After hanging out here for quite a while and wishing I had a CNC router I am finally jumping in and giving it a shot.
I am going to build a router based on the ideas at
www.buildyourcnc.com with a few mods.
I just got my bearings and have dowell nuts, HDPE, ACME 1/2-10 lead screws coming this week. I also have 4 2x4 sheets of 3/4" MDF sitting in the garage.
I am planning on getting a 3 axis package from Keling with:
3 pcs KL-4030, driver with heat sink
3 PC KL23H286-20-8B, 425 oz-in dual shaft steppers
1 PC 24V/8.3A Switching Power supply
1 PC C10 Breakout Board Specification
1 PC 24V Fan
1 PC 5V power supply
I plan on ordering this package next Friday unless someone convinces me otherwise.
I have been looking at what router to get and I think I want to go with the Hitachi router.
I am not sure what software I am going to run yet. I would love to run Mach 3 but can't afford to buy it right now with everything else.
Look forward to any comments or suggestions anyone may have.
