Ball nut and screw for Z axis

Hi there,

I am ill still and can not do anything in workshop. But I received one more thing to new CNC. Ball nut and screw for Z axis. This is 1605 screw, 200 mm thread long. Already prepared to install. But first I have to project and cut out parts for Z axis.

Only Z axis will have a screw. Rest of axis will be belt driven. I think I will use HTD 5 belt as a direct transmission for X and Y axis. I like to have a fast machine.

Frame of new CNC

Hi all,

So I start to work. I like aluminum profiles and where there was a possibility I try to buy used ones.

I take almost half year to collect all those profiles, but price for them was less than half of new ones.
Some time ago I bought miter saw and blade for aluminum profiles.

What now?

Hi all,

Last days I was ill and I spend some time in bed. I had a lot of time to thinking what to do next. I had a several ideas. But I could not decide what to chose.I could build several things that will be helpful for me, but decision was hard to make.
I thing the bigger CNC would be the best one. I have already all profiles and linear bearings and rails for all axis. I will start this build immediately.

CNC - done

Hi,

I think I have ended building my latest CNC. There is some unfinished things like connecting end stops. But I can work without them. And I like to start to do new things as fast as possible. But some photos before:
