Get the step-by-step plans for this Shop-Built CNC Router here: www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/c...
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.

I had a 10" Dewalt compound miter saw for around 12 years (light duty). It still works great kzfaq.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe but I wanted something bigger. My only complaint about the 10" was the location of the motor, and this version fixes that issue. The XPS system works well. My only request for future versions is a dust collection port (or adapter) that fits large shop vac hoses (or standard PVC pipe fittings) a little better. But that's not a complaint, just a request.

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. Using a down cut bit will prevent tear out on the first pass but may not clear the saw dust on subsequent paths. An up cut bit may cause tear out on the first pass but will clear the saw dust subsequent passes. That is provided of course: that I don't have the up cut and down cut term definitions backwards. Sometimes, my brain decides to do a dyslexia dump. The caveat however is that the CNC router may not be able to make those straight cuts as fast as a table saw can without breaking the bit.

@corymiller6986 4 жыл бұрын

Maybe in a limited sense of making cuts, and some rabbets/dados. I'm not sure you would be able to properly make angled cuts (of the thickness of board...i.e. tilting the blade) and dados on the edge of boards (i.e. groove for tongue and groove) to name a few. Plus if you wanted to make a tenon, you'd have to flip the board on the cnc and hopefully get it set in the right place again. Not to mention the setup time for cad/cam for the operation. I guess if you only use the table saw for certain operations and you use a different tool for different operations you could. But I wouldn't want to. I have a small cnc in my shop and it is useful for some things, but I couldn't personally seeing one replace my table saw.

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.

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.

I have a little problem with the plans i bought from you for this CNC, the 1''x1'' aluminium angle which have no thickness dimension on the part list, I found in the pages 4 and 11 it says 1/8 thick but in the secondary plans set it says 1/16, so 1/8 or 1/16 for the 1''x1'' ? and I suppose the 1,5'' x 1,5'' is 1/8 thick ?

@WoodsmithShowandmagazine 4 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the delay, we are all working from home right now so I had to do some running around to get the correct answer... 1/16” is the thickness for the 1” aluminum angle. I’ve confirmed that is what we used on our machines and what our project designer intended. You could get away with using 1/8” thick material but it would cost more and there is no need for the extra thickness because it is supported by the beveled wood. I will get those corrections made to the plans. The 1.5” aluminum angle is 1/8” thick.

Hello I have a question about the use of a single central lead screw for the X axis. Could it not produce a torsion on the gantry when cutting on both ends of the Y axis as a result of the distance from the place where the force is produced by part of the router, to the center where is the lead screw that commands the gantry ?. I am very interested in your opinion about it. Thank you very much and best regards!!!.

@sebastianmaldonado8875 3 жыл бұрын

what about this comment ? can you answer this question please ?

@musicmaneman38 4 жыл бұрын

Minor correction. The Y axis is always the long axis. X is cross left to right on the gantry, Z is vertical. If you are making small projects then it wouldn't matter. You would just turn the stock sideways. If you are cutting a long piece like a guitar neck you allign with the Y axis from a parallel edge. Good looking basic machine. I would use nema 23 motors no smaller than 420 oz with rm1605 ballscrews.

@WoodsmithShowandmagazine 4 жыл бұрын

You are correct... I guess I misspoke on that. Thanks.

@rok1475 3 жыл бұрын

Where did you get the idea that Y is the long axis? Axis assignment is somewhat arbitrary but it starts with selecting the corner of the work area that will be the origin (point 0,0 on cartesian coordinates projected onto the work surface). Then X and Y are assigned the way you were taught at school- Y goes up/down, X goes right/left. You can configure a CNC router and assign X, Y and Z any way you want. But it makes it easier if you configure the machine to match your CAD/CAM software. If you prefer to work on your CAD drawing in portrait then you set the longer axis as Y. If your drawing area is in landscape, having X as the longer axis makes more sense.

After wiring and setting up the software, there was a learning curve in how to use it, but if you are more computer literate than me, this would be a big help.

I totally disagree ! A cnc router WILL change the entire workflow in the shop or you did not get what a cnc router is all about. If you consider a cnc router as an automatic plunge router or an accurate jig maker, you left your mind in the last century. Most of your tools will be useless, including your table saw, as you just have to flat a face on the jointer, then the CNC router will do what's left, except finishing and assembly.
