It'll do a bartop though right? |
| Vigo:
I would say no problem with a smaller bar top, and probably fine with a standard one too, as long as that is what you designed the cnc for. The real constraint with longer conduit is that it will start sagging in the middle if too long. If the purpose is to simply do perimeter cuts and maybe some pockets for fitting, than a sag of a few mm is not a big deal. If you are doing stuff like vcarving, then the sag becomes a bigger deal. If you are looking to make an affordable machine to cut large sides and panels, you can make one of these mpcnc machines, and use it to make its big brother, the low rider. Vicious1.com has the full instructions on both. |

But what about us poor souls that dont have a 3d printer? Also, schedule 80 conduit and pipe is very thick walled, but on the conduit, the outside diameter is bigger, (not sure about pipe, but I think so too) so if you use sch 80 you will have to take this into account when you print your pieces. |
