Yes i send you an e-mail.
Hi Joe,
I am just about ready to start building from the original plans. I have to scale up the cutting table. Can you remind me of the actual size of the cutting table of your original machine. I know you made it to hold 2 X 4 ft sheets of MDF, but can it actually cat that all the way to the edges ir is the sctual cutting area smaller.
I nead to actually cut (real size) 46" X 30"
Thanks for all you help

the actual cut was 24x45 i think, that machine is dismantled, but i'm positive of the 24".

Thanks Joe. I expect that I can work everything else out from there.

Hi
I would love to build your router! could you please email me on jestah_nz@hotmail DOT com with your dwg files?
Will it be tricky to scale this up so the cutting size is 60"?
Thanks

is there a thread for the setup and tuning of this style machine? I have some questions.
Neil
I don't have the means to cut out some of the parts, but would really like to build a CNC machine. I've ordered the Hobby CNC kit w/ 3 steppers, and have put in an order for the six foot long acme threaded rods. Today I will order the skate bearings.
The parts I could really use are the ones for mounting the steppers to the machine, and the parts needed for the backlash assembly. I can build the torsion boxes and main gantry with a table saw, radial arm saw, etc.
If someone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.
my e-mail is spyder_meister(at)bresnan.net or esoteric(at)bresnan.net
thanks

Why not just make them yourself?
The antibacklash nuts, for example, are very simple to make at home. You need only a tap (thing to cut the threads with) and a piece of plastic from which to make the actual nut.
Since ACME taps are expensive and hard to find, you can just grind down and sharpen a cut off piece of your ACME rod, and use it to chase the threads. The resulting nut will be a tight fit, and more than adequate for a first generation machine.
If you want even better control of backlash, there are some slightly more sophisticated designs that can be used.
Here's how I did mine...and they worked great.

The slit cut almost all the way through allows the nuts to be "bound" slightly, and reduces backlash quite efficiently. VERY simple to build.
Hope this helps.

Chuck, that does like easy to build, thank you!
