The plans are ok but really could use cut patterns with drill locations and a list of the actual parts you purchased(detailed) had to hunt and search through the plans just to kinda find sizes...
Can you please specify the parts needed for purchase? I would like to buy your plans and build the CNC, but it's a lot of money to invest if the parts don't match. I'm thinking the sizes of the linear rails and ball screws needed. There are 15 different sizes of linear rail slides to choose from and 22 different sizes of ball screws.
taumus1 the plans do tell you the sizes you need and where they go. Only difficult thing is since I’m in the US we don’t really sell plywood at 15mm. Since that equals .59” our layout will be a bit off
Having reviewed a lot of professional and DIY CNC router designs over the past 3 years, I find this one to be excelent! It cleverly keeps the amount of parts low and the manufacturing and assembly quite easy. This is probably the best wooden CNC router for the buck. I watched this nice video several times as an inspiration for my own designs.
Roman, I hope to see more from you soon. I have watched numerous videos on diy cnc's and these two videos are far and away the best I have seen. Additionally, you are a gifted teacher. I'm a life long woodworker and never thought I could build a cnc....I'm a bit old school. After digesting these two videos, I have all materials on hand and ready to begin my build.....that's a big step for me. Thank you for sharing your gifts of design, creativity and obvious desire for excellence. Wish me luck!
Did you get your CNC built? I too am getting parts together to build this CNC. This is not the first CNC I have built. I built a Joe's 4x4 CNC back in 2011. I am building this one a little bigger. I am using 1000mm linear rails for the X and Y. Z was kept the same.
@@billmeade8092 Hi Bill, Man, this is weird....the cnc has been on hold. I was just now thinking of getting it started about 5 min ago and this notification popped up. Additionally, I was considering Bob's cnc too....more strangeness in 2022!
@@tonyvinesmusic If you go with the Bob's CNC check out Garrett Fromme's UA-cam Channel. It is CNC Routers, Beginners & Beyond. He is using a Long Mill CNC now but he started out with a Bob's CNC and has many videos on it.
Also, more importantly than my other comment, thanks for thisreally well presented video. I love how you showed the machine first, explained how it works, what makes it work, then showed some of the assembly process last - including great commentary throughout. There are too many how-to or build-vids where they show ever single step of construction, don't explain any interesting concepts, and you don't even know what they'd building until then end! This vid is the way to do it.
Dude! Great little machine! I see a lot of CNC builds on UA-cam that are scrappy, not thought through, or just not polished. Yours is none of that. Great machine, great video. Subbed!
You inspired me. I'm in the process of building it right now. I upsized it a little. The size is 1100mm (X), 1120mm (Y), and 500mm (Z). The kit included the 20mm guide rails and the HGH20CA glides including 2 Y-axis ball screws and rails. I also upsized the motors to 1.9nm (269oz in). I do have the Makita router in your video but I upsized that to the Bosch 1617 2.25 hp. My only concern is whether the 1.9nm motor for the Z-axis can lift the 6lb Bosch router without stalling. I also will be installing an emergency 'OFF' pushbutton and I will be mounting the Ardiuno USB connector on the front, not the rear. I have all the parts cut out and have started assembly. Wish me luck.

Did you document your build anywhere? I too am starting this build. I purchased 1000mm linear rails and 950mm ball screws for the X and Y axis. Kept the Z the same.
I'm also doing a DIY Frankenrouter out of an old IKEA bunk bed frame, some drawer glides and junk in my backyard. Thanks for making me feel totally inadequate.
I really like your elegant design. Would prefer oak for accuracy though, instead of beech. Beech might be a pleasure to work with and finish, but even quartersawn it just begs to warp like a rainbow under the first hint of humidity stress it encounters.
You say that there is a complete parts list but all you have are you affiliate links. You dont have a list of dimensions, lengths, etc. I would like to attempt you build at my shop and would happily use your affiliate links if I could get a more complete parts list with specific lengths and dimensions that you are using in the video. I would love to see more videos of this router in action. Keep it up.
@BooTec @10:25 the linear rails are mounted to the side to which the gantry is connected. Isn't that putting too much weight on the rails and the screw? Instead, shouldn't the rails have been mounted on the top face of the wood?
