Excellent work ! Your presentation AND the narration is clear, concise and well ordered (organized) ! Thanks ! While I certainly don't have the money right now for a CNC machine (altho I'd LOVE one ! ) THIS could get me WAY down the road with some things I've been wanting to try. All the BEST to you and YOURS, from Texas ! - C.
This is a really nice build man. I bought so much stuff to build my own home made CNC machine but they're a bloody nightmare to get everything correct. This is something I could do and make it big anough to be able to do cabinet doors, drawer fronts with nice designs but also if u could mount it differently or also build a table under it where u could stand pieces to vcut mortises nad tenon joints into wood, u know what i mean? this would be a brilliant addition to anybody's workshop plus it doesn't take up the room a CNC takes up. I wasted so much money buying all those parts and I find ur video now. I have a tonne of CNC motors & drivers ,etc. That 2020 aluminium will be handy to build this with though. I have a couple of power supply units which will come in handy for things. This is a really clever build pal. I love it. U have reinvigorated me to get into the shop and change things bcos I had become disillusioned with all this CNC crap. It was a lotta money and I got sick of it. This is a brilliant build and I can build this without worrying about electronics now..
Built a similar pantograph years ago to rout lettering for wooden signs. Used large (14") patterns of each letter so the 2 to 1 reduction of the machine hid the slight imperfections of the patterns. The measurements aren't as important as the accuracy of the holes drilled. You can make it any size with only limits being size you want your end product. And it can be used to enlarge or reduce pattern by locating router at different points.
Awesome project my friend. Copying hole positions or straight lines directly from a technical drawing (no 3D model needed) can also be done on a milling machine with the Caliper2PC's pantograph feature.
Another cool machine sir! As for WD40, we still have it in California haha. Because of the insane laws on chemicals though, a lot of companies have to either a)change their formulas or b)put special warnings on their packages. My guess is that the can you had just wasn't labeled properly for California. Sucks sometimes - especially with finishes and solvents. The California versions of paints and finishes can sometimes suck quite a bit compared to the normal product.
Right on. I'm impressed with how smoothly it moves with no wobble. Are you using nylon washers or bearings at the joints or just metal on metal? Thanks for the video👍
Excellent! With the router in the alternate position I could use half scale 3D printed templates, but I guess that configuration would have half the mechanical advantage and an inconvenient stylus placement.
Manual CNC without the g-code, very nice, well done. The templates are limited by your imagination. I guess you could use this vertically for mortises and tenons, right? I was looking for a Pantorouter and they cost around $2000 but this design is I think affordable for a hobbyist like me. Thanks for the video.
nice idea The secret to getting the proper scale is one side of the rectangle is 1/2 the length of the other side?.i try many time but scale not same pleas help me gide cercal and router cercal not same
So if I understand correctly and I think I do. The secret to getting the proper scale is one side of the rectangle is 1/2 the length of the other side?
your comment for WD-40 not for sale in Calif. The issue is the PROPELLANT not the WD-40 (EPA issues) I guess they use Nitrogen here. or some other inert gas
Bro can you send me measurements for this set up and what is the size of that hollow rectangular bar, I am doing this as my mini project in my college ,pls send me the details
