Hi All,
This is my first post and I'm designing a new mini desktop CNC router that I thought I'd share with you guys.
My background is about 10 years as a CNC machinist and metal fabricator. I have used equipment such as a HAAS VF2 mill, Daewoo Lynx L200 lathe, Mazak Laser, Flow Waterjet, and Strippet Turret Punch. I have always been an electronics enthusiast and for the last 6 years I have been a 3D CAD designer. In my home shop I have a 40 watt laser engraver/cutter, 3D Printer, vinyl cutter, and other various tools.
My goal is to create a small, open source, desktop CNC router for everyone interested to enjoy. I am close to having a working prototype and wanted to share my design progress thus far.
The design will use an Arduino controller loaded with the GRBL firmware for motion control.
Here are a few picture of the progress I have made so far.
Thanks for viewing,
Scott
