Hello to all the cnczone people,
I am keen to make a cnc router, partially to make things and partially to make a router! One of my requirements is to be able to work with Aluminium so I figure I am going to need a strong/stiff machine. As a result I am leaning towards making a welded steel frame and welded steel gantry to get the stiffness. Having never made a cnc router before I am not sure it will be stiff enough for Aluminium work and also if it will be possible to get the gantry straight and square enough after the welding?
Here are some screen dumps of the design....well there will be once I figure out how to do that.....seems images need to be hosted elsewhere...
Any comments and thoughts welcome.
Cheers
Brett
