help needed to make cnc machine maybe 2-3 and will pay

[martin54]

As Neil has said the first thing to do is to decide what you want the machine for & what sort of materials you would like to cut. From that the size, manufacturing materials & electronics can all be worked out. People will keep you straight on what to buy & what not to buy if you ask but obviously it does require some input from yourself.

I doubt having a plotter will be of any benefit to you with something like this unless you want to make it look pretty once it is built

The other thing about having a hand in the design & build of the machine is that when things go wrong at least you have some knowledge already which can help with sorting the problems out.

Hi Ricky,

So basically im thinking of having the stand fabricated, will make the box section bed, would need the stepper motors mounting and the couplers attaching to the ballscrew and may need some help with the gantry part and rails.

So how much would you charge me if we made this machine??

Thanx buddy
