Hi All,
First post here – but long time CNC fan. I built a small machine a few years ago – it didn’t work too well, but I learned a lot. I’m now ready to build a new one.
I just spoke with an engineer at 80/20 and at my local 80/20 distributor - they both agreed that their bearings should work if I am not looking for super high tolerances – which I’m not. I mainly just want to cut out wood & foam for projects.
My next step is to send a sketch of what I want to the engineer, he’ll spec out the parts needed and price it. As long as this isn’t too expensive, I’ll probably build a small (~30x20x6) table in this fashion and see how it goes. I’ll post my findings.
If anyone has any suggestions, please jump in.
Thanks!
