My CNC

2005-12-13 by Alan King

I have about 8-10 days until my boards get back, which need some 
internal routes, so time to get my CNC back up and running and tuned 
up.  Since it could stand a clean and some more mechanical fine tuning, 
I will deconstruct it and take pictures and measurements and write up a 
guide on how to assemble and align it easily and properly.  $75-ish for 
the mechanics not including motors and driver, metal in basically all 
critical areas, parts all from Lowes, and only takes a drill and the 
ability to cut ends off etc, straight lines are from the metal parts not 
cuts.  Haven't tweaked it to 100% in all ways, but it's pretty good 
already and I think almost anyone could get this built fairly well 
without a ton of tools or time.  In fact, I think I'll get going on it 
some tonight, should have pictures within the next day or two.
