I like it. I have thought about wooden cnc router construction, and may try in the future with leftover motion parts.. only downside is wood instability? are you going to dual drive the gantry? one screw down the middle and that gantry box will probably break itself apart if machining down the side. know what I mean? any way to move table legs to ends to use all of your bearing rail?

Hanging those supported rails upside down like that is not the best idea, they are weakest in that direction with only 1 out of 5 rows of bearings in contact with the rail.

It looks nice though, solid looking table!

I think in this case it's fine since the gantry doesn't look that heavy. The DataCut design uses the same principle, and that gantry must weigh at least 150lbs...Plus it wil be strongest in direction of force when plunging and cutting...

Ya your probably right, I just know that on my old machine there is a nice deep groove worn in by the linear bearing on the hardened rod from a single row of bearings being the only contact from bearing to rail. I was quite surprised to see this. Surely having only one row of contact will at least reduce the lifespan of the bearing or rail, but it will probably be good enough for a while.

This will Engraving machine.
x and y drives through the belts HTD 5M , on both sides x.
The gate is very light.
spindle will be a Kress 1050W, stepper motors 1,89Nm 2,8A

Great idea, I think that I will find some spare table at home .
Can you tell where you bought this belt? and what kind of belt it is?

Lucas

[Bartuss1]

this belts are a HTD5M15
I bought the store "akcesoria cnc"

bull attack

I wrote e-book about this machine.
In addition are photographs, drawings, dimensions and descriptions.
currently is in Polish, but I do English translation.
someone wants the original, you can buy here
Ebook Pomys

[Bartuss1]

Ebook in englisch about wood machine and more
I received a review of the Technical University of Opole
"is a very well written book for amateurs who want to build a machine -
Dr ing. G.Nowosielski"
I tried to make the English version was understandable for the average amateur

here you buy

cost about $20

Hi

Just looking at this and have an idea.

If you put the two drive belts on the inside of the linear rails it will look much neater without being much less strong.

inside the legs of the table
but of course you can
This machine worked 90 hours already and nothing more it'll change

[Bartuss1]

And I thought that someone wants to buy an ebook from me hehe
In any case, I have to complete the activities in Poland, because here even the charges I can not earn.
probably in October I will have a job in Vienna
In Poland you can earn some extra money just hump
