So what you need is a surface planner not a CNC router.? Have you considered building a four sided planer on linear axis.?
This would be very easy to build and wouldn't need expensive spindles, tools, or controller and drives, ballscrews etc.
Because you know the linear movement you can just use programable drives that don't even need a PC. Use planner blocks and blades with normal motors for the cutting heads. For linear movement the simple chain drive could be used as you don't need precision just to move a set distance.
If you wanted to automate the process so each blade moves in sequence then a simple arduino could do this.
Just a thought.??Last edited by JAZZCNC; 20-08-2014 at 09:13 PM.
