Joes CNC Model 2006 R-1

[yotawheeler]

hey guys...i downloaded some of joe's plans and i was going through them and they look great but.....there are no measurments in the dwgs that i have looked at...are these all just drawn to a 1:1 scale that i can just set up my printer to the same scale and print out templates or am i missing something here?

Yes the cad files are 1:1, you can open them in any drawing program and get measurements or like you say print 1:1.

Hello everyone, this is my first post, I am wanting to build the 2006 model.
Where can i go to learn all about the cnc software.
I worked for a machine shop for 30 years so I know my way around tooling, but not cnc.

Hi all... first post here, but im hoping many more... Ive downloaded joe's R2 zip file... And decided to build it... but since i dont have a cnc machine or someone close to me that does, can u point me in the right direction... which files in that zip should i use to see the cutting dimensions? and with what program should i open them? Because i will have to cut all those parts by hand for the first time, i could really use the dimensions of all the parts, cuts, holes, etc...

Ive installed solidworks viewer sofar, but no luck... or i dont know how...

thanks all for your replies...

But i have a few questions before i do. I hope this is the place to ask!! what is the difference in Joes model 2006 and the joes model 4X4 is it the size of the machine? also trying to find a good link to elaing the differnce between Rack and Pinion and leadscrew. I want to cut oak, maple about 3/4-1 inch stock i want to have the larger bed to have a table to cut many parts in one layout table. Any info would be great thanks
