My
4-axis desktop CNC machine. There is an X, Y, Z axis and a rotary table.
This machine is actually a manual machine from a company called Sherline that has been retrofitted with stepper motors. You can go to
their site to find companies that make CNC retrofits for these machines.
My first major project built using this machine was a custom 6
legged robot. |

The
milling machine X-Y base. There is around 8.5" of usable x-axis
travel and 5" of usable y-axis travel on the stock machine. I am
currently working on a modification that will extend the usable y-axis
travel to 8". Project completed!

The
z-axis has around 7" of usable travel. There is also a manual rotary
attachment that allows the axis to be tilted. |
