Hi,
As a hobby I built guitars. And now I’m looking to build a cnc to help achieve more precise and repeatable results.
The bed I’m looking for is about 80*40/50cm big.
Is a root 4 lite doable for this? What cnc would you recommend? I’m hoping to keep the cost reasonably low…
Hi,
I would imagine the Root 4 Lite will be suited for that size machine. I would expect the machine to have its longer axis in Y direction.
here is a spreadsheet to workout what length ball screws you need:
I’ve highlighted your ballscrew lengths in orange:
Kind Regards Pete
Thanks Pete!
One more question sorry 
I don’t have a 3d printer is it possible to buy the printed parts and the starter pack from you’re shop together?
I live in the Netherlands.
Or maybe a tip on where to print it.
Regards Joost
Just realised that a axis of 60mm is a bit short. I would rather have it 100mm+
So I guess a root 4 build would be more suitable.
I’ll check what the cost would be for my size
The Root 4 is a great machine! so either route you go will do your job.
As for printing the parts - I shall look into this. the Root 4 does take a lot of plastic but it is something I can do - considering my printer is mostly idle!
Hi Pete,
Thanks for you’re reply. I would love to get a price for the 3d printed parts.
And for the shop, is the dustshoe panels going to be added?
I have just machined a new dust shoe for my Machine (As I crashed my old one - whoopsy).
and I’ve also got a number of other items I want to get into the shop - so please stand by 
Standing by Sir 
I’ll keep an eye out in the shop
Would you (or anyone else here) be willing to print the parts for me? I’m located in the Netherlands.
remind me - what machine was it for? I have some Root 4 Lite parts lying around
Hi Pete,
It’s for the root 4.
