First run of DIY CNC

[Th3mast3r69]

Nice

[DanFrederiksen]

nice speed, cool sounds : )

is it just a parallel port stepper that requires a realtime os?

[Mega666Mike]

Nice! 

[razblack]

that's pretty incredible resolution... seems professionaly constructed.. how did you come up with the plan, what was total BOM, and do you have more samples of it working?

[pageygeeza]

I love the noise of the stepper motors!

[karandex]

ONLY 600 IPM ?????

[lmogden1]

great video great machine

[diyengineer]

This is a super cool mini machine!! Super fast!!

[cidadaovagamundo2]

Really nice CNC. What motors did you use?

[565Customz]

hey where did you get the spindle from?

[RIAMCNC]

@565Customz

The spindle on this machine was made by me - it is a DIY spindle

[565Customz]

@RIAMCNC nice! ive been trying to figure out how to build a 20ish thousand rpm spindle, but i want to use air bearings...and im not having much luck 

[Aev308]

What is the technical term for those wire guides, and where did you get them?

[RIAMCNC]

They are called Energy Chains, check on ebay as sometimes you can get a good deal

[Aev308]

Thanks!

[Aev308]

great!

what did you use for the spindle

[chernyavsky]

Great job!

Hope I'll build my own cnc some day...

[0ogarrityo0]

thats one hell of a diy cnc, fast too, I have seen alot of diy cnc's and this one takes the cake... nice job!

[pmgodfrey]

It looks and sounds so sexy... I want one!

[JTMarlin8]

Cool machine, very well done.

Where did you get the T-slot table?

[paulinhop2a]

Good afternoon ... very interesting your cnc.

I wonder if you could help me, I bought the 251 gecko, but I am not finding help to link the 3 drives, you have some wiring diagram?

thanks

[jhbbunch]

Slick. Fast too. Nice job.

[fronkenpoop]

That's a very nice system indeed for- especially seeing that it's home made. Looks really robust, positive and fast. Just wish I had one!

[prabid]

what type of stepper u use

the model no. plz ????

[JustWonderingHowToDo]

What's the setup for the x-axis. I think I see two linear ways above each other?

Do you use a ballscrew?

[RIAMCNC]

The X axis (axis on the bridge) used linear rails (IKO). The other two axes use bishop wisecarver rails. The Z axis uses a ball screw and the X and Y axis use a belt drive.

[amza4u]

hi,there RIAMCNC I really like this machine and would like to get the exact dimension of 8020 T-slot you used to build the whole machine. and everything on it. I want one like that exactly .How much for one like this?USD

thank you Dushko

[tdchoice]

Johnny 5 is ALIVE.  Cool vid.

[haciman]

pretty cool. Nice machines.

[h2oreactor]

Did you cut the aluminum yourself, was it custom ordered?

Nicely done.

[RIAMCNC]

Thanks!

I have a mill and a lathe in my shop so I was fortunate enough to be able to machine parts to size.

[MelOAyness]

Aren't those servos and timing belts that are driving the X,Y travel? Are those slots on the table for tee bolts to hold the part? That sure is a neat little machine you got there, really nice job, be proud of yourself, your mind and your hands.

[RIAMCNC]

The machine uses stepper motors. Yes, the T-Slot material allows for the use of T-Nuts to clamp the parts in place.

Thanks!

Chris

[joeygonzo]

Do you make them and sell them?

tnx

[JuSlo]

nice work...i'm impressed
