I've read on this forum time and time again that unsupported rod will deflect, so I did an experiment with the 20mm rods I bought.
I hung 12.25kg (27lb) off one of them in a simply supported setup...

Hey everyone,

I've put together a CAD model of my desktop router which I think is sturdy and now I’m hoping that the community can point out any design flaws I might have overlooked. :)

In...

Mine's over designed because the same thing could probably be achieved with less material and lighter components. The jury is still out on that though because I'm yet to post it up for a public...

In that case definitely go for the Arduino for learning electronics. I started with no prior electronics experience, and now I'm building all sorts of gadgets and automation devices, mostly for fun....

I'm not sure exactly how confident you are with micro controllers, but I'll assume you have an average understanding

I dabble with the Arduino is my spare time and I also considered using a Mega...

Thanks for that. With a spindle like, I'm guessing that your machine would be out of my league anyway :). For some reason I assumed it was cut with a router of some sort.

Nice finish dlange. Do you have any photos of your router? I'm looking to build one with similar cutting capabilities.

Thanks :)

Do you know of any good salvage yards or auctions in Melbourne? Thanks.

Thanks for all your inputs!



I agree, hours of planning, calculating and designing is well and good, but other peoples experienced input is just as important, and that's exactly why I'm here. I...

Obviously you could have used a combination of a few methods, but what I'm curious about is just how technical everyone got about it!

I'm in the design phase of my first router build, and I have...

UGS NX5, although I'm using NX7 right now.

If you have bottomless pockets, or work for a company which uses NX, it's a definite winner.
