Well you guys let me know if I can help in any way.

Hey Viperia, converting the drawings shouldn't be to much trouble but if there is any info other than board thickness that we should know that would help.

I'm assuming 1/2" MDF would be 12mm thick...

Aw I got ya now. Sorry I don't have all that but as soon as I get done with what I am doing I will see if I can't take care of that for you. Unless offcourse some one else beats me to it.

Hello ClaudioG,

I can not get the file down small enough to post it to the forums, but if you like I can e-mail it to you. It was drawn in standard but I changed the dimensions to metric by...

The parts to the far left are the CNC Router Base piece's. The parts beside the router holder parts ( the HDPE Plastic parts ) is the Gantry Top and Bottom plates.

Note: You may want to email...

Wow.. sure seems to be a touchie subject. I'll not ask any more questions. Thanks for the help.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the depth of the routes will not change just the thickness of the panel right? If that is the case then all will need to do is change the thickness in the CNC when I...

Well after looking at the DWG a little more I see the depth's in there so never mind my question.

Thanks

I too am going to make the parts myself. As much as I would like to just buy a kit from Joe to show my appreciation for all he has done I just can't right now.
I would like to say thanks to Joe for...

Good to see that Blaine is here to help. :)

Looks like you need to do a few things. Try using a straight cut bit ( one that is sharp ) or a down shear bit. It also looks like you may be getting a little burning which could mean 2 things,...

Thanks for your help.

Although I could do the ply in between the MDF, I think that it may be more then I need on my first build. I will stick to the 4 pieces of 0.25 mdf and see how that goes. If...

4 x 1/4" pieces would not be a problem if you guys think it would be stronger. But should I machine each piece apart from each other or would it be better to machine them after I have glued them up...

Another question for Joe or who ever might know. The Gantry sides pieces are 2 pieces of 1/2" MDF glued together ? Can it be done as a 1 piece of 1" ?

Andrew

Thanks guys, I run a cnc router at work that can make them 1 piece so I think I'll go with that. This would be more fun if I had the machinery at home to do this, but but next time it will all be...

Question Joe!

I have been looking at your EDrawings of your machine and see that in the X Torsion Box you have the long braces split into 2 parts. Is there a reason for this? Is it due to the...

Hello Joe, GREAT looking machine. Is it possible to get the drawings in DXF format instead of DWG? I use Autocad 14 and the DWG files are made with what it says is a newer version.

I would love...
