DIY Wood working machine

I just start to make plans for my build.

What you think about this:

16mm supported rails.Desire dimension is 1200x800mm.Acme trapezoid with 5mm pitch.The load will be on one side of the Y.Is this a problem or not

Perhaps this contruction gives you some more inspirations.

Next plan is

i think it is better then previous,but the rails worried me.They are on one side.Can this make trouble

Hi there,

the load on one side of die Y doesn´t matter.
Take a look at other router-buildings, it´s the same.

Make the plates down at the rails of X more broadly, gets better stability.

Sorry to jack a thread,

Great job on that machine. Do you have a build thread anywhere? Any more pictures? Especially of your rails.

The only thing I can think of is to change the front end to metal instead of wood. I'm assuming the rest of the machine is metal.

hey guys how about this design????

[abomb55076]

I like your variant 3, its almost identical to my design. I think it works pretty good. I havnt had any regrets yet, its been stable, accurate, and gets the job done. Check out homegrowncnc.com if your looking for more info about designing your machine.

i have finally finished designing my second router. its almost similar to the sketch i have posted before. Gentry is little different though.... it has table size of 1350mm X 3000 mm
structure made up of square n rectangle pipes. Weighing approx. 500 kgs.

On the long side how many motors you use? 2 or 1.I really like this build but someone tell me that i must use 2 motors on long side because the motion is on one side of the axis
