That is awesome webmax. Very well built and the sound deadening works really well. Congrats.

Hi All,
After seeing the question raised recently and having seen it asked many times before, I've thrown together a small tutorial/guide for butt-joining linear rail without having access to a mill...

Hi all,
I've been using my CNC router and love it a lot, but I have a few linear carriages and rail sitting around gathering dust, so I thought about building a LIGHT duty engraver/router for wood...

Sound Test 2
I've added the outside polycarb window now.

First sound test complete. Using a laminate router at max rpm. You can hear how the sound level drops quite a bit once the third latch is hooked in and pulled tight.

Hello All,
I thought I'd share my progress with my sound dampening enclosure I've been building for my CNC router.
When I started building my CNC, I knew I'd have to have some sort of enclosure,...

Ooh sounds good. I do have a couple of flanged plumbers blocks i can make a headstock with. And I could skip the electronics and buy a lathe chuck and motor instead. Well done. Do you have a pic...

I already have everything I need for my 3'x2' CNC.

These parts are just for making something small and sturdy to learn with or play with etc. I like the latch on the door though :)

Come on...

So its a regular Friday night in September. You're chilling at home watching Judge Judy, when there is a knock on the door. You open it and Santa hands you this....

Hello boys and girls,
After a long long time of promising myself to build a machine, I'm finally going to do it. I hope to mill/cut plastic, wood, and hopefully some aluminium up to 6mm thick....

Thanks for the replies. Well, yesterday I kind of landed with my a** in the butter and scored a bunch of INA and THK 20mm carriages and some 20mm profile rail too. I think the THK stuff might be...

Hi All,
Just a question regarding rails, if I may.
I'm planning my new build, with Max cutting area of around 500mmx300mm. I need rigidity, not size as I want to mill/cut aluminium.
Is it really...

Thanks Viper. They are standard skate bearings 22mm x 8mm x 7mm ID on aluminum angle.

I know what you mean. The pipe I can get for about £20 or $30 so its not splashing out too much for them. ...

Hi All,
This is driving me crazy now. I have 5m of 3/4" aluminum angle already but I keep swaying towards using pipes as rails. I have all the bearings too.

My ideas are below. Do I mount the...

This is a lovely machine. Do you have the drawings available? How are your bearings running on the x axis? V-groove bearings?

Dear John (corny greeting, I know),
First of all, congratulations on all the succuss you have had here. I've read all the pages from this thread and I'm amazed at every page. Excellent designs,...

Hi All,
Pleased to meet you. Im Neal and pretty new to CNC stuff. I'm currently building a CNC router for home use. It will measure 1200mm x 600mm. The problem im having is choosing the electronics...
