Thread: Advise on building a CNC table
Threaded View
-
29-03-2014 #14TOrnado69--changing it over to a router would be fairly easy.
take the torch mount off the gantry and fit the router mount on.
sking any slats that have dross on the top with a soft disc.
fix ply bed onto 4 or 6 tabs that are welded to the water table slats.
i understand that they proberly dont belong together.
but if it turns out they both dont work well together.
then i can leave it as just a plasma table and always look at making a router one.I think you really need to read JAZCNC's post again and digest what has been said.
You will get all the help you will need on this forum as I and countless others have done.
Start by asking specific questions ie what do you want to use the machine for: wood, plastic, alu, perhaps engraving etc. then start a build log and read a lot of the logs on here. Submit a drawing of some sort to get advice on and be prepared to get a bit of flack (most of it is given in good faith and humour on here) don't give up there are some good guys on here willing to help, but they need something tangible to work with.
Sketchup (SketchUp | 3D for Everyone) seems to be a good package to make a drawing in and it's free.
Don't buy any motors or electronics until you are happy with the frame. Giving some idea about your budget for the build will help. ..Clive
