Hi guys, in the process of designing my own CNC machine using openbuilds solid v-wheels,2040, 17mm form ply, 3mm and 6mm aluminium plate. I'll post some pictures soon. Keen to know what sort of Z travel you guys are building to? Currently working on 75mm travel...... Will it be enough? only really planning on cutting ply and comp panel. Die grinder vs edge trimmer for a spindle? What sort of load will a nema 17 handle using the ACME 8mm setup on the Z axis? Panning on running it with a Gecko 540. What sort of radial and axial loads can the solid v-wheels take?
