800X800 Build - Little to no knowledge of what I am doing…

[Tick]

Thank you for such a well thought out response JAZZCNC, all your points make a lot of sense and I really appreciate the help! The controller side of things is where I was getting really lost, there are so many options… You say that you can supply components do you have a website that I can look at?

As a first machine I think the structure you have built looks fine, and will get you used to what CNC is all about. You will probably tinker with it and stiffen the gantry but the main thing is you will be learning and listening to the machine.

Thanks, I am already looking at the gantry thinking it could do with some gussets in places and triangulation to improve rigidity. I imagine this will be a never ending cycle of building and improving…

At the moment we don't have a Website, we are working on one at the moment but it's not ready to go live just yet.
If you contact me at the address below I can send you any info you require and answer any questions you may have. I will also provide you with my phone number so can give me a ring if prefer or need advice or questions answering on products or anything CNC-related really.

I'm sure others will agree but don't go too far with adding bits, sometimes it's easier to just use the machine find its weak spots learn from it what you would like in a machine then build Mk2. It Will save you money long run as you are not plowing money into a machine that you will only end up hitting a brick wall with how good you can make it sooner or later and you'll get a better machine more quickly. Hence why some like Routercnc are on Mk4, it's the best way.
