Just getting going on my second CNC router machine. First one I built completely out of scrap lumber I had leftover from some side jobs. It left much to be desired, but it cut what I asked it to, seemed to be pretty accurate, and gave me a good sense of if I wanted to keep into the CNC hobby.
So here is a rough design of what I am looking to build, it will have a cutting area of approximately 25" x 25".
The size is pretty much dictated by the 4 x IKO LWL 15 linear guides that my brother sent me. The rails measure 31" so I decided to make my design around them without having to cut the rails.
So as it stands the only thing I have accomplished yet is buying the 8020 extrusion pieces. That was a good chunk of change so I have to replenish my fun ticket supply before I start on ordering more parts.
So any suggestions / ideas are welcome. I am in search of a good idea on a 1 piece t-nut solution to attach the rails to the 8020 on the 1030 side rails and the 1545 gantry piece.
