Re: Building a cnc router

I'm re-doing the electronics on an old Shop-Bot Alpha. I'll be using a DynoMotion K-FLOP board and a Hitachi VFD with a 2.2KW chinese water cooled spindle. The K-FLOP comes very highly recommended, but I haven't tried it out yet. In theory I'll have it done this summer, but I said that last summer.

www.cnczone.com is a great resource for this sort of project.

Re: Building a cnc router

We built a 4 x 8 router from cncrouterparts.com. Their kits are really good if you are looking at simply assembling a quality base. They have options of turn key kits or you can build the electronics from scratch as well.

They also have excellent customer service which was really helpful when we needed help troubleshooting. They are also located in Washington.

What size are you looking to build? How much money are you looking to spend? Our router was around $9,000.
