I picked up a FrankenCNC that I am trying to rebuild into something else. It originally had 2 C-Beams to move the table, I want to have a stationary table with a moving gantry. The pics show the C-Beams I have to work with, they have Openbuilds high torque motors. My question is what would you suggest to convert them to move the y-axis?
Just move them to the outside, stand them on edge and connect them like you see in LEAD CNC 1010 (40" x 40") | OpenBuilds. Couldn't be simpler. You may want to watch the video or download the Sketchup model for suggestions on how to frame out the bed. And BTW, the system you have was originally sold here as the C-Beam Machine XLarge | OpenBuilds