An elegant design, beautifully realised. I'm looking forward to more videos! The only concern I have is whether or not the gantry provides enough rigidity in the x direction? Still, even if it doesn't, I doubt there would be much difficulty in designing and adding a couple of pieces of plywood to cross-brace the gantry sides the same as you have done elsewhere. Thanks for sharing
Putting electronic under waste board ,is it the good idea?that ofcourse can make our cnc machine more portable but can't it cause some problems?thank you so much for your inspiring cnc video
Just bought the plans... The file was 0kb. Edit: he fixed this issue within 6 hours, plans are great, well worth the 6 bux. I appreciate the effort to put them out there :)
I finish building this CNC a while ago, and will have to post a video of it running. I built mine out of 1/2" Baltic Birch, and doubled all the layers to 1 inch. By putting the natural stress of the plywood against each other and clamping to an absolutely flat worksurface I got pretty straight pieces. I really doubt a single piece of 5/8 plywood would be absolutely flat and straight, and would end up binding in Romans design. It's critical if you want your CNC to be super accurate that the parts themselves need to be machine precisely, and everything needs to be flat and true and square. This will test your woodworking abilities, and you better have good machinery that is all trued up before you start. I actually cut a number of the parts out on a CNC to ensure accurate alignment. In short this machine is only going to be a strong as the weakest link. It took a long time to get adjusted and ended up having to enlarge a few holes for mounting to give myself a tiny bit of wiggle room. If things don't align precisely the machine will bind. I also doubled up the linear rails for the y-axis. I don't know why Roman designed the y-axis with only one linear rail, when everything else had two. If I was to do over again I would probably go to the next size linear rails. These are a bit undersized in this design and used more on 3-D printers than CNC's. With the 1 inch members that I used, and Baltic Birch plywood, my machine is quite rigid. I think it would be capable of milling aluminum with lightweight passes. Again, I would double up the thickness on everything, and use two linear rails on the y-axis. I bought my controller "blackbox" from open builds, along with some limit switches. Way easier to wire. The only thing you need is a 24 V power supply, and you're off to the races. OpenBuilds also makes a controller so you can operate the CNC without a computer. I have not purchased yet, but I like the idea of being able to just run things off of a USB drive and not having to worry about my laptop running out of batteries or the fan clogging up from sawdust. As colder temperatures set in I'll shoot a video and post a link of my build. Roman has a good design, but it can use refinement. And his plans are fairly detailed, but you do need to do some figuring on your own. The manufacturer of the linear rail gives you detailed specs, so not too hard to figure out hole placement. Same thing applies for the ballscrews. Those things are extremely beefy btw. Again, going to the next size up for linear rails I think would be a nice upgrade, and would give the machine some greater rigidity. Good luck to all who try this build.
Looking forward to seeing your video. Please post where to watch it when done. I to am building the CNC. I enlarged it a little to have 1000mm rails on both the X and Y axis. I wish I would have seen your post before I ordered parts but will have to go with the 12mm linear rails for now. I like ball screw size but may go with 20mm solid round linear rails. Let me know how the BlackBox controller works out. I already have the GRBL components already so will go with them. I built a Joe's 4x4 CNC about 10 years ago and it was controlled with Mach 3. I sold it about 3 years later and have been kicking myself ever since.
Sorry I never got a video. On my list of things to do! I can say since I built this thing I have cut aluminum with it using a climb cut, and that's about as much stress as you're gonna put on a machine. The results were very nice, but I was definitely not taking deep bites. I think maybe .040" and I don't remember what the feed rate was. This is something you have to play around with a bit. And the single flute bits tend to work the best, as you can only go so slow (rpm's) with a Palm router. The multiple flute bits require high IPM and the machine can't handle the stress, so it's a bit of a trade-off. It certainly is no milling machine, but it's pretty impressive for something made out of wood.
Hello! I’m really fascinated by your build. You keep it simple yet versatile and you presented it in a very well made video! You inspired me to build my own cnc machine. Can we get in touch?
I would recommend just buying the rails and parts you need, then buying the wooden pieces to size. Because there are no software limitations to the size of this machine, you can scale it up or down any way.
I've got to admit, I love these DIY builds, and there is much respect for the finished article. However, I noticed just from the video that everything was so tight fitting and perfect, that there must have been something else at the end there. I wasn't surprised at all when I saw the entire industrial grade carpentry workshop which in itself I would say prices this unit right out of the DIY 'home' section and right into the contractor cnc enthusiast section. Again, a great video, but would have loved to see this built using real home tools that someone can keep in a 8' x 6' shed.
You can do this at home, the only difference is that you will ask the lumber supplier to finish the wood for you as opposed to doing it yourself as in the first section where he was in his friend's shop
Everything is beuatifully done, beefy and strong. Except... the four small screws holding the aluminum router bracket. Any sideways or pulling forces will go through those screws..
