18 x 24 x 5 V Bearing MachineA Simple and Solid CNC Router Table![]() |
This machine is made of stock sizes of aluminum, steel and wood, which are cut to length and drilled. This simplifies construction and reduces cost. The axes can be lengthened for a larger cutting area. The axes are supported by V bearings that ride steel rails. This gives stable travel for fast and accurate cuts. The gantry is driven with pinions on racks, and the carriage and Z axis are driven with leadscrews. Racks and pinions are fast, and leadscrews are simple. |

The plans include step by step written directions with over 300 photos and dimensioned drawings of the components and the building process.
Full scale templates for a number of the parts simplify construction. More information is on the Details Page. |

These plans do not include directions
for the software and electronics because the suppliers cover this information for their own products.
These plans do give directions for deriving the Step per Inch values that are needed to configure the software for this machine. The machines were all designed to use NEMA 23 stepper and drive components such as those from Geckodrive, Xylotex and
HobbyCNC.
Mach3 and TurboCNC are popular controller software options. Other software and motor suppliers can be used. The above vendors work with the Do It Yourself market; they have help forums and documentation. |
