Hi all i have been looking through alot of the posts and I think i am going to actually build me a cnc machine. I have been eyeing the david steel design i think that is the one or the one on solsylva website. the mid range cnc machine. I believe it is the blue one on his website. I currently do alot of woodwork with my scrollsaw and I plan on continuing with my scroll saw but I was thinking having a cnc machine to cut some of my plaque blanks and other things that would be awsome. I also thought it would be cool to add some carving to my scroll sawn projects. I have read about building my own from on here.
my deal is i don't know where to start. I am really limited on funds since i am back in school so thins project might be a little at a time type project. I'm still learning about the different types of stepper motors and I really am out there when it comes to the electronics part of the machine.
any suggestions on where to start. How to make this machine on a limited budget and so on.
This is a great fourm and from what i see alot of ya'll help one another out when needed.
Any help for a flat out newbie would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jesse
