Greetings from OZ!
just finnished creating my own Router...its my own design out of my head made from ideas from all over the world..ive called it BLADERUNNER..took me 14 days to construct pretty much more than 12 hours a day and about $3000.00 australian to build...
i was intersted in building the "Mechmate" but was blown off by the owner as i wanted that design but on a smaller scale,he told me to go look on the net for designs as there where lots out there..no kidding mate ..LOTS OUT THERE..so instead of wasting time i just built it one part at a time and let the next part decide how i connect the nextt and so on...well im really chuffed and the tunning is going well and the specs really good...i hope to creat many Rc Planes and Heli parts with this machine

cheers

Haydn,

That looks pretty darn cool if you ask me.  I'm trying to figure out how that motor on top of the "Z" axis works though.  Is it the "Y" axis drive running on a toothed rail?

Yeah that guy with the Mechmate is a jerk.  He doesn't like anyone who isn't a purest.  I like your design much better.  I'd be interested in building one too.

Howdee Greg!

yes its a rack and pinion system and there are two steppers driving the x axis and ,well in fact ive used the rack on all the gantrys..ive heard that its not as acurate as ball/screw but im happy with what i have...im planning on retrifitting a mini mill amd lathe soon so will use that system there for greater accuracy

cheers for the compliments guys just need to make some stuff now and play with the toys it makes!

YEEHAAA!
