My new project is to use Screen printer Alum frames to build the table and gantry. Nice light material plus strong. I will be using thk linear slide with a belt drive. My hopes are to incorporate a laser to the design.
I found some on Ebay 40w with power source for 250.00 US free delivered from Laserland. Using the 23" x 31" alum frames Should give me the ability to have a 24" x 24" cut ability.
I do a Flea Market all summer and Have a large CNC Router I built from scratch. The Kids love to watch the router run. But I need to lighten up the design and try to increase speed less g force.
Combining a Laser and Router will be difficult but I believe achievable . My main concern is the en-closer cabinet for Protection of the router plus the laser beam.
Thanks Randy
