8x4 Wall Mounted; Upright ply cutter

[JAZZCNC]

Nobody has pointed out any faults?? I was expecting a wooping.... this is only techically mk1... mk2 Il learn from the mistakes on this one.

Where would you like me to begin!. . . . . . Only Joking mate for it's intended purpose of chomping ply it will be fine.!

As your about to findout going vertical is great but there's a few areas that need protecting and designing around.

Z axis one area as the crap will settle on the top edge and build up so make a cover or angled guard.
Also in your case using rotating nuts at top then crap will also fall into the bearing housing so cover that ASAP.

With lower bearings then you (know whats coming here) throw the crap away and get the real thing.! (thou that will test how accurate the frame is.!!)
For catching and moving crap Make an angled slide that extends from bed to just below gantry then crap falls over the rails not onto them. Put a wiper on edge and it will wipe the gantry plates.

I would have have put a slight angle on the machine rather than being 90deg as it helps with holding work and stops large sheets or pieces faling forward.

Keep up the good work but slow down a little rushing abart will kill ya.!!. . .

Just like the last build, a very useful source of information and techniques. Probably learnt more from your last two builds than 90% of the other builds on here.

i bet you spend half your time beating off people wanting builds done especially in those sorts of timescales.

thanks for the time that you have taken to provide REAL information and show what is possible if you do not get bogged down with techno crap.

KC, nice job looks good looks like New Holland combine yellow to me, just don't paint the gantry green

finished. installed into my buddys work yesterday.

[GEOFFREY]

Brilliant, and such a quick build. Great stuff. G.

[Clive S]

Just goes to show what can be achieved in a small amount of time. I see you didn't go with the lime green gantry.
Well done. ..Clive

Brilliant build, you've built 3 fantastic CNC machines in the time I've been fanning around with mine ;)

[EddyCurrent]

Yes it's a great job, soon you'll be going into production.

[JoeHarris]

Well done, as expected, ridiculously quick! Just one question - doesn't all the crap fall into your X axis bearing, mounting it that way around? Some kind of guard might be a plan?!

[Boyan Silyavski]

Great job! I have a lot to learn from you about the "fast".

What size of steel profile was used? Whats the total weight of the machine? Did you thread the profile for the connections or the bolts are pass through?
