Re: Are you kidding me?
I haven't built it yet, it's still in the plottin-n-conivin stage. But when I do build the cutter, it will be on the smallish side. 2'x2', maybe 2'x4' working surface at the most. 2'x4' is same footprint as the CNC router I'm building. Most of the stuff I work on is small, that or I can work on it in chunks.
My current hair-brained idea is to be able to use the same CNC controller for both, one at a time not both at once. I realize that this may be more of a brain-fart than a brilliant idea, we'll see.
As far as taking up a lot of room, leaving it set up would take room. If you didn't use a water pan and used an extraction fan under the cutting area, you MIGHT be able to make a folding set-up. I seem to remember a video of somebody building a folding CNC router, maybe on the MPCNC gallery?
