I finally found plans for a CNC mill that inspired confidence in January. After 2 - 3 months of fabricating and sourcing parts I now have a three axis CNC mill. It is a desktop sized unit with an effective work area of 10" x 17" x 3" utilizing my Porter Cable 690 router. The image below is what the machine looked like with a Dremel as originally designed. I quickly decided it needed a real cutting tool so I modded the machine to hold the Porter Cable router.
I demo'ed the unit for the Triad Woodworkers group last night and enjoyed sharing ideas on using CNC for wood working.
Does anybody on NCWW have a CNC machine in the garage for woodworking or other use? Anybody want to build a CNC machine for their garage?
