Stonemason from Scotland living in England.
been forced to join the world of CNC got to compete with speed of production.
I`ve been lurking in the background for a couple of years of course reading various posts.
built a few push-along grinder jigs for cutting stone profiles.
but as they got rusty Scrapped or turned into something else.
Now decided to got the Full hog and build a CNC cutter for stone which will include Marble cutting .
accuracy needed 0.5mm .
Decided to build a machine 2400mm x 1000mm x 450mm in steel frame(good at welding so no worries there).
R&P drive on X and Y and ballscrew on Z. with room to expand a 4th axis.
sticking with hex steel rods with v rollers.
Also if all goes well build a CNC vertical lathe for cutting stone Columbs.
so decided to Join to get as much info as possible. especially on stabilizing the gantry and balancing the Cutter which I haven't decided what to use yet probably 2kw but if budget allows something with higher spec.
