Hey Guys,
new here and gathering materials and info to build a double spindle CNC for my shop. I plan on having the ability to put a 4th axis rotary on the bed.
Ive built alot of machines over the years (non CNC) so Im still on a learning curve with the technology. I hope to document the build of my machine on this forum. It will be fabricated on a steel cutting laser.
I have a few questions maybe some of you can help with.
1. can someone direct me to a data base of downloadable CNC building info...?
2. I want to integrate a 4th axis - do I need to go ahead a purchase a 4 axis motor set and 4 axis driver and power supply? The rotary usually already has a servo or stepper, so Id end up with a spare stepper if I bought a four motor kit...thats ok with me having a backup motor.
3. Theres plenty of three / four axis motor kits out there that include the power supply and driver boards....I am going to be carving wood. I need minimally 600+ oz in steppers. Can you recommend any reasonably priced, quality, kit suppliers that youve had good results with?
Thanks much

heres my design in progress...
