I have been lurking here for a while and I finally think that I have learned enough to start the design process of my first CNC router(CNC anything really). I want to be able to make larger wood projects so I am thinking about a 4x8, and I would like to build it out of wood to begin with. I put together some preliminary plans in sketchup and wondered if anyone would care to critique. Right now the linear slides in the plans are of the aluminum angle and skate bearing variety but I am trying to figure out a better method as well as a way to make the bearing assemblies adjustable for level and preload without relying on the precision of the cuts. This is designed to be built with a table saw a router and a drillpress and a 4ft+ carpenters level as the only "beyond basic" tools needed.[IMG][/IMG] [IMG]
