Re: How to Make a Simple CNC Machine

Hi Alvaro,
Thanks for the kind words. My booklet has a over 50 computer
drawing....others plans don't even come close. Who needs a $150
leadscrew when a $2 piece of 1/4-20 threaded rod will work. I use a
one inch piece of rubber tubing to couple the motor to the threaded
rod. The Z-X-Y all move just like a Bridgeport. All the GCODES are the
same except for the FEEDRATE. My unit will engrave or mill. I fail to
beleive a set of plans as SIMPLE as mine exist! The unit is for the
beginner who can't afford to spend more than $125.
