Here is some pics and vids of the machine i've been building for the last year or so.
Basic run down,
Y-Axis dual 2005 ballscrew 8NM (1200oz) drives per side. 1360MM usable area
X-Axis SIngle 2005 Ballscrew 20nm (2800oz) drive (overkill i know but i had it left over. 1360mm movement
Z Axis 2505 ballscrew single 8NM direct drive. 205mm movement
Ethernet MOtion card by XHC (once you work out there bugs its pretty good actually)
Hanyung VFD communicating via rs485
A simple 12V automotive Advantech PC, also works surprisingly well
Optical homing switches
Z Y and A Z axis all using closed loop. X will be upgraded as funds permit.


The bed itself will be 1350X 1040Y with a vertical bolting able to use the remaining 320mm in.
Spindle for now is a 2.2kw Chinese job, till i can afford a ATC spindle

So far all has been built backwards i build the gantry first and built the machine around that.
100% tig welded and very square, buet thing about the tig is you can consentrate the heat were you need to pull it be square.
Awaiting my table top 20mm ALuminium plate over 1700 holes on the top to be drilled and tapped.
