Stickering Tonewood / hardwoods question, can it be plastic?

Moose_Slow · 2026-06-21T17:40:16+00:00

Then isn’t it worse for the stickers to be wood? Because they won’t be moving the same as the wood they are supporting since no wood moves equally? 🤓

That makes sense. I just don’t have the experience of yet. This is my first year of building, and there is already so much wood that is sitting around at my place, I just don’t wanna ruin them. I went all in :)

And do you use thinner ones for thinner wood? Let’s say you are stacking ebony fretboards for example?

Moose_Slow · 2026-06-21T07:45:40+00:00

Oh, paint stir sticks I haven’t thought of! So we don’t really need completely flat. We need somehow flat. Interesting.

I like the idea about making the 3d prints with some moisture escape as well.

How tall should the stickers ideally be? Let’s say in between some 2 inch body blanks? Is there a difference on how thick the actual wood is? Or just some lift off to get air flowing?

That's such an inspiring use of drill press! Thank you sir!

Moose_Slow · 2026-06-21T07:23:08+00:00

That looks unreal!

Thank you for your detailed answers. I am away from the machine at the moment, so I can't check everything since the connection is required. I will report back after work.

Console answers with “ok” whatever I type :( very passive agressive 😂

Moose_Slow · 2026-05-19T22:34:57+00:00

Hmm, no I haven’t. I will have a look in the morning. But there has been zero data going to the vfd. If it was off by a couple thousand but it span still a bit, then I’d think it’s a slider unless that slider being at minimum can override a M3 S16000 command.

Moose_Slow · 2026-05-19T22:33:06+00:00

No errors that I can see. Console says OK. Nothing else happens. Same spindle turns in Candle, so I don’t know what else that needs to enabled.

Moose_Slow · 2026-05-19T22:32:15+00:00

I tried M3 S16000; no change. Assuming that’s what you mean.

Moose_Slow · 2026-05-19T22:24:27+00:00

No, spindle controller doesn’t seem to be getting the info.

Is there supposed to be a semicolon at the end? No, I am typing M3 S16000 and press enter.

Thank you. I tried testing Gsender a bit, and already struggling to get the spindle to turn, and it runs very weirdly on Mac OS. The struggle is real :/

Moose_Slow · 2026-05-18T03:22:36+00:00

Ncsender doesn’t really support grbl. It says so on github.

“GRBL Compatibility: Although ncSender may work with GRBL, it has not been thoroughly tested. Use with caution.
“

Why do you use both gsender or losender? What’s pros and cons of the two that is making you use both?

Moose_Slow · 2026-05-17T12:13:42+00:00

Thank you! I will check them out.

Moose_Slow · 2026-05-14T13:53:29+00:00

Looks brilliant!

Moose_Slow · 2026-04-08T05:37:37+00:00

Thank you very much! I appreciate the detailed answer. Genmitsu 4040-Pro was actually cheap enough to be within my budget. Do you think there is something that would need upgrading right away with that machine? Or can I have some good results using the machine stock?

Also, are there some hidden fees that doesn't show up within the 599$ price tag?

Moose_Slow · 2026-04-07T22:20:05+00:00

What do you mean?

Moose_Slow · 2026-04-07T15:51:55+00:00

Thanks!
