GotAU? 105 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (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 by GotAU?
