Hi everyone,
I am planning to build a CNC router, MDF build, at the size of 4' by 2'. The router is aimed to cut wood for the most part, but would be nice if it was able to do some light aluminum. I'm still designing, so I was wondering what would be a good thickness of the MDF to use as building material? I have some 1/2" MDF left from my previous project and I thought I could use this for some parts of the router (e.g. z-axis/spindle carriage). But what should be the gantry side thickness? If I laminate 2 layers of 1/2" MDF for 1" thickness, would that be a safe bet?
Thanks!
