[BLOG] DIY Hardware Store CNC Router w/pictures
Part 2
To make my life easier, and to keep prices down, I’ll be using 1/4th sized bolts and nuts of varying lengths. Almost all the holes on the table are 3/8th an inch from the edge. The big exceptions are the 4X1/4 pieces or aluminum bar that make up the table top. Their holes are towards the center and are 3/8th from the edge of the supporting angle aluminum underneath. I’ll also be using 8mm sized bolts for my bearings.
You may notice I have the angle for the rollers but not any bearings in these pictures. I’m still working on them. When I post up my gantry I’ll put a few pictures of the bearings and their placement.
At the bare minimum I’ll be ordering the parts for what you see next Friday. I’m dying to get started. Updates will be on their way.
