I'm looking into buying this guy: zenbot 4848 cnc router
Have:
Ample dust collection
plenty of juice
a table to put it on
a pc with windows xp and plenty of space for the program to operate
a cad program to create the drawings
hold down material/clamping material
router bits
Need:
zenbot 4848
control box
Mach 3
cam software (I think I’m going with Aspire. Not sure yet. Needs to cut 3d reliefs.)
Spindle (I think I’m going with the Dewalt 611)
dust collection accessories
will probably need various sizes of collets
So there it is. I see the Dewalt 611 runs at 16,000-27,000rpm. Do I need to buy any hardware to slow it down for cutting plastics, etc?
My friend suggested I need this:
"You will need something to generate the step and direction pulse. I use a smoothstepper from Home" True?
Thanks for your feedback!
Cheers,
Lee
