Threaded View

Well, i've spent a lot of time deliberating and pestering certain folk, so now it's time to get started.
I've decided on the following:
Main framework will be 8020 type extrusion
Belt drive for X & Y axes, and a ballscrew drive for the Z axis.
Nema 23 steppers, PM 752 drivers and an optoport BOB.
Home brew power supply
Canibalised hand router for spindle.
The assembly steps will be dependant on what materials I have managed to procure, and will take a wee while to complete.
I welcome comments and criticisms (constructive only), it's my first but I doubt my last build, there would appear to be a little niche market here in N.I. either that or nobody local wants to be friends :cry:
Be patient, it's a saga not a short story .....
