Just an update, biqut2 completed the job quickly and under budget. I would recommend this shop for anyone working on wood or metal cnc jobs.

This RFQ is closed. I have accepted an offer by biqut2.

Actually I just figured out how to get .step adn .iges files through freecad, so all I need is the actual manufacture of these parts. I can provide the digital files myself. I can split them up...

I need two of these made from wood or plastic...

So i've been looking for the really solid cam anchors that you have to drill the extrusion to install but I cant find anything for 20 mm profiles...

Where can I find this and the drilling jigs...

This is perfect! Thanks a bunch.

Pretty much what the title says.

So I guess I should take some time to clarify. I understand that I came into this with unrealistic expectations of making a machine that does everything. I have decided to build a 4x8 machine as my...

Ok I am going to redesign a new cnc for 4x8 milling using a welded steel frame good bearings ect ect.

But until then I'd still like to assemble what I have here into a working cnc that can cut...

what are your specs for that machine?

What is a realistic goal for that footprint and material? I just need a toehold to get started here. I have no concept of what is and isn't realistic with these machines. I thought doing deeper...

So I want to build a cnc router capable of cutting wood and aluminum with full depth of cut on 1/2 inch aluminum with a 48" build area. I have been looking for guides that help in choosing the right...

I have all of those parts currently. It's okay though because I really needed some building supplies to tinker with. What would you say I still need to buy to make this a useable machine for wood and...

Even thinner softer aluminum? Ok, maybe I cant cut half in thick aircraft aluminum (that was kinda a joke anyway) but I cant manage 1/8 inch 2011 with this? Not even over a long jobtime? I've seen...

Honestly I kinda suspected all that. I was getting the sinking feeling that I had just dropped too much money on the wrong parts. Oh well. I'll find an alternative use. Thanks for taking the...

Not really. I am a software developer by trade. I'm not dumb, but I really don't know what I am doing here.

Also I have no welding experience so that is why I chose 8020.

So the todo list...

Do you think you could show me where my expectations are unrealistic? That response gives me nothing to work on.

I think I'm in way over my head here so I could use some help!

My idea is to build a cnc tool platform for various types of manufacturing and machining jobs.
I want to create a cnc router that...
