So I have my cnc wired up to test out of the controller which is the Xpro V5. I cant get any motion from any axis' when i try to jog it in CNCjs or Openbuild Control. Im brand new to this cnc world...

Okay thats good to hear, maybe ill stick with my original selection. Thanks Peter

Yes all my ballscrews are 1605. The Z axis weight would be no more than 15 pounds between the wood, bosch router, and hardware. The total weight of the gantry is heavy, probably 30-50 pounds after...

Okay thank you for the clarification, good to know for the future.

So back to stepper motors, the ones you linked to me seem like a great choice. But my question is, the y and x axis will need a...

Can you supply those links again, the link doesnt seem to be working. Can you or anyone show me an example of a build that is similar to mine but with the proper boxed and rib support? Im using a...

Im using the Bosch 1617 router

Peter, are you referring to me as Dean? My name is Chris, but no worries. Yeah guys, I'm far from done, i understand its not a perfect design but like Peter said its not my last machine and I'm not...

I guess well see...

Thank you Peter!

So heres the update, I built my frame and im very happy how it came out. Just waiting on another ballscrew and its on to the rest..

Just got my linear rails and ball screws delivered. I was surprised about the weight of these 5 foot rails! Very sturdy, but this is going to be a heavy cnc machine.

I don’t have an actual speed in mind, when I say fast I just want each work piece to be done the fastest it can be that is safe for the machine and to the piece I’m working on. The ball screw is 10mm...

[QUOTE=peteeng;2483578][Thanks Pippin yes you need a driver for each motor or a single box solution. Peter

Thats why i liked the xpro v5, its all in one

Yeah the budget has doubled. I ordered square rails on black friday. The other members have advised me the XPro V5 isnt good for the speed in which I want the cnc to operate at. Im considering...

Do you guys recommend a controller for those type of motors?

So I came across someone locally selling 1/2in thick x 7in wide flat bar aluminum and its around 20 feet of it. So I think because of the price I can get it for and its cheap, I will make most my...

Yeah I agree, space is no issue, the bench is 5x6.
These are the linear rails and ball screws I was thinking of getting....

I was thinking 500 dollars, but as I research the electronic components of higher quality I think i need to spend more.

Hello Everyone! New member here!

So where do I begin...I've been a hobbyist wood worker my whole life and I want to build a cnc router machine to enhance my projects.
I've have been researching...
