I went away last night and looked at a whole bunch of products and you are both right, I need to spend a little time on getting this design right before I go start work.

Torsion Box - I have an...

This is a really interesting build! Look forward to seeing how it comes out, that beam is huge in terms of length!

Maybe something like this. This gives 220mm clearance under the gantry beam, that's 200 plus 18mm for an MDF spoil board. Not quite sure how I'm going to mount the Z which will probably hang down...

Here is a quick sketch up of what I have in my head, as before, the gantry sits far too high for what is going to be needed. What height do people normally build to? Is it 200mm or less? Can't see...

Here my thinking on the Gantry rail set up. Not sure which would be easiest to get sorted with the mounting on the rails and which would be the strongest. I guess the left one would be the strongest?...

Afternoon, been a few months!! Apologies, work went mad, couple that with the summer holidays, kids in the workshop etc and time has been at a minimum. The increase in work has meant that I need to...

Peteeng - Thanks again for your comments and thank you for the link to the document, that was very interesting. Out of interest, which would you use for the gantry beam, laminated aluminum, and...

First off, apologies and thank you for the replies. Work is either non existent or manic and this week has been a manic. Its Friday, nearly 1800 and I think Ill be here for another few hours yet but...

I currently run an 8 x 4 MDF machine. Its a machine built off of a kit from a company called SheetCNC which uses machined 25mm MDF for the frame, angle iron for the rails and chain for the drive. Not...

Hi, apologies as I've been unable to get internet access for a few days.

Yeah, I understand what you are saying Peter. I know its polishing a turd to a certain extent I had hoped that I could get...

Just done a quick check on another browser and they seem to have worked so fingers crossed you guys can see them. Apologies for it taking a few days, we have been snowed under at work.

I was...

Any better?

A few more pics to give you guys some more of an idea of the setup.

Im thinking of bolting the C Steel section to the Ply bed every 12-18" or so with M6 bolts. Would it be worth adding a piece of steel flat bar underneath for the bolts to spread the load on the 1"...

This gives you a slightly better view of the machine set up minus the can of beer!

Excuse the pic with the beer. It sort of shows the set up lol.

First off, I have built this 8 x 4 CNC Router, the mechanical side comes as a kit and I spec'd the...

Apologies for re raising an old thread but we are in the process of contacting a few companies and I would like to see how you are getting on?

The companies we are looking at are...

I have also had another quote come through from WKLaser, has anyone had any dealings with them? Thanks

Hi All,

So we are based in the UK and are in the market for a Laser cutter.

We are toying with the idea of bypassing the UK suppliers and heading directly to the suppliers in China to get one...
