This sale is for a home built CNC router (router not
included) it includes the x,y,z axis
as well as the motor controller unit. Also included is a Dell PC base unit
which has Mach3 installed on it (the monitor is not included as needed for
another pc)
I have included images and a short video, note that the
video is jumpy – this is because of the following
· 1 One of the y-timing belts is broken and I would recommend
the purchaser replace both, they are not expensive (I think a few pound from
places like ooznest.co.uk). The broken belt can clearly be seen on the video
and one of the images
· 2 I was not running a program on Mach 3 but using
the jogging keys to move manually and due to the broken belt one side judders a
bit
· 3 The software needs to be calibrated to the axis
a thing not possible until the belt is sorted.
The VIDEO is only included to demonstrate that the motors all
work under control of the software, I know it looks funny when it hops
off at the end thats due to the need to replace the belt (mentioned above)
Please do not make disparaging comments about the juddering
it only demonstrates a lack of knowledge in how the software operates.
I am also loading a directory on the PC with files to
recover the installation as well as plans for different types of CNC machine –
so you could take the parts from this one and build your own to your needs.
If you start with this one I would suggest a small
improvement – replace the base board for 18mm Plywood which would provide
additional stability and strength and also allow for greater accuracy of movement.
Please note that this is a development project – as you
can see all the parts are there but you will have to carry it on, unfortunately
I moved on to other things and did not have the time to complete
The working area is about 40cm IN THE 'X' direction and
approximately 28 in the 'Y' direction although this could be increased if you
replace the base board and increase its size
Thanks for looking This is a collection in person sale with
CASH on collection only (no bank transfers)
