Hi
Im starting to plan building my own CNC router.
I have access to about 250 meter ALU profiles in different shapes, dimensions etc.
Im thinking in building the frame in 100x30mm (3mm thick) and 50x50mm (3mm thick)
I will have to make some sort of couplers/assembels, that I can router out with a Copy router for alu (old but good machine)
Im thinking in making it something like this, and make threaded holes.
I will use largeheaded umbraco-bolts.
It will look something like this:
The machine should be used to wood and plastic, but ALU would also be nice.
The dimensions on the cutting area, should be around 800x1200mm
Will the ALU profiles I have be "strong" enough for this?
