Nickhofen thank you for your kind words!
The machine is 1200x960mm and work area around 900x600.. Im hoping for 150mm Z movement but I think I bought the wrong cablechain :D

You are my man, I try to build a cnc with similar dimensions but my cad abilities are below zero, sub zero, submarine etc....I will watch closely.
I have read yours and others guys builds in here several times and have take some good info, thanks for sharing,then and now!!!
What rails and screws are you going to use,stepper or rervo, can you give more info about your build ?

Good luck with the pour, keep bubbles out and maintain a reasonable temperature.
I think it would have been a good idea to include some diagonal bracing on the frame; http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/6565-...2425#post52425

Hehe we are the same on that regard! I train in cad as often as I can so that I may be able to do some magical stuff when the router is completed ;) I have two (soon three) small children so there is almost never time!

The router will have 20mm square rail on all axis. Sad to say I couldnt afford hiwin or THK. I went for Chinese copies :)
1610 ballscrews (2 for x axis) with special end machining to be able to take htd pulleys. I ordered 1605 for z axis but got the wrong one from China. Luckily I got full refund for it :)
Will use steppers, dual for x axis.

When will you start your build? ;)
