As suggested in another thread, here is a starter thread showing a collection of finished DIY router builds from members of this forum. If Lee is OK with this (could it be a sticky?), my suggestions for rules are:
- Pictures / video of the finished machine only (no build progress)
- Specification of the machine
- Hyperlink to your build log (if there was one)
- Materials you machine with it
- Maybe some comments on how it runs, what you might change next time etc.
No follow-on comment replies or the usual thread discussion, just the single post. Here is mine to kick things off. Feel free to add yours after it . . .

Transmission: 1:1 ball screws 1605
Motors: X,Y,A = Nema23 3Nm at 72V (DIY linear PSU), Z = Nema23 1.8Nm at 72V, all DQ860MA analogue drives
Breakout board: DB25 (Free simple board which came with the drives - OK so far . . .)
Spindle: 1.5 kW watercooled spindle with Huanyang vfd/inverter
Frame- 80x80 heavy gauge aluminium profile, bolted
Gantry- 80x80 heavy gauge aluminium profile, bolted, plus aluminium box section sides, bolted
Build log: http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/6988-routercnc_MK3
Machines: liteply, wood, and occasional aluminium
Notes:
1. Works very well for intended purpose (wood mostly).
2. Would go with 1610 ballscrews on X and Y next time, most likely digital drives, plus at least 2.2 kW spindle to allow tools up to 12mm.Last edited by routercnc; 05-08-2016 at 10:51 PM. Reason: more details, more photos
