Hi All,

CNC ready Linear Slide made of Steel & HDPE


We have been building more and more with HDPE rather than MDF because it is a far superior product to use than a wood based material. These slides are shown with the 1/2-10 acme lead screw upgrade. These units are very strong and dense and will make a great addition to your CNC Router or Milling Machine.

Modular CNC Mini Lathe

Hi All,

Here is a free set of plans for a Mini CNC Chucking Lathe. It will have to use a thrid party spindle like a Taig or Sherline Spindle but this machine would be easy and cheap to get started. Let me know what you think.

More Info about Plan #MCT-08001

Hi All,

I have found out a cool way to embed PDF files right to my blog. I think this is a great way to share my ideas and plans.

As you can see I did not include alot of details on hole sizes and locations. These can vary based on your screws you have available for this design. The main point to get across on this design is that it is very simple and uses your standard L-gib design. I also take advantage of standard cold rolled steel 1018 stock sizes to cut down on custom machining time. Also notice that I repeat the same parts where ever I can for simplicity. Let me know what you think.

CNC Machine Plan #MCT-09001


Hi All,

Here is another design that I have worked on but haven't built yet. I built a custom large machine like this a while back with the customer doing the finishing touches on the machine. I haven't heard back if he got a chance to power it up and run.

This one is a moving gantry with super large 1" diameter rails and bearings on the X-Axis.

Thanks,

More Free Plan Information


Hi All,

I have been looking for a nice file sharing program that isn't too weird or wacky. I found one with Adobe and its free. It provides a place for me to upload the drawing files to so that when people request the free file they will have access to it to download. I am also looking at free FTP sites as well. I keep doing my homework on this and start sharing files soon.

Thanks,

Andy

CNC Mill Plan #MCT-08001



Hi All,

I have been designing machinery for over 12 years. I currently have another website and blog.

As a designer and builder of machinery I come up with a lot of new and different ideas and designs. I have come to the conclusion that I can't build all of these myself. I think these designs will be useful to others that are thinking about designing and building their own machines. Please stay tuned for future documentation.
