How tight is the resolution? I am looking into building a CNC router to carve arch top mandolin parts. Would like to be able to cut to within .010 to .015 of finished dimensionon wood plus or minus .001" in pearl inlay material.
Also want to be able to use a laser ranger on the Z axis to digitize prototype surfaces.
Engraving and routing of non-ferrous metals is also desired.
Been looking at a 24x36 in. Designed by Bob Campbell at campbelldesigns.com. Uses modular aluminum extrusions and linear slides plus anti-backlash scrrews. On paper it should be pretty rigid. Your thoughts please?
Servo, I am told, cuts faster and doesn't lose steps. True or not??
Too many questions, too few answers.
Thanks all.
Neat site
