Looking to build Ali frame benchtop cnc

[HiltonSteve]

Well if its a solid aluminium machine your after then check out my build log - [ame="http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1058"]My Build - I blame you lot for this....! - MYCNCUK[/ame]


This is the first machine I have built and it worked out pretty well. It can cut wood, aluminium, brass etc no problem at all. Keeps very good accuracy and not had a single problem with it since the day I finished it.

I used THK 20mm rails and 80 x 40 extruded aluminium for the base, the rest of the plates were either 15mm or 20mm aluminium tooling plate. Very easy and quick to put together but I did spend a fair amount of time doing the design.

It does sound as if you will need something similar to my machine so if you need drawings etc to get you going in the right direction then let me know.

Hi Robbie. Nice work, you must have a lot of spare time...:clap:

I started looking at cnc about 2 years ago to build a machine for making guitars, still not built it (not enough time).

Not sure i can help as your miles ahead of me but I will definetly be watching your build so lots of pics please.

Good luck
Ross
