First a little about my cnc experience which equals none. This includes experience with cad/cam software as well. So I will be learning as I go and hopefully not do to many mistakes on the way. With some help from the members here, which i allready have startet to recieve, I believe this will be possible.
So why am I building this? I love gadgets, and love to build stuff. I have a small woodworking shop in my basement and plan to use this there. Firstly for small woodworking projects, but also be able to cut som aluminum parts like brackets and mounts. I have been loking at doing this for the last 4-5 years. On the long run i plan to maybe make a larger macine and i would love to use this build to make parts for that.
So whats my plan and what do i need to complete this.
I have started to order parts and doing reaserch as to what i want to get. This can be divided in to the following areas:
Base cnc kit:
Ooznest OX cnc mechanical kit - ordered
Modifications to OX kit:
Dual belt on x and y axes - ordered
C-beam for x axis - ordered
Spindle:
1.5kw spindle + vfd - ordered
Motion controller:
Still doing research, but would like something that i can hook up with ethernet. Maybe a smoothstepper and g540.
Accessories:
Auto z probe
Limit switch or proximity sensors
Computer:
Have old machine that i will use.
Software
cad/cam - I'm liking autodesk Fusion 360 which is free for my use.
Mach 3 or linux cnc
