    This is funny to me as I was watching a vid on a 5 axis cnc and the wow factor to me was not the cutting ability, but the how rigid must the column holding the spindle .

    There is a known difference between routers built with plywood and serious milling machines. :violin:
    Not only rigidity, but also weight!

    Cheers

    Most 5th axis are on the table for this very reason. People often think the most important thing in a rotary is backlash, but the ability to hold the material without movement or vibration is more crucial.

    @ericks - it's all good.

    I was looking at building my own CNC and stumbled across their online store for profile rails and ball screws.


    They're based on the Gold Coast.


    I noticed they had some CNC kits available for home hobbyist use but I'm not sure if they will work well for nicely milling Aluminium. They do advise it will but at a very low feed rate.


    One of their sales reps told me I might be better off holding out for their new Nighthawk CNC range.


    apparently they use a rotating nut design rather than a rack and pinion for their full sized machines.


    It looks like a beefed up version of what I was going to build haha.


    What do you guys think of a spinning nut design rather than screw?


    Here's their blog post

    Hey isn't this the same David Nestor that registered Slixxor for an ABN in 2011 and CNC3D IN 2018? Mate change your user name if you are going to trying to back link/ promote your own business. Why do you think everyone is an idiot?
