Cartesian Build - Part II (I think)

[WoodKnot]

So, just for clarity - some pictures of the workstation I have made for the CNC machine to sit on

Timber Frame with 22mm MR MDF

I have installed a Dell PC running Windows 10 Pro and a monitor and one of my BT Wireless disks from the house providing me with a great wireless network within my workshop.

For my controller unit I have opted for the Openbuilds BlackBox Controller. https://ooznest.co.uk/product/openbu...ox-controller/

I have purchased from Oozenest all of my wiring harnesses and limit switches, as well as the power unit seen in the drawer image on the previous post.

All of my gantry plates have been ordered from the US through an ebay store by the producer - Blue OX

The Linear rails have been purchased through Banggood and all of these are currently in transit - hopefully everything should be with me by the end of this month?

Thanks

I would be interest to know peoples thoughts on the waste board and holding down work pieces?

I use a system called Microjig on my tablesaw and you can create any size of board with this sort of pattern on it



It would be quite a lot of work to create this on such a big board though -

Kind of answering my own question here - it depends on the size of signs etc that I want to create?

Also, works great on birch ply, but so so sure on MR MDF - due its strength of the different board types.

Or maybe just holes at 80mm spacing and some cam clamps?
