I have done a few little tweeks to the design.
(Rev 1.3)
It is no longer quite so top heavy.
I would be nice to build a cnc unit out of steel or alu strate from the word go, but this is not possible for me, this is why I am going down the MDF route.
I am still very new to the world of CNC, so I have alot of learning to do.
I have been out of a job for allmost two years now, so very little money can be spent on projects.
I don't have a workshop full of tools, like lathes ect.
The only sort of tools I own at this point in time, are power drills, piller drill, small belt sander, jigsaw, and hand saws.
I know making the cnc unit out of MDF is not going to be that strong.
I am not looking at a super fast unit or anything like this, I just want to get on the 1st step of the ladder, and go from there.
So unless someone is going to offer to make my design out of steel or alu for next to nothing, I think I will stick with MDF for now."If first you don't succeed, redefine success"
