This video is part 1 in a 4 part series on building a new CNC Router. This video covers the design and components that I have decided on using.

Link to the playlist with the rest of the build videos:

This has been a massive project for me, I started it over a year ago and it has taken the whole of lock down to get to this point. I hope you enjoy it!

Loads of people have asked for the CAD files. I was planning on releasing the finished CAD with the last video as I am regularly updating it as I make changes to the design but since so many people are asking here is a link to the unfinished CAD:

The design is not finished yet, still lots to add, and I’m not sure if the link will update as I update the design, but a final version will be included in the last video.

  1. pros:
    compact design
    beefy spindle easily cuts steel

    cons:
    Low rigidity on x axis (ballscrew on opposite side of the load)
    Low rigidity on y axis (the plate sticking down will flex under lateral force)
    Low speed for its size (small lead drivescrew)
    Frame steel parts have very high margin of error so precision is random

    If you use a dial indicator to measure deflection under load (500 mili Newtons or less) I guarantee you will redesign the whole thing

  2. Hello bro mad project, I have a question I know how to work with fusion 360 but I wanted to ask you how I do a project where you can move things like yours? I am building plasma cnc thank you very much

  3. Love the video, but your stacked up aluminum extrusions kill me. Tube is SOOOOOO much more stiff in torsion. That's probably your floppiest part, closely followed by the connection down to your longest rails.

  4. You took the effort in making the distance of the spindle from the x gantry as short as possible. I'm thinking why not put the linear rails on the x gantry on top and/or below the X gantry instead of them being on the side? That way you would potentially reduce the distance further about one linear rail and block height. Or are there some forces in play that require the x gantry linear rails to be mounted this way specifically?

  5. Nice job — I'm starting a similar design myself, hence watching what others have tried. My only comment is that the brackets that connect your ballscrew nuts to the travelling uprights seem a bit small — the stiffness and strength of the Y-axis will depend on those. It'll be interesting to see how that works out.

    "Obviously the Chinese import rails and ball screws are gonna be very inferior"

    This shit still winds me up.

    – Chinese company makes cheap inferior product to appeal to those who can't afford expensive, highly processed products
    – Westerner buys cheap product from China because nowhere in the West makes anything similar, at such good value.
    – Westerner constantly complains about how "Chinese products are inferior"

    You paid less, for something that IS less. And you then equate that to meaning Chinese products are crap? Stop being a cheapskate then and buy a better product.

    If everyone in the world only bought expensive, hand-maid products, then I guarantee Chinese producers would tool up quick and start producing things we can't afford, but are left in awe at.

    Stop equating your cheap choices; to being indicative of all that China can produce.

    THAT being said, the video is fantastic and your design is incredible. Thank you! 😐

  8. Great as always! Im also building a 1,6×1,8m, a bit different from your since i make the whole frame from Aluminum except the legs.
    May I ask which vendor did you get the extrusion from? I plan to order it from China but afraid it would not be so rigid.

    Great drawings by the way

  9. I am so happy I've found this. Planning on building a cnc for under 1k, and I've just got to 4:26 and saw that you've built this for my budget, so I'm definetely gonna take inspiration from these.

  10. seems similar to what im looking at doing shortly, building a cnc just is so much cheaper than buying one, yes it may not be as strong but you can upgrade over time rather than dumping 5-10k down the drain, I simply dont have that kinda money laying around so build it it is

  11. Loads of people have asked for the CAD files. I was planning on releasing the finished CAD with the last video as I am regularly updating it as I make changes to the design but since so many people are asking here is a link to the unfinished CAD:

  12. I agree with you. The X-Carve is agreat machine to learn about CNC. The instructions are thorough and you can watch the videos to put it together. I bought some parts and made it do what I wanted it to do. now I want to built a nema 34 version. great videos.
