Thanks guys for all the help.These are questions to help fine tune a design for a 5X10 router.I have spent the last 8 months on the epoxy granite thread,Ignoring what I want to achieve.Unfortunately all the Zone threads and posts I saved over the year were lost.I would like to build with no welding,using epoxy joints and E/G where useful.
An absolute must is another axis or Y carriage for a drill.A CNC router without a drill is useless to me.Upon drafting a design,[no CAD skills]It appears the gantry would have to be 8'long to cut or drill a 5'sheet.Any cool ideas for a drill?Adding 3' to the gantry ups the cost considering the price of linear rails and ballscrew.If their is noway around it,so be it I will build an 8'gantry.
Thanks again
Larry
