Ray,
Taking into consideration all of your responses to all of the threads you have posted, my conclusion is this;
You want to make guitars so just buy a cnc machine that is already built, be it new or second hand,.
It's going to be easier, faster, maybe even cheaper,I know this because of my own cnc journey,
Thanks to this forum I came to understand the fundamentals of cnc machine design and then thanks to my existing electrical and mechanical knowledge the build was quite easy.
It did take me a while though so think how many guitars you could be making rather than fighting with putting a cnc machine together.
Off the top of my head here's a list of items that have to be considered, then you also need the tools and equipment in order to fashion them.
aluminium for frame
fasteners
Linear bearings
linear rails
ball screws
ball nuts
ball screw support bearings
timing belts
timing pulleys
stepper motors
drivers for stepper motors
spindle motor
control board(s)
relays/contactors
panel wiring
flexible cable for steppers, spindle, switches
energy chain
wiring terminals
enclosure for electrical equipment
trunking for wiring
din rail
VFD for spindle(possibly optional)
Power supplies
switches, buttons, indicator lights
limit switches
homing switches
fuse holdersLast edited by EddyCurrent; 30-01-2026 at 11:29 AM.
