I've been reading this great forum and resource for just over a year and now it's time to raise my head above the parapet and commit myself to a build.
I have a joinery/wood machinery background (old school city and guilds) but have never built a cnc machine from scratch.
So, looking to build a 8 x 4 cnc router mainly for routing wood/mdf. My plans have gone through many changes, fully supported rails, 8020, etc etc
At the moment I'm leaning towards:
1. Mild Steel C Channel
2. Angle Iron
3. V-Groove bearings
4. Unistrut
5. Wooden base with mdf all round and storage underneath
6. Rack and Pinion
Hopefully, some of my sketches for the above will show in this first post.
I would very much appreciate some feedback from the very knowledgeable and helpful people here as to whether I'm on the right or wrong path.
Thanks,
Bob
