This is my home made DIY CNC and so far I’m very happy with it.. this is its first run.
- Steppers Nema 17. 12V
- Threaded rod and nuts (works OK but will need to make anti back lash nuts)
- Controller: 3 Axis TB6560 Stepper Motor Driver from Qualitygadgets on ebay (I must say they were fast shipping and it all works well! so I’m giving them a bump here – https://stores.ebay.com/qualitygadgets )
Over all its been very fun to build, most has just been from designs and ideas in my head along with allot of reading and research on CNCZone.com and other sites.
Now comes the fun and excitement of making use of it and learning more about Mach3 and LinuxCNC, woooohoooo good times!
The Video was taken at GeekSunday an event my wife and I hold each month here in San Jose CA
Thanks to Christopher Tuck and Brenda Make for all their help!

LP Latin Percussion Salsa Timbale Cowbell ES-5 &
LP Latin Percussion Black Beauty Cowbell LP204A
The LP Latin Percussion Salsa Timbale Cowbell ES-5 is specifically designed for salsa music. It is designed to compliment the voice of the timbales with a bright, cutting sound that is extremely lively. It is the smallest bell in the LP Latin Percussion Timbale Cowbell series. And it emits a clean, metallic sound with a root pitch of A4.
The LP Latin Percussion Black Beauty Cowbell LP204A is the most widely recorded cowbell in all history. It was also the cowbell featured in the popular SNL “More Cowbell” comedy skit. The LP Latin Percussion Black Beauty Cowbell LP204A offers a high-pitched, bright sound, and moderate overtones with a root pitch of G5.
In this video, you will hear these two cowbells in a basic salsa cowbell pattern and a 2/3 son clave pattern.
Vic Firth American Classic Hickory 5A Drumsticks were used in lieu of timbale sticks in this demonstration of the sound of the bells. Different types of drumsticks would certainly yield different ranges of timbre from each bell. Generally, whichever drumsticks are ultimately used to play the bells is left to the discretion of the player. However, Vic Firth American Classic Hickory 5A Drumsticks seem to be universally accepted and the standard among drummers around the world in every genre of music. So Vic Firth American Classic Hickory 5A Drumsticks were used in this demonstration.
The LP Latin Percussion Salsa Timbale Cowbell ES-5 in this video is equipped with the LP forged eye-bolt assembly to provide a sure grip to any 3/8″ diameter rod. And the “Salsa” decal is positioned on the playing surface rather than on the flank like its newer counterparts.
The LP Latin Percussion Black Beauty Cowbell LP204A in this video is equipped with the retro LP Latin Percussion wing screw clamp system to grip any 3/8″ diameter rod. It may be difficult to see the letters on its red-orange decal in the video, but they read: Something Very Special! Latin Percussion LP, which is a variation of the original LP Latin Percussion cowbell decal.
This video demonstrates a basic salsa cowbell pattern and a 2/3 son clave pattern which is playing at 81.5 or 163 BPM (beats per minute).
