Zen toolworks cnc carving machine diy kit 12X12
NOT INCLUDED: This is just the CNC machine with motors. You will need a 3 Axis Stepper Motor Driver to manage each motor, a spindle/cutter(a Dremel would work) and a DC power supply for the driver. You will also need a computer with a standard printer port and CNC software. You will also need a way to mount and secure the spindle tightly to the Z-axis plage on the machine.
We offer a Spindle Kit complete with a mounting frame for this machine. We also offer a 3 Axis Stepper Motor Driver that we use with our CNC system. Please check out other items in our store.
This is a DIY kit of a CNC carving machine, including all components needed to build the machine itself. Also, it is not a finished product, you have to assemble it. With this kit, you can build your very own CNC carving machine to do relief carving, letter cutting, inlay and all other interesting features to enhance your woodworking, PCB or other projects.
The body of the machine is constructed with high density PVC boards. Steel guid rod, linear bearing and stainless steel lead screws are used to construct the moving parts. The anti-backlash brass nut design will virtually eliminate all backlashes. New Nema 23 motors(2 phases, 1.3A, 3.6V, 6 leads) for all three axis are also included. The install is very easy, if you have a bench vise and a power screw driver, that will really help. Install instruction CD is included in the package. Assembling the CNC is very fun and only takes around 3-4 hours to complete. You will be amazed by what can be achieved by this machine. Finally, you can build and own your very own CNC machine for a price that's within your budget!
When you purchase, you will be invited to join our member-only discussion forum. This is a good place to get support and learn from other CNC users and share your own knowledge.
