Steel frame cnc router design/build

[JoeHarris]

I can recommend the Clarke Easi arc welders from machine mart... Mine has been great so far. Also just got an evolution rage 2 cut off saw for slicing up all the steel - again it's awesome but chucks little bits of swarf everywhere! Good luck with it - you're in good hands with Jazz he tells it how it is!!

I'm currently eyeing up a Ferm 160Amp job at the moment - looks like it should do the job nicely.

I got an Evolution Rage 3 last year...love it - it won't stop for anything!
Despite hooking it up to a decent dust/chip extractor it still chucks out crud everywhere :-p

You may be interested in my steel frame router Home Built GantryMill Improvements - YouTube the cutting area is 600mm x axis and 350mm y and 100mm z. It is built with materials I had to hand hence the mixture of steel and aluminum.

I would like to echo Robins comments about distortion caused by welding, it can be a nightmare so you will need to be very careful, also it is easier to weld thicker material but harder to remove the distortion.
