Overview

A medium sized CNC Machine capable of cutting patterns

The Plan

  • This project's focus is on implementing basic (though scalable) CNC functionality.

Progress

  • Most of the Parts are ordered. The wood has been cut, but not fitted. Waiting on Barrel Nuts to arrive.

Parts List

Part Number Price
2'x 4'x 3/4" MDF 4 $45
608ZZ Bearings (BRA) 24 $18
R8zz Bearings 6 $13
Aluminium Angle Bracket (1" x 1/8" x 36") 1  ?
NEMA 23 Steppers 3
240W DC Power Supply 1
CNC Controller Kit (china) 1 $160
Sub Total ~$236

Next Steps

  1. Lewters sells Barrel Nuts, so if the ones I ordered don't arrive soon - get some from there. (consolation: I didn't order enough anyway)
  2. Put the Table together.
  3. Get miscellaneous parts (screw connectors)
  4. Wait for the Control Equipment to arrive from China.

Resources

Ideas

  • I'll probably want to go with a belt drive system for the 4'x 8' iteration.
