I couldn't tell you why. Maybe I just like to do things the hard way, maybe I like the looks of things built with composites.

Maybe, we'll see, if I'm just another dreamer.

Tecnik 3437 Servo Motors Discontinued from a previous project. More on that in a future story.

Instrument-grade motor, 400 oz-in, 4000 count/rev encoder and step and direction drivers.

That pretty much sums up the main stuff.
Still need to get wires to make harnesses, a power supply for the axis motors, and wire chains.

The composite materials will be outlined in future post.

This is my second CNC project. The first was a knee mill conversion, with many mistakes, and some really cool results. I had intended to make something a lot more ambitious, but my better angels prevailed. The next post will be the Fusion 360 designs images. I hope you guys have fun following along and I am looking forward to your incites, observations, and advice.
