Hi, thanks for your comments. I think this size machine is not as commercial as bigger machines. But it's the machine I wanted to build by my hand for long time. I had some experience on bigger machines and I'm working on them now too. In this thread I want a table CNC can be put on desk and can do some small hard precision works that small routers can't do. The size is just a little bigger than SIEG X2. So maybe you want to build a higher end table CNC, it's fitful plan. Or I think maybe some place like labs, small metal workshop like jewelry etc will need such small but precision cnc machines.
Sure, I can share the weight. Refering to PTC colculating, the weight are:
head:12KG / 26.5lbs
column:15KG / 33lbs
base: 18KG / 40lbs
I can't cast the parts by myself. It will need many other resources. I will send the molds to a casting factory for casting parts after I finish them. I think I may take some photos there to share with you guys.
