Hi All,
Some pictures of my latest small desktop sized machine...
Painted & almost finished...
It has a small cutting area of about 9 x 8 with 3" Z travel.
All set up & ready for a first cut with a driver kit from Probotix....
Bosch trim router with tool holder from http://www.mcpii.com/Nicknacks.html
Cutting bits for fine work from http://www.cnctoybox.org/store/page27.html
Small vise bolted to the expendable replaceable MDF table...
My wifes design as a first test cut....
Perfect cut...
Like I mentioned, this is a pretty small design that I plan to use
for small molds & die-sets for jewelry designs mostly. It'd work
great for pcb work as well.
It's carefully built to have no backlash or "play" in it. It's such a solid,
little simple design that I'm even considering making more of them
to sell. It should be a fairly cheap machine to reproduce....
