Hello everyone! This is the first forum I've signed up for, and this is my first post.
I'll be hoping for advice & info (I know what I'm doing, but I'm willing to take a second opinion on it !-) for a proposed new build of a moving gantry machine...
...4 feet square working area (to take 1/2 sheet size), and Z of 4 - 6"....and I'll be running it with EMC(2)
Still at the contemplation/consideration stage at the moment - a wee bit away from listing and ordering parts and materials, just yet!
i found committing to the final design and ordering the parts bloody difficult, waving goodbye to a large wedge of cash and getting it wrong would hurtQuote:

taking your time is better than re-working a poor design and its sooooooo easy to miss something obvious when your juggling so many options
its worth posting your ideas so we can pull them to bits :lol:
good luck :)
Indeed - the disadvantage of this is we will cost you a lot of money.Quote:

Hi Mark! Thanks for the (encouraging :-) response... and congratulations on being the first reply to my first post on the first forum I've joined. That's why I'm here - to post my ideas for destructive criticism - pull them to bits, by all means; I expect it'll save me the bother of doing it myself, a few times over!
FMI: If I understand the forum concept, this is where I should start a new thread on the 'New Build' string thingy - is that right?
Cheers,
Eric.
Thanks James, (above) and Jonathan, (above above); I expect this project will cost a lot - I have budgeted for, and saved up, a four-figure sum for starters, so the 'wedge' is on hand (just pass the hammer :-).
Cheers, chaps!
yep, just start a new thread in "router build logs" youll suss it all out as you go alongQuote:

we want full documentation photos and video on the blood snot and heart ache of the whole event :eek:
its a lot of work and it can be a nightmare at times but watching your machine spring into life and carve a super accurate component for the first time is mind bogglingly satisfying :)
