X, Y & Z Runners


This is the first photo I have taken, should have gotten onto it earlier... anyway!

This is my first CNC machine, so I am going to not take it to seriously and try to work out some good ideas for the next incarnation, and will try to find out what does and doesn't work!


I have used ball bearing drawer slides for the linear motion conveyors, they seem to have very little play in them and are pretty darn smooth!

So I have a moving X tray type of setup here, with a fixed gantry X/Y rig

I am TRYING threaded rods as a drive shaft, with secured nuts to move the stages,
I and imagining they may be way to slow, but I am going to give it a try for now!

Skateboard bearings for the drive shafts