Amazing absolutely amazing I've been looking all over UA-cam for this exact video for weeks! By far the most detailed best laid out and I formative video on this project by far. In my opinion of course... thank you so much for all your hard work! Your design is so clean and clear I am so much less intimidated by this project now. I'll be sharing with everyone I can think of!
hi! awesome machine! i was wondering if you would do the same for a large cnc... actually i need a working space for X axis around 2000mm, and I think it's not really recommended to use the screw to move along the axis.. is it better to use the belt system? Would you change something apart from this on your design? i appreciate the tips. thank you
Bro do u have a full length video for all this work. I have 2 full size 8X4 foot sheets of nice Plywood but I also wanted to use belts and pulleys on my build. I saw a great deal for 1000mm linear bearings and the ball screw on another website today. Don't know if I'm allowed to say the name or what so I won't but it was a great deal tbf. I think I'm going to do what u have done here and use Plywood to build out my machine. I need to spend a fair bit of time on the electronics but I watched part of part 2 and it loks or u made it look far more easy than I expected so I will be watching it very closely bro.. Great job anyways man. Keep up the fine work there.. Salute from Ireland..
Very nice design. Never use tree. Tree is alive and changes according to the humidity and other effects. Change the plates with al or steel then you will have an accurate system.
awesome CNC! I like the idea to do as much as possible out of wooden materials. Sadly the parts list above seems not to be complete (some parts missing, some others Need dimensions) and plans would help a lot! Would be great if you could update this info, if not i will have to calculate that myself. Thanks a lot for the Video.

Very nice and clean build, Roman! And your video is so well lit, clear and well explained. I bought the plans, thanks. It would be good to include the links you put in the UA-cam description into that PDF, as well as the electrical diagram. QUESTION: Did you measure the accuracy of the CNC? I would like to know how small is the backlash with your ball screw design, and how repeatable are the cuts in both hardwood and aluminum. Thanks!
Hello Roman! First of all, thank you for presenting your beautiful CNC. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, because I haven't watched the second video yet, here (first video) you provided the link to purchase the parts used on your CNC, only, for example, when you click on the "Linear Rails" link , is shown on the website (aliexpress) various Sizes and Color, so could you detail more about the size and model issues? Or do you detail that in the Project Plan? Now, a sincere question: Will someone (like me) who never tried to make a CNC, be able to do it? Thank you
Deseo construir mi cnc. He visto muchos tutoriales, y sin alguna duda, este es el mejor. Si pudiera tener los planos con medidas, esta sería mi selección. Los tiernes a la venta?
Why only 1 linear rail on Y axis, and 2 everywhere else? I really like it and have purchased the plans. May modify a few things, but overall a great design.
Would there be a huge difference between the makita RT0700C (710W) and the one you have in the part list of the description (500W). I am thinking of building such a machine for some time now, already did some successful Arduino projects so I now start to search for a suitable Design/Inspiration for one... (Should be able to cut/carve styrodur foam, wood aluminium and if this is somehow realistic steel (but steel is likely not possible with such a machine or would take way to long)...
Can i ask something please can you built this from your measurements or they is a standard i wanna build cnc which about 2 meter long maybe 800 mm wide can do that
HI if I had to think of an ultra low cost version, the engines could be nema17..... The Y axis already has two engines and the effort is already divided by two, so two nema17 are sufficient. the head (z-axis) does not make much effort, and the only one is the x-axis which should be nema23. do you agree?

hi! awesome machine! i was wondering if you would do the same for a large cnc... actually i need a working space for X axis around 2000mm, and I think it's not really recommended to use the screw to move along the axis.. is it better to use the belt system? Would you change something apart from this on your design? i appreciate the tips.
thank you
wow, what a nice build I would like to get some dimentions so I can build one just like yours.
Bro do u have a full length video for all this work. I have 2 full size 8X4 foot sheets of nice Plywood but I also wanted to use belts and pulleys on my build. I saw a great deal for 1000mm linear bearings and the ball screw on another website today. Don't know if I'm allowed to say the name or what so I won't but it was a great deal tbf. I think I'm going to do what u have done here and use Plywood to build out my machine. I need to spend a fair bit of time on the electronics but I watched part of part 2 and it loks or u made it look far more easy than I expected so I will be watching it very closely bro.. Great job anyways man. Keep up the fine work there.. Salute from Ireland..
Very nice design. Never use tree. Tree is alive and changes according to the humidity and other effects. Change the plates with al or steel then you will have an accurate system.
Very nice work. Could you provide a link to the furniture screws you used to attach the gantry?
awesome CNC! I like the idea to do as much as possible out of wooden materials. Sadly the parts list above seems not to be complete (some parts missing, some others Need dimensions) and plans would help a lot! Would be great if you could update this info, if not i will have to calculate that myself. Thanks a lot for the Video.
Excellent video and layout production. You just got another subscriber. Great job.
Nice build.
That's a quality build!
Outstanding effort!
hi there... I know you provided the list of items needed, but when I click on the link, we are supposed to pick some sizes... like the rails... could you please provide the exact part sizes you bought? Thanks... great video.....
Hello, machine is awesome, how is the rigidity when machine works, and do you try to work with metals.
I wonder how the strength and elasticity of the hardwood compares to a 40x40mm piece of aluminum t-slot or v-slot extrusion?
bro it's great job Thanks alot for the good work & for The information
Hi, These are a good project. Can you give me the schematic of the CNC machine.
