DIY 3 axis CNC router


My homemade 3 axis open table, moving gantry CNC made mostly in Baltic Birch. Slides are 24″, 24″, 12″; cutting area roughly 17″x17″x8″.

  • Computerbusters:

    Love the music!!! Not Kidding!!! Sound like Sims series!

  • supperstorm:

    I have a CNC motor controller 3 axis Toshiba TB6560AHQ and 3 BS57HB56-03 Stepper Motors but when I power up the systems after while my motors “gets hot” without using them (in non operational mode) is that any normal?

    Do you know if Mach3 v R1.83 can work with USB to Parallel port converting pluck? Because I have a laptop with no Parallel port so I bought a USB to Parallel port converting plucks “any suggestions welcome”

    Thanks

  • jmgully12:

    REally awesome but were you high when you made this and like playing with the sounds on garageband?

  • Felceaz:

    cool video but music

  • THEtechknight:

    most annoying song ever….

  • mattbliese:

    Yes, I would have preferred a narrative about why you made the choices you did with your machine instead of the music.

  • scottamata:

    amazing! one day ill have built my own fablab!

  • lenne0815:

    Hey nice setup, seems to be a bit overcomplicated though, have a look at my chan, i build one aswell !

  • Capitancalamaro88:

    annoying music, anyway GREAT JOB dude

  • coolboarder44:

    How the heck do you mute the sound ;) Haha, yeah the ‘noise’ was terrible, but the project is awesome!

  • ebutu007:

    most annoying song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    cool thing 5 stars – but -10stars for song = 1 star.

  • c0ldelement:

    could of chose a less annoying song ….

  • kirrok:

    beautiful piece, and yes i too must comment on the music as it was giving me seizures.

  • Smartass365:

    What are you using for the stepper drivers? No breakout board?

  • ZipSnipe:

    No doubt dude, great looking machine and I rarely ever compliment a builder using wood for a cnc frame, but your design is brilliant. Put some wheels on it and grab a laptop and u got one heck of a portable cnc machine.

    Good work !!!!!!

  • AudioRuso:

    That is one great looking machine… but it is ruined by by the leadscrew wobble you got going…. just get a set of damn step up adapter! (what do the neighbors think about you running it outside? :-D

  • GoToTabCollection:

    funny music.. lol..

  • stegtenudlar:

    Really nice machine!

    But the music SUCKS!! :-)

  • Gallaway400:

    More like a work of art….

  • zws1922:

    beautiful work. i’m finishing my 2 axis machine, wich is more of a demo for a diploma project. however, if it behaves decent, i’ll add one more axis.
    again, excelent work

    thanks for the feedback DavidCousins. This was my 1st real taste in CNC, already bought an 8 start 1/2″ acme for my next machine and about to order new Dumpster nuts. Will most likely look into better stepper/thread connections. I’m planning on starting the build in September.
