Exactly. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
I was thinking that in depth discussion of machine design would be
off topic for this group, and drounded out in the CCED one.
My "Simple PCB-CNC" (I may use that for a plans set one day) would be
designed around that basic premise that one cannot easily afford or
find linear rails and ball screws.
Wood is fine for the base, steel rails can be as 'high tech' as drill
rod or silver steel, depending on which side of the pond you are on.
some sort of plastic, pvc, UHMW or something.
a ridgid frame that is simple to build with easily found materials.
I'm thinking one could use 2x4 lumber for the majority of the project.
The only hard part is the drilling action. Anyone know how far a
car door electric unlocker solenoid moves ?
