thanks gerry, probably not the answer I want to hear but you are right, I might have hard time selling it even @ 10k. To replace it, it will be well over 20k though

The vacuum is a anlet 3 lobes,...

Hi, i have seen other used machines with smaller work area well over 20K. Since mine have no company behind who can do customer support, I have to consider this fact in my pricing. Thing is I don't...

Hi there,

few years ago, I've built myself a cnc router and now looking for financing for shop expansion and need to put a value for this machine.

Is any folks out there kind enough to give me...

sounds cool, let me know how the machine is going! which model do you have?

thanks paulette for your suggestion but i am really looking for a cnc laser to cut and engrave leather anf some wood.

Thanks

I understand that my initial budget is low for that kind of power. Which machine should work for that and how much should i spend to get a reliable turnkey package?

thanks Rodney,

I guess I have to redefine my needs for that machine. Cutting leather is the main idea of buying a laser, I should go for 100w t ocut leather 5mm thick and also review my budget...

well, here are revised needs:

-precisely cut hardwood max 10MM THICK ON A SINGLE PASS.
-precisely cut leather max 5mm thick
-Engrave leather / hardwood / metal
-work area = not less than 200mm...

Hi bpoulin,

Hi there,

Hi

1-rails are bolted only on one face of the tube, but first had to face, drill and tap on a bigger mill.

Rails has been mounted this way because was easier to face, drill and tap on a single setup. Just make sure both surfaces were on a same plane.

will post more pictures soon

Hi

I am now at the point to figure out all electrical parts that I will need to make this router functional.

Here is the link of what I found on MachMotion's website....

Spindle is ordered, i got a 5hp. Budget is almost cut in half only for the spindle!!

Thanks

Because of the price I am considering 25 mm x 5 mm THK rolled ball screw with nut BNT2505-2.6. Nut have 0.1mm of backlash (0.004''). Should I worry about this backlash or mach 3 can do compensation...

After welding, I will face, drill and tap the table on a large milling to insure parallelism of both rails for each axis.

Thanks

Hy guys

The router will finally looks like this, built with 3 x 3 x 1/4 tubing, welded structure. Table plateform will be 4X 2x2x 1/4 on the Y axis. roughly 500lbs of rigidity!

Instead of a...

Hi

Here is a first draft of the router that i am building. Table still need to be design. I am still waiting for the x-y ball screw quotes. Spindle and drive quotes are on the way too.

Hi everyone,

Last weekend I've decided to build my own router since I couldn't find one that fit within my budget and/or was not rigid enough.

I want to build something heavy duty that is...

You could use a right and left threaded worn screw but in your desing, backalsh is transfered to the bevel gears!!

Keep going on design, i am also interested in a rotary axe.

thanks

Yes.....for $200 I'll Buy a north america mill, i'll even go up $1000 for having it trouble free, allready tuned!

Smithy has linear slide for z axis versus dove tail for tromach!

For a machine that size, I don't think that is a big difference because weight is pretty much the same. Does anybody know what...

Hi,

After reading on both models, smithy seams to be a better machine. Does it worth the difference between a smithy cnc versus tormach?
Smithy 1240 pc version = $8700
Tormach = $6800

I am...

I didn't know that smithy had cnc mills. Does anybody have experience with smithy?

After comparing them the smithy 1240cnc to tormach, it seems to be a better quality than a Tormach 1100. I am...
