I**A-CNC Machine

A open source CNC-Router build arround a IKEA Torsby Table

Similar projects worth following
I'm building a CNC Router made out of some basic materials - it can be extended to mostly any existing table and is easy to build.

It needs some aluminium profiles ( 20x20mm and 30x30mm ) , bearings , spindle/holder, lead-screws, wood and printed parts.

It al started that i was not happy with the first commercial "diy"-CNC that i have purchased. The hole machine design was a big failure - but i learned a lot.

So i spend some days of thinking about a solution.
As i was tight on budget i had to find a cheap sollution. One moment i stumbled over my old Ikea Torsby table that was in my garage. And it turned out to be a perfect base for a new CNC-milling-machine. :)

So i started to build.

Of course the machine can be modified to fit a lot of other tables also.

As the project is already more advanced the below pictures are not always in chronological order.

I hope you like it and might find some inspirations for your own concepts.

Great work! Does using wood for the gantry sides cause any issues with flex? 

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hey Adam, thanks! Until now i have not noticed a "flexing" effect on the cuts i have done so far.On the backsite of the printed parts of the carriage i have added some inserts for screws to fix the alu bar's very good.

  Are you sure? yes | no
