Very cool video, and nice machine too!Originally Posted by Jay C
Can never get enough of those CNC videos!!
Yokonho,
Hows the progress, havent seen anything lately.
I see Ger21's building a CNC using the torsion box system. Being an old wood worker, I like the feel of this type.
Hope to see more of your work soon.

New drawings????
Great machine! I love the design! Do you have any plans or drawings you would like to share for those of us who would like to emulate(copy) your design??
Tell Colin, great video, I watched four or five times with a big grin on my face!!
Beutiful setup, congratulations!!!
I am working on an update to the machine.
I have nearly got it completely laid out to be CNC cut, but I am short on time these days.
I am considering making it compatible with both Steel rod and bearings and IGUS linear slides (which work very well in this design) but it is a bunch of work, and I think there would only be about $80 dollars difference in price between the two systems. Currently it is designed for just the IGUS slides.
Any thoughts?

How goes the refit??? Drawings finalized with the slides? I'd love to have a look see. I've nearly got my 1st router up and running, but it is too big for the room I have to use it. A smaller more, finished looking, quieter unit is in order. Again, a great design, well worth imitating!!
Hi Lurch.
Just got back on this actually, life got in the way......
Drawings very very nearly finalised, slides on order. Once the slides arrive I will check actual measurements to my drawings, and off to the CNC router they go. So, with any luck, I will have everything ready to start assembling within 3 weeks.
The major part of the redesign was making everything key into place. This will make it easier to build true, and hopefull go together quicker.
I will post pictures once everything starts to roll.
Thanks for your interest, I still pat myself on the back for this design, still very pleased with it.

What is the distance between your y axis rods? I'm trying to work this out, see attached bmp. I've got a distance of 5.5 inches between rods on the y axis.....
I cant believe how I can completely miss some threads.
Thats a fantastic machine.
Great video too.
I love the way its is enclosed. That must make a big difference to the noise factor.
Being outside the square !!!
Noise and dust are greatly reduced, it is far quieter than my shop vac, you can talk at a normal level easily with the machine running, no hearing protection required. Dust is also non existent outside of the enclosure. The design is also particularly rigid.
V2.0 is almost ready to go to the CNC shop (and V2.1 is hot on its heels!)

thanks for the kudos
Yukonho,
When you get your drawings finalized will you post them in a new build thread?
I found out today that I have a new home to move into in July. I will have a real shop! It may take some time to organise it like I want though. The point is I will actually have the space to do a proper build and document it.
The plans are not plans as such, they are toolpath type drawings ready to be programmed for a CNC router to cut it out. I have considered offering kits of the wood parts, depending on what the CNC shop cost ends up being. It is my old workplace, and we have a good rapport, so maybe I will get a preferential price, but I am not counting on it.

Plans for Torsion box design
Yukonho,
I tried sending a PM, but your mailbox is full. I'm a newby here and I've been reading the thead about your torsion box design. I want to build one. Do you have any plans I can purchase along with any precut parts?
Thanks,
Steve
good machine
