CNC Having a go
Posted: Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:02 pm
I am trying to build a CNC Machine just for the hell of it ,seeing Garys and others on you tube i,d give it a go .
Back to finished my post !
I have used Drawer sliders from an old filing cabinet i had in the shed i changed the design which i will more than likely do as i go if i think some else will work better .
But this will do for now to get it together .
I think the drawer sliders are ok for plastic work ,i am trying to build it best i can with the tools i have ,i have finished the X and Y axis movements ,i have to motorize these with stepper motors which will be connected to a long screw ,i need some bearings and see how best i can connect the steppers to this .
I don't know how long this will take to do but theres lots of help on the net seeing others work so it does much design easy .
