Me too, but from time to time a friend would come with 2.5 meter model boat parts for 3d machining:

I'm in exactly the same position as you are in that I want an 8x4 router for full sheets.
Looking around I decided to go with a Joes CNC hybrid design- comes in around the 2-3K price or more! ,all upgradable from the basic model which starts out with a mix of materials -MDF ,HDPE ali and steel , right up to his new design which is called the evolution 2.0 which is all made from 20mm plate aluminium.
It is a paid for plans/forum which I have bought but you do get access then to all the upgrades available.
I have my base made now and just waiting on my aluminium profile rails to get started on the actual machine.
I will post up my build on here in case anyone would be interested.

Year 2018 at the prices of square linear rails, ball screws and electronics, i would not even think of making a MDF, V bearings, Rack and Pinion machine. That's it. Better make a small well made machine than a big joke. if people need following plans, there many machines in the forum to copy from, i have uploaded the plans of my 1st machine in Sketchup. And if need be i sell custom plans for a specific purpose pro machine like the one that i use.

So in short the free plans of my 1st machine are 10 light years away from Joe's 10 years evolution machine.

Read forums, learn and save money. There are so many wonderful builds and ideas in the forum, so there is no need at all of anything new to be invented.

V wheels are crap get linear rails

Even the cheapest clones are going to far superior to v wheels.

**GrahamWhite** · 19-03-2018

a quick reply would be linear rails ...yes please but £400 for linear rails or £30 for v bearings?
I've started my own build log so if you would like to direct any comments on my build choices please post on there :)
I'm not looking to hijack Hullmarks thread.
