I understand that some forum members may look at the homebuilt machines shown and think "all metal work", "fully equipped machine shop needed", "not my thing"
Here are a couple of pics to show what is possible to build with not much more than wood working tools.
Primarily MDF and some HDPE and able to produce some remarkably good work.
This machine is called the Joe2006. Plans are freely available.
Blokes in sheds all over the world have built this very machine. At least one in Brisbane and one in Sydney that I know of.
Pipe and "skate" bearings for linear rails. All thread for linear motion.
This is not my router, I have that machine shop. :U
The example in the pics was built by a CNCzone member called Ccsparky
Link to his build log http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27548
And the video is of another builders effort cutting a job.
