Square Channel Nuts For My Laser Engraver Belt Tensioning Have Arrived!
[ Friday May 3rd 2019 at 12:24 pm ]

My laser engraver came with standard hex nuts for tensioning the belts. They just aren't doing a good job. They slip. In turn the timing belt used to set the tension doesn't hold.

The aluminum tubing making up the frame of the laser engraver has the capacity of using channel nuts. I found suitable channel nuts, ordered them and they have been delivered. I am hoping during the next few days I am able to get these installed and commence the next round of testing.

I am getting close to the laser engraver to work as expected. There are very few things left that can go wrong. I am pleased. A friend is helping me through the teeth troubles.
