    Creative director, Chris Fitch, built himself a CNC a few years ago - just to see what it was like. The result is a machine that costs less than half of a comparable commercial model. Take a look at the details and features here.
    The plans include a complete list of materials, supplies, and sources, but the CNC components came from www.BuildYourCNC.com.

    MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes.

    I had a 10" Dewalt compound miter saw for around 12 years (light duty). It still works great

  • @anandawijesinghe6298

    Linear Rails for the slides and Ballscrews for the drive shafts are the way to go to achieve greater accuracy, not V-groove slides and std lead screws !

    Now you're really tempting me. I was going to ask about the anti-backlash nuts just before you mentioned them. Does this include a pressure pad to zero the z-axis?

    I followed the plans and built one (some videos up) and it's my favorite tool to learn on.

    Very excellent, understandable explanation of the CNC process. Prior to this video, it had been as clear as mud.

    So glad you are putting out this video...a tool is tool..this one just happens to follow jigs that are digital and not made from wood...but couple of things Sir..you confused your X and Y directions ( Y is up and down the length of the table front to back and x is crossing the table side to side) I also noticed your are using a nema 32 for the Y drive and only a nema23 for the x..you probably get a better cut and deeper cut from adding a nema32 for your x axis. So SO happy you started down this path I wish you all the best of luck...Pleae let me know If can help you someway.

    Actually, a 4' x 8' CNC router can in fact replace the table saw. Just insert an 1/8" spiral mill bit and the kerf is pretty much the same as the table saw blade. A 1/16" spiral mill bit will give you the same cut as a thin blade on a table saw.

    The magazine totally ticks me off. Got a free try issue with part 2 of this build in it and to this day I still haven't been able to get vol. 41 / No 242 that has part 1 in it. Hopefully free plans will be available if this build ever makes it to the show or even a way to buy the missing back issue??????

    Thanks, but I do have the original plans and specifications by Wordsmith and built it complete just as the machine you show in the video. After searching, I found the the NEW Mach 4 can be used with any MAC system. At this time, and a few more headaches, I think I can move ahead. I have had quite a bit of experience with SketchUp, so it may not be quite the learning curve I was expecting.

    It's not 200 divided by 64! It's 200 multiplied by 64 that gives you the number of total steps!

    What are the tolerance and repeatability this cnc can hold and provide?

    Your voice is so calming. I could just listen this video on repeat and be content

  • @PerpDoc

    I recently started the cnc router build. Can I shorten the length from 60 inches to 48 inches? Too big for my shop and 60" baltic birch is hard to find and way expensive these days. I teach at Woodcraft in Atlanta and can get 48" baltic at reasonable cost. Thanks in advance. DrMike

    I don't understand how v-rollers running on aluminum angle will hold up very long? My CNC engraving table uses hardened v-rollers but they run on hardened round rods.

    Is it easily scalable to larger like a 4x8 or 5x10

    Love it man I just don’t have room in my garage

    When I built a CNC router (from scratch, not one of these - sorry), I found it saved me no time. What it did was hugely expand the range of things I made. The best thing for me is the accuracy. Dovetails just slide together without an hour of intervention with a chisel. And of course doing things this way makes you plan and design rather than hacking and hoping. Best investment ever.

    I’m still hoping to see more videos about this machine. To me, this is by far one of the best “DIY” cnc projects I’ve seen. I wonder how difficult it would be to install a spindle instead of an actual router❓
