GotAU? Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Ive been wanting to CAD design and make some cabinetry and pull out shelves for the back of my truck, some wood signs, maybe a kayak and some other fun stuff with a CNC router, but the sizable ones for doing larger projects cost thousands, or so I thought. I found this lower cost 8” x 4” sized CNC router kit called a Maslow CNC and just finished building it: https://makermade.com/product/malsow-jump-start-bundle-kit-sled-router-bit/ It uses two servo motors to pull the router around on the base board with chain, and it’s really precise. There’s even a Z-Axis motor for automatic depth control on the router. I will be putting it to lots of uses soon... uh- yes dear, after I finish those windows and paneling in my new worksho... er, I mean storage shed for your boxes! The router sled with the two servo driven chains that pull it into position on the easel. The router has a depth adjusting servo on it too. this is the brains for the motors- a Arduino driver board (green light) that runs from a small computer mounted to the back of the router easel.

I recently completed building it and so far I was using it on a basic student designed project with my 6th grade technology students who are currently just learning to use a CAD program: Edited February 21, 2021 by GotAU?

GotAU? Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Oh yeah, for those of you who do metal fab, there’s options for a aluminum metal cutting modification and some even put a laser engraver and even a plasma cutter on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
