Although I drive up to 5 axis machines I cannot explain why I decided to build a small CNC , but anyway here is my first attempt.
It has now become a little bit of an addiction once it moves for the first time.
I have engraved a few silly bits and cut a few bits of MDF but nothing special other than knowing I amgoing down the right path.
The spindle needs a bit of attention as still setting up Mach3.
Attached is a couple of pics from design to reality.
Its all made from 12.mm Ally plate .
The table comes from a window frame manufacturer , just happens to have handy T-slots.
The spindle air cooled 24000 rpm.
All the electrics from
http://www.homanndesigns.com/ with a big thankyou from Peter Homan for all his support.
Also a mate of mine Greg for patiently sorting the electrical side and strangely getting a slight addiction to the job as I too have.
Any comments or observations would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks for reading.
