New, confused but willing to learn!!

No not at all, if (when!) I built (build) another machine then that is what I would use as the minimum cutting size, the drives for moving the axis's will be the same just that the ballscrews will be a bit longer. The frame design would be different but the concept would be the same.

Just need a good excuse to build it as not got a demand for anything that big at the moment.

Here is a vid on youtube of me just messing around cutting a bit of MDF -

Anyway, enough about my cnc router!!

Can someone point me in the right direction to some plans that I can use, would be a bonus if they would fit on my cnc though.

have you tried the top of the page lol

under PLANS

Cubo's would be a good start

or Lev has a frankenstein scoop he would like knocked up, but you would have to carry it finished on ya back, because he only has old money

Smart arse....!

Looks like I am in good company here, sarcasm works everytime in my book.

Did have a scan through the the plans link but did not know what I was looking at, will have a closer look at the Cubo's??

Ta!

some members are sensitive though, you have to be a bit camp around them

you're going to make loads of friends on here, you own a cnc smiley20

must admit, even I got a semi on when I read 'I OWN A CNC', I would imagine Lev lifted his desk

:lol:

Did someone say plans !?

Would imagine there is a market here for selling flatpacks for popular items such as Simple MT121, TSE 115/215 Modified Eminence scoops, MS18Mk2.

i wondered when the secret plans page would pop up lol..... some very good plans on this page...... i have a collection of around 1000 plus plans now...... im happy to share if i have any plan u need....... but please note i wont share current production plans..... did i read right cnc machine, thats just showing off...... smiley36

Welcome aboard !!!! BTW, any chance of convincing you to move to the heart of the US... say within a block or two of me...... and talking you into applying some of that equipment and experience to a project for a starving musician !!!!!
LOL !!!! Not gonna happen ,but would sure be nice !

Guys...

The more I read up on speaker design and look at different plans then the more confused I am getting, there is me thinking 'I'll just knock up a couple of decent speakers for a few quid', how wrong could I have been!

You boys sure do know your stuff! Crossovers, drivers, midrange, subs, amps..... what the f@~% am I letting myself in for. I can usually get my head round most things pretty quickly but this one may have beaten me!

So.... I have made an offer on a couple of Wharfdale 12" titan active speakers (£300) to get my karaoke going, is this a good deal or are they a waste of time? The write-ups on them look good but I dont believe everything I read.

Making speaker flat packs for you guys is definately something that I will look into, what about if I start with the MT121's, I will have to re-draw the design in my CAD system first of all and make sure everything fits together. that is unless someone already has a 3D model which i could use, then I can produce the programs for my machine and get cutting.

As for the technical side of speaker building with selecting drivers, horns, amps etc then I may have to leave that to you guys.!

I'm also confused, do you build cnc machines? I noticed it looked like it might have been a diy machine?
