The machine was carefully engineered to maximize performance and minimize cost to build, with low maintenance and high reliability. The frame components are constructed from hardwood Baltic birch plywood using a torsion box design. The torsion boxes create a very stiff structure that is very good at resisting twist and deflection during machining operations.<\/p>\n<p>You will get incredible performance for the cost. As a comparison, to buy a commercially available machine of similar capability would cost anywhere from $6000 to $10000. Note that many advertised prices for kits and machines do not include electronics, or other required components.<\/p>\n<p>Machine Specifications:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>37&#8243; x 24.6&#8243; x 6&#8243; working area<\/li>\n<li>53&#8243; x 44.5&#8243; x 28&#8243; overall size<\/li>\n<li>HIWIN Linear Guideways<\/li>\n<li>C7 Ball Screws<\/li>\n<li>Gecko G540 Driver or Leadshine drivers<\/li>\n<li>(4) NEMA 23 Stepper Motors, two on the long axis<\/li>\n<li>Capable of machining wood, aluminum, foam, plastics, composites, more<\/li>\n<li>Runs a common woodworking router, a spindle\/VFD, a laser, or drag knife<\/li>\n<li>&gt;1000 inches per minute (ipm) rapid speeds<\/li>\n<li>&gt;300 ipm feed speeds<\/li>\n<li>Run with open source (free) Linux CNC software, or your favorite control software<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Build your own high performance CNC router from this kit by following the included set of plans.
