Best CNC router table for building guitars?
Looking for prices and sizes that can be of use building electrics. Only CNC machines I've ever dealt with were mostly Haas mills and lathes, and a few swiss machines. Know virtually nothing about router tables. Can anyone lend a helping hand and share some info?
Re: Best CNC router table for building guitars?
Hello there. I am at the point where I am going to buy the LXM 0609 router with mach 3 support and rotary axis. The ultimate goal for me is to build very nice guitars and necks. My question is: Is there anyone who ever tried to make the neck on the rotary so it can be made directly without the need of turning around the wood to machine the other side? And if anyone did build a neck using the rotary. Did it work properly?
What I notice in the youtube video's is that when using the rotary usually the X axis stands exactly in the middle right over the centerline of the rotary.. Usually the Y and Z move plus the A(rotary) are moving. When making the guitar neck using the rotary I would say that the rotary only needs to turn once 180 degrees to machine the back part. How is this done? Why does the X axis usually will not be used when using the rotary? If anyone has the system working to build a neck using rotary please post a vid ;-)

xzero cnc have a router that seems to be ideal, for guitar machining, get the linear rail model, if you have any interest, not the round rail machine

Carl Bruce makes an amazing CNC router. I had mine custom made for guitars at X36" x Y25" x Z7.5"
I tried everything and this one was the best in terms of performance. The price can't be beat for what it does. None of the chatter that some of the other hobby grade machines have. Rock solid and perfect for serious guitar work.
Here is a thread I started a while back:
