CNC Project Schedule - Phase 1

Updated 10/26/2009



The first phase of the project will have the following groups of activities:

• Project Preparation



• Ordering and Deliveries



• CNC Controller Prep



• CNC Router Build

Project Preparation is on the plate for the next week or two. This will include specifying the requirements for the router (complete). Unless I clearly define the key criteria for the machine it would be just a matter of luck to select the right option.

The next step is to evaluate the most promising CNC router designs and kits (complete) informed by the previously defined criteria. Once the router configuration is known the parameters for the CNC Controller, including the power supply requirements, can be determined and sourcing for the hardware can be decided and orders placed. Then evaluation of controller software can be tackled as time allows since there shouldn't be much lead time to get the software.


While waiting for the CNC Router kit to arrive work can be done on the Controller and the table/platform for the router.

Hopefully all will be ready to assemble during the Thanksgiving week.
