Hi!
I have some t-slot extrusions that I wonder if I could start a CNC-router build with.
A couple meters of 88x88mm and 44x88mm, 2mm thick (thin).
Also have some alu. u-channel 80x40x5mm.
Want a router mainly for wood, but also occasional aluminium work.
2,2kw china spindle.
Planning to make a good gantry beam at first. Then decide if I go for moving bed och moving gantry style. Maybe try out different configurations.
1m long beam wich will give me at least 600mm work distance in Y.
What do you think? Something to move on with or scrap it and rethink from the beginning?
I have played some in fusion 360, but i´m not able to do a FEA. Running out of memory and all things of problems, i´m just to bad at it.
One idea as in the picture. Three 88x88 bonded (epoxy?) and bolted togheter in L-config with an additional U-channel and solid aluminium where rails mount.
Rigid enough or what do you think? Other (better) ways to uttilize the profiles Ive got?
Thanks
