Hi all..
Well. finally got fed up of mdf, angle iron and skate bearings..! But did manage to make a bit of money with it, problem is, I am now being asked to do some serious (for me) 3d stuff and my home-brew heath robinson setup will just not cut it (literally).. Just not accurate enough plus I want a fourth rotary axis to engrave pool cues..
Starting to get dizzy looking at the enormous amount of designs out there so thought I would ask you guys what you would recommend.. Needs to have a 6' x 4' bed which I would like to be T-track ally, which could be removable to have an open bed..
Also would like to mount a chuck at one end of the x-axis and a sliding tail stock at the other so I can do columns and pool cues...
Will make the base welded steel and was thinking of ally for the gantry and open bed cross members..
My current 5' x 3' cnc can machine ally (carefully!) so I could make parts for the new one as needed..
Anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks..
Steve..
