I would suggest one of the designs created around the new C-Beam XL Gantry Plate. It'll offer good repetitive carving movements and can be built...
I'm not aware of anyone here building a CNC machine substantial enough to handle such a task. There are several though who have built 3D printers...
What else you need depends a bit on what you are installing it into. Assembly instructions are provided in the videos on the Cbeam Linear...
None specific. There have been a few other similar concepts that have popped up but I don't recall any of them have gone very far.
Here is a concept I worked up a while back that may offer you a bit of help moving forward with this. It balances both the X and Z supports and...
You don't want oil, you want cutting fluid.
In your case it doesn't really matter. I'd suggest going with 6mm spacers just in case you want to reconfigure it later back to use with 8mm screws.
No, you won't be okay. As soon as you tighten the wheels properly your wheels will seize up and potentially do damage to the bearings. Best...
Cut some simple 40mm blocks out of 1/4 x 3/4 bar stock. Drill recessed holes for M5 screws as shown and drill and thread a 1/4-20 hole in the...
Nice work. Only suggestion I could offer would be inverting the screws on the Y-axis plates and turning them downward. This will make attachment...
Failures???? There are no failures, just good reasons to try something another way. ;)
Mini V Wheel Precision Shim (The 8mm shims are for the mini-v wheels. The 10mm shims rub the outer edge of the bearing.)

The dual-V wheels won't work on an Ox where the belts wrap around them. They cause cupping of the belts which leads to premature deterioration of...
Chris, I don't believe you are quite following. While the thickness of the wheels is different, what matters is that the center lines of the...
If you go way back to the original Routy, it was done without any custom plates. It has since been updated a bit but still has the same potential...
Do not lubricate the track. This causes debris to stick to it. Brush debris from the tracks as it collects with a soft brush and/or vacuum it...
Blocking that anchors into the slots that serves the same purpose as locating pins.
Lower cost. The main issue is verifying that you can mount the lead nut to the plate and have the mounted assembly fit into the limited amount of...
Nope, I didn't really take any farther than what is shown. There are several others who have developed systems around the C-Beam actuators...
