I like your "control center" and what you've got started for an enclosure. Cool!

Made a little headway on the design revision today. While I have little doubt about its rigidity, I am concerned with the weight and cost of this approach....

Okay, inspired by hemsworthlad's build, I have come up with a new base frame to handle heavier loads. Gantry is next. Please share your thoughts. Oh, rail is 20mm and the dimensions are still...

Thank you for the response, ger21. I see you offering a lot of helpful advice in others, I appreciate your attention to my thread. Your link to the other build thread has value to me, and I think I...

Project: Aluminum Eater (Scratch Build) - The early stages

Looking forward to hearing how that works out for you- both the spindle/VFD and the shipping experience. I'd like to get one myself.

I came across this and thought I'd link it back to you. This appears to be a wood router using the same v-roller-r&p with gantry weight bearing the force against the work along z. I would guess...

If I'm interpreting your drawing correctly, the only trianglated element in the plane of the gantry represented is borne by the pinion shaft. It looks like any downforce on the spindle (or it's...

I have most of the design work completed in SolidWorks. I didn't want to start a thread without something to show on the first post, or else it is not a build log :cool:. I'll get something up...

Wow, it looks like we're on the same sheet of music. I'm going with the same vendors for linear motion components and electronics, but I am still looking for the best deal on extrusions and Al...

henrikm,
I am a little bit ahead in my design, but we seem to be working on the same details. I am of the opinion that if you drive from the bottom plate with a single screw, you will get better...
