I made some more progress on my CNC router project. Here are all the base pieces put together in a mock-up of what the final result will look like. The black pipes are what the gantry will ride on.

CNC router progress
Monday, August 9th, 2010CNC router progress report
Friday, November 6th, 2009I have decided to build my CNC router based on a design by CNCzone.com forum user jgro.
This is a 3D view of the CAD design.
Here is a pile of parts I have completed.
As you can see I am making a real mess in the garage.
Here are the bearing assemblies for all 3 axis. These are made from aluminum angle and skate bearings and will ride on black gas pipe to form a linear bearing.
Here is the back of the x-axis assembly, showing the parallel bearings.
CNC router
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009You have to use your imagination, but this is the start of a CNC router.
We have a 2’x4′ sheet of 3/4″ MDF, 1/8″ aluminum angle (3/4″ and 11/4“), 5/16-18×3/4″ bolts, 1/4-20×2” bolts, 5/16-18 tap and drill bit and two boxes of nuts for the bolts.
If you aren’t familiar with CNC routers then check out this Youtube search for some videos. The wife approval factor for this project is about -1000 so job number one will have to be something really nice for her. =)
