First Build - Yet Another Alu Profile Router - 900 x 800

[CaptainBarnacles]

I'm back!

It's been more than a year since my last confession. In that time I've moved house, changed jobs, started new projects and generally transitioned into a new life. The best part is that I now have a huge (but very cold) workshop in which to play and more time to play in it!

I have been slowly accumulating parts and ideas for my CNC router and I'm ready to pick up my project again from where I left off. I am currently pondering my motion controller choices (AXBB-E, Acorn, old PC with LinuxCNC or other - I think I've ruled out Mach3/4), sourcing some cheap aluminium plate (seemingly no such thing exists!) and refining my design (still struggling with Fusion).

When I get something that you won't laugh at I'll post my latest design for a bit of critique and guidance.

Cheers!

That's exactly why there are no detailed photographs of my machine on the forum.

Re Fusion 360: I know it's very powerful, it's free and I would benefit significantly from mastering it, but every time I try to get competent in it's use I get frustrated instead and return to my old friend CamBam.
