The reasons for making it so tall are 1. as a challenge to see if I could do it 2. room for an automatic tool changer (ua-cam.com/video/OTaon2fveP4/v-deo.html) 3. room for a possible 4th or 5th axis The method for stiffening the Z axis is by constructing a "double-decker" MPCNC, essentially two MPCNC machines stacked one on top of the other with a Z axis that runs through both. This is shown briefly here ua-cam.com/video/dY03M7fH_ZU/v-deo.html and a more detailed discussion here www.v1engineering.com/forum/topic/double-decker-build/ Even though the double-decker build takes about twice the material, the cost is still less than $600. X and Y dimensions are about 3' by 4', which allows approximately 2' by 3' of working space.
very cool!
How is a machine that tall cutting aluminum?!?!?

Please show us your custom bracing for such a tall machine. Thanks
Amazing, especially for such a big height! What's your calculated work area? What spindle are you using? Rpm? Thx 🙂
Why so tall? Great seeing the MPCNC cutting aluminum.
Awesome, but whats your current size X/Y/Z of your mpcnc ?
This machine has approximately 36" by 24" by 10" working volume.
@@jamiekawabata7101 thanks, this means X: 36" (91,44cm) Y:24" (60,96cm) x Z:(25,4cm) ?
Normaly US conduits ? without support in conduits /etc `?
Brilliant
