I've finished designing my 38'' by 18" budget CNC in CAD and I'm just about ready to buy the parts and start building it. But before I start, I want to make sure that there aren't any problems with my design.
The majority of the CNC router will be made out of 11/16" plywood (the support beams are scrap) that I have lying around. The leadscrews will be 5/16 allthread, and the whole thing will use the angle-aluminum-bearing technique for linear motion. Cross dowels will hold the whole thing together. A cheap Harbor Freight router ( 2 Horsepower Fixed Base Router ) will act as the spindle.
Am I ready to start building, or did I screw something up?
