Looking for some Plans/Blueprints

[Jesse B]

I'm wanting to make a small cnc machine, used mostly for milling PCB's, but also used for wood/plastic/etc. I would like to build it myself (unless there's some awesome low-cost deals out there, then I'd love to see them. I'd rather they didn't have electronics, but if the price is right anything will interest me). I wouldn't mind having to pay for the plans if they're excellent, but would prefer they be free.

I don't need this to be very big at all; ~9"-12" by ~6"+ would be plenty for my needs.

So, what is there out there?

Thanks,

Look at the free plans from finelineautomations.com they use 8020 for the frame and also sell kits of all the stages. They have their own linear bearings and rails but you can use skate bearings or just about any linear bearing/rail system you want.
I was going to use wood but after seeing the plans using 8020 I decided it was going to be much easier to work with. You do not have to use the fineline plans as is, but use them as a guide. The people at 8020 will cut the pieces you order to whatever lenght you want for a small fee.

Awesome, thanks. I'll have to check it out.
