Description: |
The long promised pictures of our homebuilt tool: a xyz table. Built from the pictures from this site: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gloomy-place/cnc.htm Basic incredients: some wood, three M8 threaded rods, some M8 nuts, six ball-bearing type drawer-rails. Stephen built this machine totally by himself, however its not quite simple to get it so it'll be exact. Also note that the wood was hand-sawed, no power tools. Only a standard drill for the wholes and screws. The Z-axis (vertical) had been removed in this pic to allow us to use it as a drill press for PCBs. Thats why there are some rubber bands are holding the Z-axis up. |
