I built this CNC about 3-4 years ago and sadly its been sat unused for some time and I've come to the decision to sell it rather than it collect dust as I don't have a use for it in my life anymore.
I bought the frame from the guys at ukcnc.net and then purchased over kill electronics (as you do) from cnc4you. Then designed and built a custom enclosure to house it all in from high density speaker spec MDF (its very quiet when enclosed)
I built it to make ally cnc parts and had intentions of running parts in my spare time to make a bit of side money but however life got in the way and work became busier.
The Specs of the CNC are below:
CNC.net Mini muscle frame (£1000)
2.2kw Water cooled spindle with VFD inverter and water pump and tank
UC300 Motion controller (works from usb)
4Nm digital stepper motors with driver (45V) - comes with a spare 4th stepper motor and driver for 4th axis or bigger frame
(items above cost just over £1000)
Licence of Mach3 (£110)
Fogbuster - best clip clearance and prolongs tool life (£350)
Custom built illuminated sound proofed enclosure (£150)
The CNC is setup to cut anything up to soft metals, IE copper and Ally, its not suitable for cutting steel you would need something beefy like a bridgeport for that.
It will also come with a huge selection of various collets for the spindle as well as a good selection of cutters and tooling as well as materials ready to be cut. (pics of these items to follow)
The CNC cost over £2500 to build, Looking at offers close to £1500, I'm in no huge rush to sell but thought id offer it here first before going down the other routes as this kind of setup is ideal for RC stuff. Its a versatile setup and could even be fitted out with a laser if that's what you wanted to do.
Please note this is not cheep rubbish you buy on ebay and all the parts have been sourced from the UK and from companies that specialise in CNC. The parts have been spec'd so that the electrics would easily run a much bigger rig ( as I wanted to have the flexibility to expand the frame without having to buy 2 sets of expensive electronics.
