Cool. I have a plywood framed router that is nearly finished, Just need to hook up the motors, geckos, and power supply. I am also collecting parts for a 5'x5' router that will have a steel frame and use 76" IKO slides that I got for dirt cheap. Plus I have parts to make a couple of small size routers. The biggest hurdle for me will be setting up the software and learning cad to produce what I want to make as well has learning the machine capabilities such as feeds and speeds.
What software are you go to use on your personal machine? You say it is a simply built machine, What kind of slide bearings are on it? What is used for drive, rack or ballscrew? Just curious if this is a shopbot style router? Wish I knew someone to get a router for scrap price... |
