Hey guys,
I decided that it was time to try and produce everything in house for mine and my fathers business.
To start with a plasma cnc cutter would definatly be most welcome, but the prices that these things sell at arnt really in our budget, so this is where the DIY bit comes in.
Ive had a chat with a couple of the guys on here and i have to say im impressed by there support and information that they handed over. So thank you guys!
Ive decided that i like the look and simplicity of the Precision Plasma http://www.precisionplasmallc.com/My_Homepage_Files/Page4.html
some help on how the Y axis work would be good as the pictures dont show a great deal.
Does anyone know where i can get or have made the gear reduction for rack and pinion?
The list of materials i have are;
2 x Nema 23
1 x Nema 34
1 x 1500mm 20mm ballscrew with 20mm pitch
1 x 1500mm 20mm ballscrew with 20mm pitch
1 x nema 34 mount with bearings
2 x nema 23 mounts and bearings
4 x Supported round rail and bearings
2 x unsupported round rail and bearings
1 x Uniport
2 x PS407 power supplies
3 x PM542 microstepping drivers
Please ignore the picture below as this is off the old thread and i dont know how to remove it
