CNC Router Build #1 - Components

Part 1 in a series on building a CNC router.
This episode covers the components which will be used and a brief overview of how they will work.

Thanks for making such a detailed video and explaining every part. Most videos gloss over them. Very appreciated. Looking forward to viewing the rest of the series.

Sir, hands down the best explication of a CNC table I have seen. So looking forword to your channel.

[madbstard]

Now this is what I call a kit build video :) Can't wait to see the rest of it. Best of luck with the work John.

[UberAlphaSirus]

This is going to be a great series. I can't wait.

[Bob_Burton]

I am looking forward to seeing this built.

It looks like it is going to be a monster.

[miller]

Interesting project, will watch out for the next episodes!

[harryharrison]

Interesting.
It looks good, I will be watching how this develops. Thumbs up!

[davidbean]

Great project John, looking forward to all future episodes!

[JIMMY]

Thank you very much for this walk through. It gave me a fair idea of what i need for my build. I will be fabricating the frame and gantry myself since i am a welder by trade.

I am glad I came across your vid, I am a recently retired electrical engineer with a passion for 3DP and CNC, I have been watching MyRobertadams who has a similar machine but US, I have been sourcing the metal parts here in UK but the cost especially machining is very expensive, the kit you feature is exactly what I want thanks I will make enquiries at the link you mentioned, looking forward to joining you on your journey, many thanks.

Exciting stuff! Looking forward to the rest of this build, John.

I'm a machinist and very interested in your project. It sure looks heavy duty compared to other similar devices I have looked at. Do you have an estimate of the bottom line cost, not counting your labor of course.

[BenjaminGoose]

I'm betting this will attract a whole new audience to your channel. :)

[milesbancroft]

Very interesting. Have you designed this yourself or are you using something pre-existing?

[GadgetAddict]

I wasn't expecting to see such a large machine. Is this for your own use? It's gonna be quite a beast!

[technic]

I find CW swa glands with the olive very effective for terminating braided cables. I pass the braid through then back over the olive a smidge and it tightens up lovely, with the added advantage of the compression fitting, assuming the cable is large enough in diameter to accommodate the gland.

[AlexHitchins]

Will you try any PCB work with this? Be interested to see the results and the BOM for making one.

I'd love to see a parts list if you have the time. Particularly where you got that base from. It looks very well made.

[kathyquinlan]

I am very envious ;) What is your intended use for the CNC ? I see you have rolls of cable markers ;) I like (I personally use the Legrand Memo Cab system as it was what the ship yard used where I worked, everywhere I have worked since I have converted ;)

I look forward to seeing the build :)

I'm looking forward to the software part of the project.
