Well I have been lurking for a while in the forums and have started to think seriously about building a CNC router. This will be a small machine aproximately 24"x24" x 5" travel. All aluminum 8020 extrusions. I am trying to get as rigid a machine as possible with the 8020 and aluminum. Being smaller in size this works in my favor.
Full Specifications are as follows:
Z Travel 4.9"
X Travel 22.25
Y Travel 25.5"

Hwin LG 20 Rails (2 per Axis)
Hwin LGH20 Cars (4 per Axis)
RM1610 Ball Screws each axis
2 Ball Screws and steppers Y Axis

8020 COnstruction
- 3030 Uprights and Main Base Sides
- 1530 Cross Bars
7075 Aluminum Mounts and slides
Gecko G540 Drive

I would like some feedback on my design to see if there is anything you guys would change. I do plan to cut aluminum, wood, plastic. May upgrade spindle down the road but for now going to throw my PC 690 on it.
