Tabletop Extrusion CNC Router Build - Part 1

Building a table top cnc router using extruded aluminium with only basic tools at hand.
Waiting on parts from China to complete the rest of the machine so part 2 may be a little time away.
Will release some sketchup plans once the machine it complete.

Damn! If my wife sees this, she will realize that I don't need to buy any more tools to build something like this!! Seriously tho' that is brilliant; I can't wait for the next part. Thank you so much. Liked & subscribed.

this is fantastic, I doubt you did it on purpose or maybe you did but it was exactly what i was looking for seeing how you cut the parts out of stock aluminum with tools I actually have instead of having them cnc'd

[@hukcoi]

such a fantastic video build, just shows what can be achieved with basic tools and a good engineering mind. Looking forward to the rest of the build.

This machine is awesome! I wish someone would sell a bare bones kit like this. Nice work.

[@cncnoob6124]

Can't wait for part 2 and also the build plan..

[@Liberty4Ever]

Very nice! I wasn't sure why you needed to use the fabricated steel plates instead of using off-the-shelf brackets other than maybe trading labor for cost (those brackets really add up!) but that thing looks very heavy duty. I have a similar size CNC router built from a kit and I'm finishing up the electrical panel soon with a very similar job in mind cutting mostly plastic and maybe some aluminum. Great job!

[@hotfuzz1913]

that is really impressive work for simple power tools awesome job sir

[@fahad.saeed29]

Sir what’s the size n dimensions of aluminum t-slot you are using to hold the router to. Awaiting for ur reply

[@bobcatt2294]

May I ask if you can list some of the various tools you are utilizing? For instance:

[@saivenkatadurgapolavarapu4441]

What's the electronic devices used in this

[@JoseLima-fn2vn]

It's easy for you, you have plenty of resources, now for me, I have little recourse.

[@1990notch]

You did a very nice job considering you didn't use a mill to square off parts, etc.

[@hertelden3434]

Everthing is good. But where is cnc program for computer?

[@theeminitrader]

CT, wow you're so ingenious in your fabrication, I envy you. Now I thought you already had a router table( the blue one) so why this one? any particular need that it will fulfill? it's cut for sure. looking for part 2!

[@Tchefter]

Great Job so far! looking forward!

[@mrmakinist]

yes bady you real youtuber

[@jbrito2699]

amazing, i going waiting for the plans

[@latengocomoburro]

I have been looking to build my own CNC Router and I like your design. Do do have the plans to build this and also where did you get the parts from?

[@1metiz]

What kind of rails did you use for the x and y axis motion? It's hard to find a Dutch equivalent if I don't know what they're called exactly

[@billyraibourn758]

Hi CT. Can you please tell me the size of the extruded aluminium you are using?
