Some photos and history of a CNC router I built. Much of the design was influenced through posts I've read on this Forum, so I thought I'd give something back to the CNC Zone community and hopefully inspire some further builds.
I built this router for the purpose of machining composite material moulds for a concept car I was involved with building. Primarily the machine has been used to machine foam, wood and resins.
Sadly I need to relocate workshops and there is insufficient room to relocate the machine to the new premises. Subsequently it's now for sale and is listed on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251248895...84.m1555.l2649
