    8020 CNC Build

    Hi, I have been reading and learning over the last year (On and Off) and I am finally beginning my build. This will actually be my second build, My first was from MDF and I was less than happy with the results.

    I have decided to build my machine from 8020 using cncrouterparts rack and pinion setup. I started getting the 8020 from ebay, and just recieved my 3x3 pieces with more arriving on tuesday. I just noticed that the 1.5x1.5 pieces were the light vesion and not heavy, Not sure what Im going to do about that, I will have to see what it is like when I get it in.

    I am including a picture of my planed setup, please let me know what you think. I am also planing on doing some 45's in the corners to stiffen it up.

    I am excited about this build and will share my experience as much as I can.
