1st Build, Second machine

[m.marino]

Folks,

Looking at cost and speaking to a few of you folks. I would like your opinions of this solution to the current problem with kit router I have from Marchant dice until I can get the budget back on track to build the slightly larger and more useful unit. This is just Y and Z axi' pieces and the Z is not complete as the rails will be part of an outer "box" section that will come from the rails and screw in back with the stepper mounted directly on top with a plate at top and bottom of rails going to the front where another plate will vertically connect them to give the face for the spindle mount.

Here is what I have drawn and will hopefully have more tomorrow.


Thanks for all responses. I still plan to build the larger unit and will definitely be using a lot of the wonder ideas from Jonathan, Jazz, and others here.

For those who are interested Tomas is doing well and being a nice healthy baby boy.
