Re: CNC Router V1.0 (For Cutting Multiple Materials)
Hi all,
More progress has been made and my bank account is starting to hurt! I sorted the bolt problem, counter-bored the plate for M10 socket caps and then heli-coiled the extrusion to match.
I am taking photos as I go so I think I will do a big dump of information in one go rather than little updates every so often.
I have started to really think more about swarf and coolant removal during/after machining. Hopefully the paint diagram below will help explain what I'm thinking about doing. The gap will allow me to brush swarf straight off and into a bucket under the bench. Would the proposed design weaken the frame too much?

EDIT: Infact, could I even remove that extrusion completely or is it going to put too much outwards pressure on the sides?

Looking good Dave keep it rolling mate. .:applouse:
Re: CNC Router V1.0 (For Cutting Multiple Materials)
Nice work Dave. Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that counterboring?!
Re: CNC Router V1.0 (For Cutting Multiple Materials)
It was very satisfying. Made a big mess though!
