Some take it from the computer PSU but a separate supply from Peter is cheap enough. Also note you will need a logic supply of 5v. Only recommendation, if your comfortable with them, is to leave out the limit switches and change to prox switches. Your list is quite well thought out and by the looks has been "adjusted" after some talk with Peter maybe? lol.

Nothing wrong with the G540 but for such a large machine it will be pushed to the limits and allows any upgrades later in stepper size if need be. Stick with the better drives, G203v if your not right up on your electronics or G201 if you know your stuff(if you want to save a few bucks).
Dual x axis with gecko g540 full#
This was great but i ended up being very tight to a full sheet due to the length of my rails (Got a good deal on a set of rails that someone had cut without thinking of the above so designed machine around them) and my z axis was wider than first thought, so its cramped the cutting size and although i have not often cut the full width of a sheet(sometimes requires size adjustment to shy of a full sheet), it does still bug me sometimes. I allowed 50mm on my machine for a large ogee bit which was to be used for a small project. The ~25mm, or 12.5mm both sides, should be substitued for the largest profiling bit you think you will use and also to act as an overshoot to make sure you can cut the entire sheet. you would need to make sure that the z axis you design/buy will be less than 155mm wide (Eq. Your consideration was for the table to be moveable, and by extending the table length well beyond the size you need just adds alot of extra costs for rails, rack, cables and so on because of the extended sizes, transport etc.Īlso note, that the inside width you mention is 1400mm. There are still lots of bits and pieces to be added to the frame anyway. Seems like it could work no worries but personally i would be looking at building from scratch. Sorry couldn't get better photos as table was completery covered with various bits and piecesĮDIT : actually displaying pictures rather than links. I guess with extra bars and legs it would cost me approx $300. So guys what do you think? worth getting it? He's asking for $200 which is a bargain (special friends rate.Įstimated steel cost would be about $500 hence that's why he has bought it to start with.īest part is that legs and beams can be taken apart allowing for transport. (thinking of adding additional pair of legs in the middle to prevent any flexing and extra bars joining two sides. I think this could actually work as an CNC table. the top was machined and looks pretty much flat. I beam are joined with adjustable bar allowing table to stretch / shrink as required (see photo two and three) giving max width of approx 1400mm internal One of the I beams has some plates welded on at the end (see photo one) which can be removed or I beams cut which will still give me more than 3 metres length The table in photos is actually two I beams (approx 70mm width x 120mm height ) sitting on two sets of legs (which are bolted) Plenty of information and it was great to see the CNC in action and from all the angles!!!! Thanks again!!!Īttachment 235306 Attachment 235308 Attachment 235309 Attachment 235307
