Goals
- Provide Collexion members and the wider Lexington community with:
- the means to create, modify, and share open-source designs for furniture, homewares, and other goods
- the means to fabricate these goods
- Learn CNC the fun way -- from the ground up!
- Showcase the open-source software and hardware that will be used in this project
- Encourage the use of locally-produced building materials
- Localize the means of production for home goods
- Educate the community about the benefits of DIY and open source
- Reduce the amount of money that flows to corporations who are ignoring their duties to their customers and society at large
- World Peace
The Machine
We are building an example of Joe's 4x4 Hybrid CNC Router:
Discussion

Tools Used
- Drills (Jason has cordless to borrow)
- Circular Saw (Jason has cordless to borrow)
- metal cutting saw (Collexion)
- table saw (Collexion)
- a 5/16" tap (a device that threads the inside of a hole to enable a screw/bolt to fasten) (hempy)
- screwdriver(im sure we have plenty)
- time on someone else's CNC Router to cut out gantry parts. (Or buy a kit)
To Do List
- Analyze Joe's plans (done - Oct? 2011)
- Develop shopping list (done)
- Source Parts (done)
- Get Tools
- Get CNC Hardware
- Get Router
- Purchase materials
- Explore software options
- Dust collection. (Will serve entire shop (table saw, etc.), not just the router, right?)
Suppliers
- http://www.kelinginc.net -- Steppers, controllers, kits.
- http://www.homeshopcnc.com -- Steppers, controllers, kits.
- http://www.castcnc.com -- Eliminate MDF parts with an aluminum casting?
- http://www.dumpstercnc.com -- Anti-backlash nuts & accessories.
Other Designs
Some other plans we considered. All are viable, and our selection of Joe's plans should NOT be taken to diminish any of these fine designs.
