Hello,
I have an idea for a CNC build and wanted to get some input to the feasibility of this idea. I have just recently completed my first small CNC router build and am now thinking about the next machine. I had thought a bigger machine with larger travels would be the logical step until I had a wild thought about a mid sized machine with unlimited material size cutting capabilities. Has anyone presented a similar idea before and is this a possible feat? The idea would not really appeal to everyone as a larger machine can do parts within its travels in a single toolpath, whereas what I am proposing would be a method by which the smaller machine would be able to reposition on the material and do any sized part. Naturally it will still be able to do anything within its travels in a single toolpath but it would also have the capability to do any sized part. If this sounds feasible or just plain crazy I would appreciate your feedback so I can decide if it is worth pursuing. If there is some favorable feedback I will need to work out all the details and the method for accurate positioning on the material, but I want to thank you all in advance for any feedback I might receive.
Regards,
