Interesting, I bought an OpenBuilds C-Beam machine, I think I mentioned this before, it is a very capable CNC router if you want to cut wood or plastic. I certain it would slice up CF sheet without trouble, but trying to cut Aluminium was beyond it. Just not stiff enough. I've bought a much larger mount for my router but have yet to drill the holes ready to attach it to the gantry. I have it in mind, should the "new & improved" model struggle with Al, to "double" the gantry such that the router is sandwiched between supports. It will cut down some of the work area on the Y axis but if it turns out to be rigid enough to cut soft metals extending the Y axis won't be a problem. Good things to mess around with, I haven't been giving it the attention it deserves though, got a new toy a 100W cheap Chinese CO2 laser. Good luck with the build. Merry Christmas, somewhat belatedly, and a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year to you.

Great project!you must have soent so much time modelling! what spindle are u planning to use?and what size are your Linear rails?having built many cnc's I can say that 600mm is about the limit for unsupported rails of 20mm, but not knowing what u will be cutting its hard to say, if you are milling PCBs you might be OK if you are trying to cut wood or plastic you might have to take very small passes without any deflection.if you want a cheap bombproof linear rail consider v bearings and angle iron!again depends what u are cutting but your steppers look a bit small you might want to consider nema 23 size. Welcome to CNC, just remember your fiurst machine will probably be proof of concept and it will still be fun!

I've been designing a CNC that happens to look an awful lot like the design you show at 10:40. I'm planning on using a cast aluminum t-slot bracket to hold the Z axis up (all plates are MDF). Also, I'm going to try using only one X axis lead screw placed in between the rails. I think there's enough space between the spindle and rail for it to fit. To help with the spacing issue, I turn the Y and Z stepper brackets around and bolt them to the underside of the plates. I arrived at the same idea of using two opposed lead screw nuts to preload and eliminate backlash. I probably won't build it because I have no self confidence.

I'm just working up to converting my Sherline mill over to CNC control. I can already program CNC mills, so that's no mystery, but retrofitting one with the motors, and then putting in the electronics and making the whole thing work is quite another matter. I spent approximately 13.72 milliseconds pondering how to go about it before I recalled: hey, Steve has probably already done it, so just do what he did! And here I am.

Apparently G-M codes can be loaded into it directly using a terminal program with CTS set. If that's the case, getting started should be very easy (famous last words). I'm not going to spring for ball screws, since they want twice the value of the basic mill for the conversion kit, so might have to invent something to reduce backlash to an absolute minimum.

I wouldn't use wood as a spacer for a precision result. Wood expands and shrinks under different humidity conditions. Not to mention wood under constant pressure from a tightened hold down bolt can become lose over time by the wood fibers collapsing/crushing. The motor cutout idea without the wooden spacers is much more elegant and solid. Curious as to the costs for this build.

Hello, your project is very successful. Congratulations. There is something I want to ask you. Wouldn't it be better if we use the fixed coupling instead of the flexible coupling you used for the Nema 17 motor connection? When we use the flexible coupling, there is a possibility of flexing a turn of seconds when the nema 17 motor generates power when trying to cut or drill. In such a case, it seems to me that there may be millimeter deviations in the workpiece we are working with.
@iforce2d

If you mean the linear rails, yes they would be much better if they were supported all the way along. When cutting hard materials like carbon fiber or aluminium this machine has to go veeeery slow. If you mean the spiral coupling connectors between the motor and the screws, I'm pretty sure they are designed specifically to not have that problem much. Certainly the flexing of the linear rails will be a bigger problem.

Use a powerful enough laser and sure you could use one. Hell in theory you could focus enough photons that the energy density would result in the formation of a black hole. Well, maybe. Might be a few properties of the physics not allowing a laser to still be a laser at the point where energy density begins to approach levels that could form a black hole. Probably be cutting whatever it is you wanted to cut before you punch a hole in space-time though. Anyway with a powerful enough laser you can cut anything.

@lazymouse636

My rails were 10mm for x and y and 12mm for the z-axis. I don't know the exact weight. Actually I think the weight isn't the biggest issue. The force that is needed to push the spindle thru the material you are cutting will be the biggest problem. The spindle will flex. As someone else suggested, use a (gt2?) belt and pulleys for the x and y. The leadscrews have backlash. On my first machine I also found that the nema-17 steppers weren't strong enough. They ran very hot. I had to run them slow not to loose steps. B.t.w, you don't need a grbl shield. I ran it with an arduino nano and put the nano + the stepper drivers on a prototype board to keep it small. If you already have everything to build it like you planned, I woukd still build it as a "learning" project. I threw everything in a corner and got sbr16 rails, backlash-free ballscrews and bigger nema-23 steppers.
