Build your own "MechMate" . . . .
|
 |
| The MechMate is a sturdy, reliable, full-size CNC router that is ideal for cutting plywood and MDF on a continuous daily basis with little maintenance. Elements of the MechMate were originally designed as upgrades for a ShopBot, but the point has now been reached where the whole machine has been self-built. |
 |
The drawings used for producing the first MechMate have been being tidied up and are published on this site, for free. You can use the designs to upgrade elements of a ShopBot, or you can build a total machine from scratch. The plans and information from this site can be used by small companies and persons to build "once-off" machines which may not be sold for profit. Please contact me if you want to produce multiple MechMate machines or components for sale. |
The downloads section contains the drawings and parts lists. The Forums have recently been converted to new software, but this is where the knowledge-base is located - lot's of photos and discussion. (Example)
