Hi - so some of you know me from the past on the forum.
I was chasing down various methods to build a 4 x 8 ft size cnc router at one point, then finally just accepted that there wasn't any way to make this fit into the space that I have.
The budget didn't work either.
Over time I ended up doing a trade of some work for a non functioning router with about a 3 x 4 ft table area.
Where it started when I got it:
- Mostly 1530 based frame with is fine but assembled in kind of an odd way.
- Mach 3 on an marginal laptop and communication issues
- cnc router parts trollies / carriages
- acme screw drive
Typical moving gantry design with the X screw drive down the middle of the table push / pull on a 1530 cross piece under the table.
Wow - had no idea I started this journey in 2007.
