Technical Stuff
- Actual table dimension for the 4'x8' are 55.25"x123" (this will create a 1 inch overhang on both sides).
- The overall design has increased rigidity for the new routing/milling area but still maintains the aesthetics that are common across all of the machines on this site.
- To guarantee that the gantry doesn't flex at all, a series of ribs were added within the gantry box making the entire gantry very similar to a torsion box.
- The motors selected for all of the axes are NEMA 34 with 1/2" shafts (driven by 6.0 amp drivers).
- The dust shoe is redesigned to provide better dust extraction capability.

This is an example of the greenBull CNC with laser cutting through basswood. The main test here was not the laser cutting depth, but the smoke extraction method with an open machine. We found that the vacuum near the lasing was able to remove most of the smoke.
