I've started a new project to build a CNC Resaw/Mini Sawmill. It will handle logs 23" long and 12" in diameter - this size suits my needs perfectly.
The project is still at the rough layout stage. Here's my strategy.
A 3/4" birch plywood table will be attached to the lower heavy duty slide and a guidepiece that will slide in the miter slot on the saw's table. This will produce the action to move the workpiece through the blade and retract for the next cut. I'm calling this the X Axis.
The Z Axis stage is mounted on top of the plywood table. This slide will control the thickness of the cut by moving the fence.
I will continue to post progress photos if there is interest by other members.
