Folks loved the first DIY CNC Machine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKmzlMvxC7I) – now let’s build one bigger and better!

Industry grade linear rails combined with a ground ball screw and a TinyG controlled should give us a more rigid and precise machine!

We’re going to use two pneumatic cylinders and a pneumatic engraving pen to see if we can use this machine to offload some of our engraving requirements from our Tormach PCNC 1100!

In Part 1, we set up the Arduino & GRBL shield. Now, let’s use inexpensive linear motion hardware (links below!) to assemble the bearings, rods and steppers into a functional CNC machine!

In this video, we look at the CAD model of the machine, discuss basic design philosophy, test it’s accuracy (amazing results!), then do the final GRBL set up so that we can export CAM G-Code to use on the machine!

We just added a Part 3 with a Z-axis upgrade! Check it out at https://youtu.be/gzLYNSQEPDk
