I’m a newbie to CNC controlled machines, although I’ve using and building tooling and machinery for way too many years now.
Recently I decided to “bite the bullet” and build a CNC Plasma/Router unit, after joining and reading a lot of the posts on this Forum....I've posted my concept design specs for what I think may be a suitable build on the DIY CNC Router site of this Forum (as this is a combination machine I'd like to get the "Best of both worlds"...although I realise it's a compromise) and would love to hear feedback, but I was not sure if it was "acceptable" to also post them on this thread, or just provide a link to the Router Forum thread.
Anyway, here it is:
New Build Specification (Plasma/Router unit)
Any feedback would be apreciated ... Thanks!
Peter.
I've now posted some CAD images and revised specs for this build and would appreciate any recommondations or suggested changes prior to starting to cut any metal or ordering components.....otherwise I guess I can take it, that I'm somewhat on the right track.
As this is a "Combo"/hybrid design I posted it on the Router section of the Forum with this link in the Plasma area.
