Chuck, It looks like the conduit covered linear bearings are shorter in some photos than others. Is it that they are different for X and Y? How much travel will you have left after allowing for the bearing lengths? I'm liking this build and your nut and bearing methods. |

Hi Chuck; I'll be following this one! I've been looking at these desktop routers thinking it would be a cheap, simple way to getting into CNC. I considered building either the MYDIYCNC Sprite or the Shapeco (rather than buying a kit, just make something similar myself); http://www.mydiycnc.com/content/new-sprite-desktop-cnc-machine-turnkey-system http://www.mydiycnc.com/sites/default/files/MyDIYCNC%20Desktop%20CNC%20Machine%20Kit%20Assembly%20Instructions.pdf http://docs.shapeoko.com/ After pricing materials, I concluded that maybe the money was better spent on materials to convert my X2 mill to CNC. I'd be interested in your comments/findings on each path - before I go and do something stupid ! Good luck with the project. Cheers Garry |
