New to DIY cnc, looking for guidance

Hello,

Did you look through the build logs ? http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/253-DI...ter-Build-Logs
I know it's not the easiest but you may find a design that suits you enough to make a start.
Most people start off with posting some drawings then forum members can make suggestions on how to improve it to the point where you can start the build.
If you break the mechanical parts down into components like this;

Frame
Bed/table
Gantry
Z axis

That makes it easier and each part can be discussed.
Also if you post a list of the parts you might like to use like;

spindle size/type e.g. 2.2kW water cooled
linear rails e.g. Hiwin
motors, stepper or servo
ball screws, rack and pinion
etc.

Someone will then suggest the sizes, etc. that should suit you.
