DO YOU HAVE BLACKTOE MACHINES WITH TABLES READY TO GO OR HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE MAKE ONE?
Yes, we have the optional table for the blackToe, but we need to fabricate it, which only takes one day. We generally reserve one week for the total fabrication and packing of all parts.

Do you have a cnc kit that can cut 2-3" deep aluminum blocks and costs
Cutting aluminum is not a problem with our machines, as long as it is acquainted with a decent aluminum end mill and spindle, and the feedrates and speeds are being follow from the manufacture of the end mill. Now to have a 3" cutting depth, it is possible even up to our smallest machine (blueChick). I would recommend our blackToe due to the fact that you will have a bit of playing room if any other projects or requests might arise.

can your kits do bass guitar bodies and bass gutair necks
Our CNC machine kits can fabricate guitar bodies and necks as long as the CNC machine kit's routing area is large enough for the style of guitar body you intend on designing. Our blackToe is a good CNC machine kit for this application.

If I purchase the all I would need for this CNC to be fully operational is a laptop with mach 3 software and a router. Is this correct?
if you purchased the USB interface, you will need planet-cnc software rather than Mach3, and you will need a usb cable to connect the usb interface to the computer. The blackToe 2x4 CNC Machine Kit with optional table will need wire to connect the electronics. Don't forget to get some end mills to use for cutting the intended material.

I recently purchase the BlackToe v2.1 (4x8) at a local school auction. The table is complete, however, it is missing the spindle and came in 4 (four) separate pieces. Are there plans for this machine that I would be able to use to reconstruct and determine if anything else is missing.
Yes, you can find all of the instructions for the blackToe CNC Router here: https://buildyourcnc.com/item/cnc-machine-blacktoe-v4-2x4

I need to know if you have prices for educators, or other ways that a teacher could procure a blackToe 2'x4' CNC router. I apologize that this is sort of a bold question, as your routers are already well-priced.
We do offer discounts for academic institutions and instructors. Please contact us via the phone number above to inquire about our academic discount.

I have a Black Toe CNC with your optional table, and wish to extend the x-axis to 6' of cutting length. Is is as easy as ordering another section of table, longer x-axis chain, and longer x-axis rails? If so, would you sell these items?
The limitation of our machines lies with the width of our gantry, so extending the blackToe to 2' x 6' will not be a problem. Adding the required aluminum rails and chain is the essentials that we sell on our website(http://www.buildyourcnc.com/CNCMachineMechanicalParts.aspx). The table extension is something we do not offer. Please contact (customerservice@buildyourcnc.com) for custom requests.

I currently own a blacktoe router cnc.Want to convert to spindle.Do I use the same Z axis mount?
You will not be able to use a router mount for a spindle. You will need to get a spindle mount for your Z axis.
-
I built a machine using your original tutorial years ago. Do you still offer the code to run on this machine to make the 4x8 black toe?
Dealing with orders a few years ago, we did supply the g-code files for the machines that were purchased. However we do not supply any files to recreate our machines at the current moment nor do we plan on giving them in the future.

I am interested in the blacktoe but want to see on in operarion personally. is there one in lower Michigan. I live in Hillsdale Michigan area.
If you would like to see a machine in action, you can go to the forum and make a request in the buildyourtools.com forum.

How do I adjust the gantry/router mount so it is perpendicular on a Blacktoe machine.
Simple ways to get the z-axis router/spindle mount to be perpendicular to the table, you will have to get a level. Set the z-axis in place although you will have to remove it to tighten the top screws which will hold the top router/spindle mounts on the z-axis but you will be able to tighten the lower mount without having to remove the entire z-axis. Pending more info. Additional Information: It's not the Router that is out. It's the Z Axis, Y Axis not being perpendicular to the table. One of the problems was the double washer on the back side of the top rail V bearing. I took them off and ground down the screw head instead. Your instructions for building the Black Toe/Foot are NON EXISTENT, for want of a better word. I have buyers remorse. Additional Information: It's still not perpendicular but it's closer.

Hello, I have a BlackToe 2 x 4 machine. I was wondering if it could be beneficial, or even possible to install two motors on the x-axis (one one each chain drive sprocket). I am noticing a slight shift in the gantry with each reversal of direction. If so, do you have a kit or schematic for this? Thanks
it is possible to install 2 motors on a single axis but you will require another driver and motor, but wire it directly to the same pins on your breakout board. Also the orientation of your motor since it is opposite side of the original so getting it to move accordingly to the original motor it will need to be orientated correctly. The slight shift could be the cause of the rod not being completely flat where the set screws are suppose to tighten the sprocket to the rod, so sanding it to a flatter surface might fix the shift in directions. Currently do not have a kit or schematic available.

blackToe 2'x4' CNC Router - What are the actual x and y cutting dimensions (eg: 22"x46")
The actual cutting dimensions for our blackToe machine is 2'(24") x 4'(48"), the overall size of the structure built is a bit larger so that our customers have the actual size mentioned with each of our machines!
-
Can we prepare a for the blackToe
We do offer a table for the blacktoe which it is 2' x 4'.
-
Can I make the whole for the router larger? This is for a blacktoe and the whole is about 1/4 inch in diameter too small.
If you are using a router that will not fit into the router mount, it is best to have the mount requested from us. The mounts were designed with the appropriate thickness of material for structural purposes and to maintain this structure under load.

At 3:29 in the video "blackToe version 4 2x4 step 9 0001" it shows you inserting a bearing into the hole that the x axis shaft exits the router. That hole is 3/8ths on my parts. No 3/8 OD, 1/4 ID bearing came with my kit, but I do have a 5/8 OD, 1/4 ID bearing. Should I bore out the hole to 5/8 so I can insert those bearings?
This turned out to be a side-effect of the "foot logo" now being bored entirely through the gantry legs. On first inspection this made the two legs identical. I didn't notice that the hole for the X axis axle was bored out to 5/8, but only on one side. Not too surprisingly, I installed them on reverse sides. Pulling the legs off and swapping the side they were mounted on fixed the problem. I would suggest adding a note to the building instructions page to avoid this annoying problem. On the good side, the X axis now rolls much more freely on its rails after un-mounting and re-mounting the legs. Additional Information: Good catch and thank you for the information. We will clarify this on the video.
