CNC update

Recommended Posts

After a 2 month build on a custom 4 ft X 4 ft CNC machine, half the time was waiting on parts.

It is up and running.

First cut was shop space numbers. Made from Norwegian Birch.

And then on to the good stuff. Masked and Painted then cut.

Nice!
Did you customize a cnc kit or create it from scratch? I've been trying to justify building one. Looks like it's doing a great job!

Is the Xbox controller part of the CNC, or just happened to be laying in the photo?

The Xbox controller  is how I move the motor forwards, backwards, up, down and zero to the start of the cut.

The machine was built from scratch, everything was over built to with stand anything.

There is a 3/4 inch steel plate used as a strong back (can`t be seen in photos) for the motor Z axis.

Instead of 1/2 inch sides had a friend cut out on his CNC 3/4 inch aluminum, all motors are the best and strongest 

that could be found.

My friend also turned some parts on his metal lathe so we could get extra beefer patrs.

This thing is bullet proof.

This is the prototype we used just made everything bigger and stronger.
