    DIY Kit Reccomendations for 4x8 CNC Router

    Hi all,

    I'm looking for a good, complete DIY 4'x8' CNC router kit. I don't mind supplying computer/router, etc.

    I'll be using the machine for cutting parts out of 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" bamboo sheets.

    I found the blackfoot (http://buildyourcnc.com/blackFoot48v40.aspx). Any others? Looking for a solid, stable design.

    Best,
    Jim

    Joe's Hybrid CNC is another one that can easily be turned into a 4x8 machine.

    I'd stay away from the Blackfoot stuff. For not a lot more, you can build a much better machine.

    Hi Jim,

    I've recently released the design files for my Kikori open source gantry router. While the plans are free, I am also offering kits as well.

    I second this one as well. I run this machine personally 6-8 hours a day 4-5 days a week. I am getting ready to build another one when my new shop is done.

    CNC Router parts for sure. My machine is a clone of those kits that I started building before CNCRP started selling kits.

    Personally one of the largest benefits to these style of machines is how modular they are. If you started with a 4x4 to save $$ and later decided to expand to a 4x8 or whatever you can fit in your shop, the investment is pretty minimal.

    Also the fact you can disassemble the machine and move it is a good bonus. Not to mention you don't need to glue or weld as with other machines. Aluminum extrusions are the bee's knees. =D
