Hi there,

So, the time has come to present you my CNC machine.
Look scary at a first look, but this is really easy to build if you take care of what you are doing !
The machine is fully built using hollow steel bars (God, that's heavy !), and use a belt system for the driving. Precise to 0.01mm in theory !
Speed ? well, I can cut up to 50mm/s (can do more, but the stepper motors are not following !), but in practice, I cut balsa (any thickness) at 30mm/s and plywood at 10mm/s. You can't go back to the old fashion way after that ! :rolleyes:

And if you have any questions, don't hesitate ! :)
