credit/debit card or I can also take paypal if needed.

Good morning @Jkanzaki

  • The first batch is sold out, but the 2nd batch should be in stock late next week with shipping the following week. This 2nd batch is going fast. The 3rd batch will be approx 3/4 weeks.

  • Myself and suckit have designed a kit. My axis comes with adapter mounts but you will need the new low profile arms from suckit.

  • Yes you can, I’m trying to push orders through the website. I have enabled paypal as a payment option. Head to www.beavercnc.co.uk and you can complete checkout there.

Thank you,

Luke

Thanks for your reply.

I see you have a beefier motor at your website, is it for the Z axis?

Also you sells the proximity switch, do you have installation instruction or video of how those work?

cheers

Hi Henry

The beefier motor is actually for the X, although granted you can use it on any axis.

I don’t have any media around the prox kit at present. I’ve got all the kit but need to put the kit together. It works just like the standard but is more accurate and repeatable. I’m so bust sorting out the HDZ I haven’t been able to focus on this kit (yet) :smiley:
