I built this QueenBee PRO 1000×1500 as a rigid, medium‑format CNC router for my small workshop. It’s based on the Bulkman3D lead screw kit with HGR linear rails, upgraded with a 2.2 kW water‑cooled spindle and an xPro V5 controller for reliable motion control. My goal was to have a machine that can comfortably handle wood, plastics and occasional aluminium work, with enough travel for furniture parts and larger panels. I focused on careful mechanical assembly, lead screw tensioning and cable man

Heavily upgrading my 1200x500 Shapeoko 2... ...er, wait, scratch that... Building an all new machine, roughly the same size, that should be more rigid than a Shapeoko 3!

Build Complete!

This is my first CNC build. As per the norm, I went in with months of research, planning, and resource gathering tied neatly together with a solid plan. As the path went on, the plan continued to change to accommodate issues I hadn't counted on. But, at the end of the road, the project reached completion, and I learned a ton along the way!
