Good that you're still going with it, your gantry looks well out of square in pic 2!!

WASSON! OK so i've stalled HARd! on the re-build of my sheet cutter CNC with aluminium frame.
Whilst we are waiting for that i built 2 small 450mm x 450mm cutting area machines using belt drives.
One's at my mates being abused so no pics there but here's the other one (waiting on the post for parts)

Why thanks bro, from the Frankenstein beginnings to my little neat one, it's been loads of fun.
When you see my sheet cutter you'll see the neatness hasn't made it that far.

I had a quick browse of your build log. looks like your making head room.

BTW i know Nout just like you, however it seems it's not as hard they say.

Cheers, yes there is a lot of foreign terminology which is really hard to understand, but im slowly getting there just trying to get my setup finished. Really is a lot of fun though and learning so much every time a spend a few hours on my cheapo machine

[CNCKitMan]

Yeah, I felt the same. I'm not one for terminology. but sure is fun!
