Hey guys. I'm half way through my diy cnc build and i've worked out that my woodworking skills aren't quite up to par :-(. I've tried to make my gantry but i can't seem to get it straight and true. Working area is around 1200x700x200 so its not a huge machine but i'm hoping it'll work well until i can gather up some funds to make a much bigger one. I was wondering if anybody, preferably brisbane southside, would be willing to help me out by cutting some parts to make my gantry or even just to pop in and give me a hand to try to make it work? I would be very greatful if anyone could spare a little of their time to help out.

Cheers.

3 axis router. mainly going to be using it for wood atm but would like to mill ali too. i bought the rails and ballscrews a while back and half finished it but the table wasn't flat and i'd warped the fixed gantry when i was welding it so i put it in the back of the shed for a bit and now we decided we're gonna finish it asap. i'm using a g540 driver and 3 nema23 steppers i got from keling. this time around we've made the table out of timber and it looks like i've done a half decent job this time cause its actually flat lol. still stuck on what to use for a spindle though. was going to use the ozito dremel clone i bought but it appears i've worn out the 3.2mm collet adapter after only 1 day of light use so its never going to survive on the cnc. was thinking of getting a maktec vinyl trimmer. they don't look too bad and it won't break the bank.
