    Hi - looking to build a mechmate here in Brisbane

    Hi guys - I have been lurking around the various CNC forums for years and have decided to start investigating the possibility of building a Mechmate in Brisbane. I know a few guys in Oz have built Mechmates and would be interested to talk to anyone who has completed one.

    One thing that I am little concerned about is availability of materials / parts and whether the Mechmate plans allow for metric materials etc. I am on the initial phase of this project and only really just getting past the stage of deciding on a model to build. There will be a lot of work ahead !

    If anyone can point me to CNCZone members who have built a Mechmate that would be appreciated - also keen to hear from anyone else in Brisbane who has a 2400x1200 CNC machine. Cheers guys.

    Why don't you head over to the Mechmate site and connect with the people there that have/are building them?

    Mechmate Build

    Hi,

    Happy for you to contact me. I built 2 Mechmates a couple of years ago now and still use and operate one of them if and when I get the time. Great machine and a pleasure to build.

    Cheers
    Tony.
