Anxious To Build Joes CNC

[Post1952]

Hi
I am new to the forum and anxious to build this Joes great look CNC machine. After thinking about it a short time I have decided to hand make the parts. I have down loaded the DWG drawings and have added the dimension so I can cut out all the parts. With Joes permission I have uploaded the drawing they are in DWG & DXF format for those how needs them. If anyone has any question about the drawings please leave a post. As I progress with this project I will have a lot of question especially about the wiring & calibration cense I have little knowledge with that part of the build. I will also be looking forwarded to the comments from everyone. Cutting the parts out may take some time before the build & posting of any question & pictures.

Thanks in advance

I too am going to make the parts myself. As much as I would like to just buy a kit from Joe to show my appreciation for all he has done I just can't right now.
I would like to say thanks to Joe for the great design and thanks to you for the dimensioned drawing. My only question would be the depth of all the routes that do not go all the way through. But I don't want you to have to go through all that trouble to get them. I will try to get them myself. If I get them before the next person does I would be more then happy to post a updated drawing with this added to it. But of course I would need Joe's permission. But any ways Thanks to the both of you.

Well after looking at the DWG a little more I see the depth's in there so never mind my question.

Thanks

Hi AndrewN
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on the depth's, in Joes original drawings the depth was not in them. I have added that part to the drawings, that is how I am going to grove them. I am open for suggestions.

the parts you show are of 3/4" MDF most the parts i have are 1/2" mdf and the stepdown will need adjusting accordingly. i.e. the router end pieces, are pocketed .25 for the 1/2" MDF.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the depth of the routes will not change just the thickness of the panel right? If that is the case then all will need to do is change the thickness in the CNC when I machine out the parts.

If you can import the stl files i provide you will be able to get all the diminsions for every part, these files were generated right out of solidworks.

IF there's going to be confusion with the dimension that I have added to the drawings. I will remove the files and the post from the site. I didn't realize that you had file out there that had dimension. I will try and figure out how to import to AutoCAD. If you have any suggestion I sure can use the help.

[joecnc2006]

I will practice with them and see what i can do also.

Wow.. sure seems to be a touchie subject. I'll not ask any more questions. Thanks for the help.
