    Volume 3 - Chapter 9 - UC100 Install

    UC100 Installed and working.
    CNC Construction Set Build 3 Blog-_mg_1691-jpg

    I plan on installing the UC300ETH and configuring it. I will do that after I go through Volume 3 completely so I can iron out any issues in the book.

    A tornado hit our local Amazon distribution center so any thing I order is taking weeks, Once some of the parts needed for the advanced electronics volume finally get here, I will start as I suspect I will have volume 3 testing complete.

    On this build I added rear covers and connectors to the Motors.

    While you don't have to add connectors to your motors, I do it because I change things around all the time.

    My layout board is placed on the lower shelf I added earlyer. As this is only an option, you will need to come up with some sort of table to hold the layout board if you did not add this lower shelf.

    Volume 3B


    I upgraded the machine to advanced Electronics as per the Volume 3B book.
    CNC Construction Set Build 3 Blog-_mg_2394-jpg

    Advanced electronics, while a little more expensive lets you move into some more advanced operations, such as plasma cutting or adding a rotary axis.


    I have added a drag chain upgrade and mounted the layout board to the machine.

    You can find the upgrades here:

    Basic CNC Tables

    I did a writeup on adding various table types to the CNCCS.

    Router Mount

    I added a CNCRouterParts router mount to the build.

    This means you can use any of several spindles or routers with the CNCCS (CNC Construction Set)

    At this point this point, I will start the plasma table upgrades for the CNCCS (CNC Construction Set) build. This upgrade will allow me to perform CNC plasma cutting operations. I can still add clamp tables and spindle/router carriages to perform milling operations.
