Hi All,

Find the pics of router attached to the cnc.

Had it cut a piece of wood board, no vibration what so ever, but a lot of dust.

Nice Work done Irfan What IPM u got from ur machine... For this type of chinese router , u will get trouble in tool change. Install Jack bolts arrangement, so that u can tight the router lock with bolt and then tool change. Ohhh.. also dont forget to unbolt the locking after tool change

[Khalid]

The router u r using is very powerful, the same i have it on my machine By the way what sort of work u will do with ur router

Salamalikum,

The router is a Japanese Makita, I have not yet connected the drives to the router, I am waiting for timing pulleys from my friend Manjeet, and in the meantime building my UHU controller. I am planning V carving and 3 d carving along with plastic machining.

Fill hollow areas with something to reduce sound - like chopped rubber tires or dry sand. There are better but more expensive solutions.

Ultimately, you will want an enclosure.

I was referring to the enclosure design.

Seen any one do that - the best and cheapest way of all?

Hi Irfan,
Great looking, good progress.
Harryn is correct, fill those tubes with something like old wool or cotton/rugs and then plug them with wood stopper, as they produce resonance. This should reduce vibrations a lot.
A dust succer is also essential.

[contactirfu]

Resonance produces vibrations, and my frame has no vibrations what so ever. It is the sound of the router which is the cause for an issue.You will get to know it once u have one....... a high db noise and highly irritating and I am sure neighbors will object, I am already planning to build a enclosure of wood (double layered wood wall) for it.

Ya the sound of router is gr8.. But we can't do anything for it we had to bear it..i usually put ear plugs if u havent then u make a cotton plug and have it///
The router may be replace with DC motor with special spindle.
