NordicCNC's build log

Regards the weight then I think you must have got something wrong because a machine this size will easily weigh more than 200kg, even 300Kg by time it's all finished.

Whats the maximum weight you'd expect though? I think a 1,500 Kg minimum as suggested in post #2 is a little overkill.

Think JarJar is talking about a different strength machine, esp when he's comparing to a Datron which is a big lump of epoxy Granite. Thou that's like comparing apples with pears when a Datron cost's like £100K.

I'd expect a machine this size to be around 400Kg when finished using the materials and components suggested. It's amazing just how much weight fasteners etc add.
