There are a few things I need help with, but I thought I'd submit some basic details and a picture of my recently completed machine.
It's a 3 axis CNC for my hobby of 1:24 finescale Truck Modelling.
Working area - 455mm x 245mm x 30mm. 500w mains spindle with 1/4 collect.
Mechanics are completely designed by myself and it uses Vexta 266, 125oz steppers, individual drive boards, custom made PSU and control cabinet and machine enclosure.
The axis slides are actually, high quality drawer slides, while the leadscrews are plain and simple M10 threaded rod (allthread) .
I have been totally surprised by the accuracy and performance.
I am now in the process of setting it up to machine some work and need some help. I'll post these shortly !
