![]() Since I first knew that I had to have a CNC router just a mere few weeks ago (Thanks CNC Zone) I have gobbled up as many different designs as I possibly could from here and elsewhere on the web. I also took note of the items that I have on hand and developed a design that I want to use for my initial setup. Basic control system is the user interface Manager combined with the control software WinCut. Supports the operator in developing and processing cutting plans. Cutty ist the most simple optimisation software of the SCM group and provides diefferent basis functions. Design has changed several times even after buying some of the materials that won't be needed now. Cutting plan optimisation software from SCM for optimizing panel cutting. I can see that it might pay to get the design down on paper first. Ergo the play on words with the name of this machine.Īnyway, the Cutty Shark I will mainly be for cutting polycarbonate and thin aluminum sheet. I have the basic frame parts already, so these dimensions are what I am hoping for. Here are a couple of images to get started with. Best selection of used stone machinery - bridge saws, cnc machining centers, edge & slab polishers and waterjet machines. ![]() ![]() Comments and suggestions are absolutely welcome and the sooner the better. It would actually be 10 bearings per side with this setup. I wanted to make each side of the gantry sorta stand alone on its own without falling off if the gantry weren't there. My thinking is that this may actually reduce any chance of racking. Therefore, I think the top three are a must for starters. All the parts are some nice steel that I had on hand. The end angle iron is 3" x 3" x 1/4" x 24 5/8". I was thinking because of this, there would be very little chance that the router would want to lift the gantry anyway, so I might get away with just some delrin. This could be mounted and adjusted a little easier than the bearings.