Hello
Your CNC milling machine made a huge impression on me, the quality of milled elements is at a very high level. Would it be possible to share construction plans? I would love to build such a CNC.
Best regards and I wish you further successful projects
Thank you cycu87! The plans are now available via the download link in the video's description. Good luck with your build 👍
@@BooTec If I'm not mistaken, the second Y-axis motor is doubled this way? ua-cam.com/video/r1zi9vx3YP0/v-deo.html
and If you could write, What are the parameters of the capacitors?
Amazing attention to details. congratulation¡¡
Nice one. Timber is under-used
nice DIY build.
Voll cool. Isch ja de Hammer was du da baut hesch!
Great job Sir. I am planning to Upgrade my small machine with this one, i have only 1 motor for Y axis, how do i connect 2 Motors to Y Axis on Arduino and GRBL Sheild
Hi great video one of the best one. Please can you share the plans and sizes.
Thank you Waqas Tariq. I've just finished the plans and added a download link to the video's description.
Amazing work! is it possible to get the plans or dimentions for cuting plywood?
Hi Sam, thank you and check out the download link in the video's description.
Thank you very much... I inspired by your videos and build my own cnc and using it for my business...
Any one from india can contact me for my diy cnc plans
Nice video, nice oversight
Very nice and clean build, Roman! And your video is so well lit, clear and well explained. I bought the plans, thanks. It would be good to include the links you put in the UA-cam description into that PDF, as well as the electrical diagram. QUESTION: Did you measure the accuracy of the CNC? I would like to know how small is the backlash with your ball screw design, and how repeatable are the cuts in both hardwood and aluminum. Thanks!
Felicitaciones!! Muy buen trabajo 👍
would you mind show some detail about how to drill 4 screw holes on the router base?
Beautiful. Do you worry about the the frame swelling with ambient moisture?
Hello Roman!
First of all, thank you for presenting your beautiful CNC.
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, because I haven't watched the second video yet, here (first video) you provided the link to purchase the parts used on your CNC, only, for example, when you click on the "Linear Rails" link , is shown on the website (aliexpress) various Sizes and Color, so could you detail more about the size and model issues? Or do you detail that in the Project Plan?
Now, a sincere question: Will someone (like me) who never tried to make a CNC, be able to do it?
Thank you
Excellent video and very easily followed, but where can I get or buy the plans.
can you give me to know my board size that you use for this project and the part list that you use
I love this project, but I don't see many having built it.
Are you still using this project, and what are your experience with it just for wood work?
Deseo construir mi cnc. He visto muchos tutoriales, y sin alguna duda, este es el mejor. Si pudiera tener los planos con medidas, esta sería mi selección. Los tiernes a la venta?
Are the side plates from x portal strong enough?
Good ideas
Hi. I want a CNC that can do Aluminum milling for small jobs. Would you recommend any upgrades for that?? And could I attach a Laser.
Nice build but don't you get lots of flex in those gantry uprights? (in the direction parallel to x-axis). Are they thick enough?
very nice!
Why only 1 linear rail on Y axis, and 2 everywhere else? I really like it and have purchased the plans. May modify a few things, but overall a great design.
Very nice
Would there be a huge difference between the makita RT0700C (710W) and the one you have in the part list of the description (500W).
I am thinking of building such a machine for some time now, already did some successful Arduino projects so I now start to search for a suitable Design/Inspiration for one... (Should be able to cut/carve styrodur foam, wood aluminium and if this is somehow realistic steel (but steel is likely not possible with such a machine or would take way to long)...
what machine is that at 1:35
Thanks
where can I get the building planes with the measurements for this cnc machine? Thanks.
@BooTec ... Plz make a full sized 3d printer using same concept
you r big brilliant brother
Do you think its possible to run only 1 ball screw for the y axis?
Very good job ! Congratulations. Is it possible to have build plans for making my own ? Best regards and thank's.
Phil
Thank you Philippe, the plans are now available via the download link in the video's description.
omg what's that saw guillotine you use at the very beginning?!
This is really cool. Is it possible to get the plans for this?
Can i ask something please can you built this from your measurements or they is a standard i wanna build cnc which about 2 meter long maybe 800 mm wide can do that
Hi there
I've just bought your CNC plans. Do you have all the drawings with dimensions (e.g dimensions of center of the holes )
Regards
Olá Edgar...
Você conseguiu baixar o pdf dessa cnc?
O desenho esta completo?
Nice video
HI
if I had to think of an ultra low cost version, the engines could be nema17.....
The Y axis already has two engines and the effort is already divided by two, so two nema17 are sufficient. the head (z-axis) does not make much effort, and the only one is the x-axis which should be nema23. do you agree?
