It's ok I didn't take it that way. You're just sharing your experience which is appreciated.
I just didn't want you to think I was hoping to have a machine that can make space shuttle parts lol

Yeah I doubt steel will be easy but I don't really think I will ever be milling steel. Aluminium is probably my limit.
If I want to mill steel I will get a CNC mill instead.
But for wood,...
Ok guys so here is what I've found in my searches for a machine.

<br>Thanks for all your help along the way. I really appreciate it.

I bet it's very useful for production of parts and things and would save a lot of money on trial and error etc.
Maybe one day I'll need to pay for the subscription but for now I'll stay with the...
I just modelled the heavy C beam extrusion in Fusion 360 but didn't realise the FEA part is in the paid subscription part of the program

Hi guys,
I thought I'd just share what machines I've been looking at so far at this point of the journey.
The WorkBee V3 - "The WorkBee V3 has linear rail in the Z axis which increases...
I guess it will add a little bit of rigidity but not in all the axis like I was expecting.
I got an email back from Maker Store and they suggested the WorkBee V3 as being better than the Lead as...
I'll shoot them an email to find this out
Yeah I see what you mean with the upright supports. They definitely seem like they could do with some extra bracing or something along the Y axis.
Surely you could modify that though to add more...
I don't mind the idea of an open fore and aft design for my machine. I just need to make sure that I can index well with it and the gantry is able to fit a 1000mm wide piece under it.
One of the...
G'day Pippin,
Realistically I need a 1000x1500 work surface but the extrusion I've found is only 1500mm or 3000mm to allow for that work area.
Over a quarter sheet I guess you'd recommend steel...
Sorry for the last response guys. Had a hectic day yesterday.
Wow 1mm is a bit much. I guess I need to figure out where to find some data for those Heavy C beams then so do some calculations....
Thanks for the info and experience Joe
I don't see myself ever doing Steel thankfully so that should keep the cost of rigidity down a bit.
I think I will only do a few aluminium things too and...
G'day everyone!
I'm a bit of a tinkerer and love all the CNC projects I see and really want to get a CNC router to start getting into it.
I want to do 3D topographical maps mostly but who knows...
