Or maybe yesterday..... it's gone midnight.
I've built a CNC Engraving Machine to engrave / machine brass, aluminium, pewter, bronze.
Might even do steel!
It's took 18 months, many hours on Youtube, and a few blow ups, ball bearing all over the desk, one item ordered from China that went missing......I think I know where it ended up, took 2 months for a replacement. Thank god for Banggood.
Research was required in cnc software, electronics, stepper motors, MS Windows, electrical interference.Spent 6 months up a cnc software dead end........That will be Arduino....
My machining foot print is 140 x 70 mm. They have a CNC machine down at Airbus Broughton that are two cricket fields long for the wings. Same stuff, just a matter of scale.
Currently machining air. Machine runs but following code above table.
Machining software still a learning curve.Next lesson is turning photo's into 3D machine code to machine. Three quarters way there........
The Goal
