So I have been building a new bigger CNC machine on and off as time has permitted. This one has a working area of 600mm x 1000mm, about 1/3rd bigger than the first one I built. Of course the first one was a learning experience and the learnings have hopefully improved this one.

Before I put the spindle on and start "cutting", I have mocked it up with a pen to help dial it in first. It is operational at this point and I just need to finish calibrating. Here is a short video of the first run. Although I'm happy with the first results the stepping is still off and more adjustments need to be made in the firmware.

Here is the first run results. Looking forward to finding the time for final adjustments and hope to be making sawdust soon 😁
