Thanks for sharing this Hack, these plans will be very helpfull.

[Wun Fungi]

Thanks, Keith. Got the plans.

And Thanks, Hack. Excellent work! Will you be sharing the kit price publicly? Or do you prefer that we email you?

Hack,

Beautiful plans!! To people selling plans, TAKE NOTE. I believe anybody could confidently follow those plans and not get lost.

So, what kind of kit are you planning on selling? Are you planning to package all the 8020 components and re-sell them?

[studysession]

Just buy the parts from here:
http://stores.ebay.com/8020-Inc-Garage-Sale

That's where I get my stuff anyway.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. But I gather Hack plans on selling a kit. I'm not sure what would be in the kit since you can pretty much get everything from 8020 surplus. However, since he gave away the plans, I might be tempted to buy a kit from him just to spread the joy and encourage the development of great plans like this. In any case, just wondering what the kit would be.

These are Hack's plans to the router he built for all to download.
Let me know if you all have trouble with the link.

Thank's Hack for sharing them.

We posted his plans here....

Hack was selling the plans when the thread was started(look at the dates i think it was over a year ago..) then nothing happened with the thread.
i assume since its old news he decided to just give to CNCzone the plans, for us to all look at, build, or dream about.
I have already purchased all the neccessary stuff from 8020 surplus on ebay.
I have to say they have excellent service and are very responsive to emails and questions. A special thanks goes out to Mark meyer at 80/20 surplus.
yesterday i went to Home depot and bought the Hardware for the build.

Hack
One? they didnt have 5/16 1-1/4 bolts (i bought 1 -1/2)
are there any places in particular that need the 1-1/4?
seems most are use where tapping into the 80/20 ends (so i could just tap more)
Again thakns Hack for the plans.
I am going to have to start my own build thread i think....

[Hack]

I appreciate the kind words that all have given me about the plans. When I designed these, ease of build was my main concern. I feel I accomplished that. I gave these plans to CNC Zone as I really don't have as much time as I needed to preperly support them with all the questions people have, and I feel if someone pays for something it should come with support.

I don't recall, but it doesn't seem as though the longer bolts will not be an issue. And if it does, hardware is pretty cheap to replace if needed.

I do have a couple of old kits (wood parts only minus router mount) if someone is interested - contact me offline. Use to sell the wood kits for 125.00 a set, but will part with them for $50.00 a set just to get rid of them.

I had originally planned to sell complet kits and or machines, but didn't persue it when I started my current job (work about 60 hours a week). I would be glad to help others with this project though.

Enjoy.

I would like to see the plans hosted somewhere, so I would be willing to take you up on the offer. Also, if anyone else is willing to as well that would be nice. Send me an email address.

Dan

Are you still wanting someone to host the plans - because I can do that for you on my website www.uk-guitarshop.co.uk

Cheers

he already posted them....
I have been delayed on my build by having to buy a new vehicle and now its spring so theres projects to do outside

[ynnek]

I have built a similar machine, but a bit smaller. 10" x 12" cutting area. I had never been to this site & when I saw yours & read the thread I realized I ran into alot of the same problems you did. I was just wondering whic motors & controller you used?

[stoughto]

You specify parts to be made of 3/4" Melamine (for example, P/N 2436-02-01)

I this 3/4" HDF with a Melamine veneer? Or a solid block?

Thanks.

[bkboggy]

So, how much does it cost to build this one? I am thinking of starting '06 Joe's router, but it's going to be mostly MDF.

[Hack]

Sorry it has been a while since I have visited this thread. To answer a few question:

ynnek - I used the xylotex board with the 276 OZ motors from automation direct.

stoughto - this material is 3/4" white melamine the you can buy from local homecenters. It looks like a pc of particle board with a smooth white cover sheet on both faces. The home centers can often cut to size for you if needed.

bkboggy - I built the original for about 900 bucks using a combination of new and used parts. That included the machine, electronics, a used computer etc. New could be as much as 1300 for the machine. Keep in mind that good deals can be found on 8020 surplus ebay store. This can cut cost dramatically on extrusion.

Thanks.

[jgeissin]

Is there any possibility of getting the plans?

Thanks in advance!

[2ndserve]

The plans are no longer available on the site mentioned in earlier threads. How might I take a closer look at them otherwise?

Thanks,

Brad
