Wow your good if you can build a quality precision machine that will last a life time with standard shop equipment. Whats your secret?

[1claytonangelo3]

You don't need a cnc to build a cnc, standard shop equipment is all you need. The more you spend on proper parts the less fabrication is needed to build one, spend less and fabricate and design what you need from scratch, more work but less money. To me the idea of a cnc is to make things from nothing, so I made my machine from nothing, quality steppers, drivers, threaded rods, and bearings ect. And dabbed the rest from what I had and could find affordable.

Seems to me that you need a good CNC machine to build a CNC machine, at least quickly and of good quality. :)

No, it means he's not using any belts. All the motors are coupled directly to the screws.

i hope you're proud enough about your skills, trav...

i enjoy seeing ppl create things like this and giving the big companies a polite finger.

i know very less about this stuff. it is just awesome to see that you have build it your self and it works. i am dreaming about having my own cnc machine too one day.

[h2oreactor]

Nice machine.

Is this a belt drive system?

Is this from a plan?

I'm building my first CNC, hope you can help a bit.

[trav36]

Thanks

It is direct drive.

I designed this machine.

I am thinking about releasing either plans or parts in kit form.

Thanks

Travis
