    Vgroove and angle iron router

    Hello everyone,

    I am very new to this cnc stuff but the bug has bitten and i want one. Just hope the missus doesn't kill me when we are struggling to pay next months mortgage (chair).

    First of all can i take this opportunity to thank SPALM for his helpful feedback via PM. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15270

    I am looking to build my first router and am thinking of using vgroove wheels for all three axis. I am thinking of using angle iron runners for the x and y and guide rail for the z. The z axis will have 4 wheels (2 each side). For the x and y i am thinking of using 3 wheels as per attached sketch. Could any of you wise folk out there tell me if this 3 wheel setup will work effectively.

    Cheers,

    Steve
