I am building my first CNC router table. This is all experimental for me so I am using low grade materials found in local hardware stores. (and yes I am brand new to the board)
I am at a point thinking how to connect my motors to the all-thread I am using for the screws. I am trying to figure out a cheap way to connect my 1/4" motor shaft to the 1/2" all thread. I do have the all-thread coupler I am staring at but I am not sure how to get the 1/4" motor shaft connected.
I also need to figure out how to create my bearing block. I am not a welder or I would weld a flange onto the coupler nut and use it... again, I am running out of ideas that I can buy at the hardware store.
Any ideas are appreciated.
It is times like this, 1 year into my part time project, that I want to break down and just buy a table... but I am going to stick with it.
