Looks great, Joe! Wonderful job! This will get alot of new folks excited about building. I can see alot of new threads coming about the new Joe 2006 cnc design....Again, great work, Joe!!

Hi all... first post here, but im hoping many more... Ive downloaded joe's R2 zip file... And decided to build it... but since i dont have a cnc machine or someone close to me that does, can u point me in the right direction... which files in that zip should i use to see the cutting dimensions? and with what program should i open them? Because i will have to cut all those parts by hand for the first time, i could really use the dimensions of all the parts, cuts, holes, etc...

Ive installed solidworks viewer sofar, but no luck... or i dont know how...

thanks all for your replies...

If you will go to page 142 on the following linked thread you will see the start of a discussion regarding your question. There is a ton of information in that thread and yes, it is over 140 pages long but a few evenings reading thru the thread will gain you a lot of background information.

Thanks Guys, I hope it will help people out to achieve a good DIY CNC Machine...

But i have a few questions before i do. I hope this is the place to ask!! what is the difference in Joes model 2006 and the joes model 4X4 is it the size of the machine? also trying to find a good link to elaing the differnce between Rack and Pinion and leadscrew. I want to cut oak, maple about 3/4-1 inch stock i want to have the larger bed to have a table to cut many parts in one layout table. Any info would be great thanks

Dear Joe,

Many many thanks for all the fantastic information you have posted. I've been following your work in complete awe.

I'm so sorry to trouble you, but can you possibly let me know how to view your drawings? I downloaded the zip file and then extracted the files but I don't know what to do now. Do I need a Solidworks viewer? Any help would be enormously appreciated.

Best wishes

Martin

Joe,

I have just been reading this complete thread and I must say that I admire the quality of work that you are doing.
I would like to know if you are still thinking about offering a kit of precut parts for the poor souls like me that do not currently own a cnc machine.
If you had any idea of cost, it would be very nice to have as well.

I am looking at building my own cnc machine and I have been looking at plenty of plans of the internet lately.
Clearly, your project is way above anything else I have encountered so far.

Thank you for your wonderful work and experience sharing.

Cordially,
Arno

Joe,
Is there a URL for E-drawing that will run under Linux?
Thanks for your time.

Hmmmm....based on that disclaimer....I don't want to taint my brain with elements of your design which I suspect is well done.

LOL... you can use them for your own personal use... I just did not want people to get them and then start making all the parts for people when i put in alot of hours to help bring a sturdy CNC Machine to people, the basic concept is derived from here at the zone. and anyone with a machine already can cut one for them selves, I will just offer a kit for people who do not have the means to cut it.
