Ciao from Italy !
Hi,
I am planning to build a MM of about 3000x1500 mm, I just started studing the project that seems to me wonderfull, I will buy the laser cutting bended already made from some of the guy here in the forum (I think Kim if still possible). My plan is to use the machmate for cutting plywood and if possible (I think yes) to profile 60x80 mm section of solid wood (Douglas ....or equivalent) to build windows. Anybody as done the MM in Italy already ? Ciao Sergio "silverdog" |

Welcome Sergio!
I believe you are the first person from Italy to post here and say you are interested. Many people from Italy have downloaded the plans, but they all keep very quiet. We often cut curved window/door pieces for customers. |

silverdog,
Your english is excellent. If you have not down loaded the plans, I would suggest do that. Start understanding the plans as you as you go through the various threads. Good luck with your build. |

hi
hi silverdog,
i wrote in italian only for quick reading and my english is not perfect like your ![]() i'm a designer and i work with many mechanical industry: cnc is my hobby and i follow this beautiful forum, the other international forum like cnczone and the italian forum cncitalia. unfortunately i build 2 small cnc router and only after these build i found the MM forum. the MM is a big router, it needs more space and is born especially for woodworking. i've an idea to build a 5 axis MM router but not now if you need drawing or material or only compliance to build a MM it's a plesure for me thanks and bye |

Ciao,
As Nils suggested, I already downloaded the plans and I am studying them, meanwhile jumping around the threads in the forum. I have good base of electronics and electrotechnics, with patience and carefull I can manage some mechanics .... my biggest problem is welding , it's forbidden to me to weld metal (I have a strong myopia and welding can cause problems to my eyes), but I am teaching my wife how to. (Could women serve something isn it ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Romano maybe you know near Rome somebody who can make the cutting and bending pieces ? thanks |

![]() Had to look this up, it was the first time I had seen "goliardic", from this page: "Goliards were wandering scholars devoted to adventure and the good life. While some serious students traveled from one university to the next in search of the specific knowledge each school had to offer, the Goliards traveled in search of wine, women and song. Most scholars began their studies through the Church, so Goliards were usually clerics, but they were not at all priestly in their behavior. In between drinking and chasing women, Goliards found time to write a variety of songs, from the religious to the bawdy. This included love songs (both reverent and scandalous), political satires and, of course, drinking songs. They also wrote plays and poetry. While only a percentage of their surviving works have musical notation, it is believed that almost all their poetry was meant to be sung." |

Well, according to your definition maybe I was a bit too generous on our lifestyle ..... but I'm sure not in our spirit isn'it ?

Welcome Sergio,
Yes, in spirit there is a lot of us Goliards, but to get the MM build one has to put in some effort. ![]() ![]() |

Ciao everybody,
After some studies, the game is started. I already ordered a set of laser cut pieces from Kim (bended). Next week I plan to buy all the metal needed for my 2483x1600 table (I decided for this length to use only one 6 meter bar, and for the width 1530 is the biggest plywood I use) so this is my shopping list: 3083x180x70mm x2pcs log.beam (1010322) 720x76x38mm x4pcs legs (1010332) 2020x76x38mm x8pcs cross bearer (1010302) 2100x100x50(x2)mm x2pcs cross members (1020440) 3083(+400)x60x60(x6)mm x2pcs x-rails 2100(+400)x60x60(x6)mm x2pcs y-rails 1983x50ǿx4mm x2pcs low longitudinal pipe (1010312) 520x50ǿx4mm x4pcs vertical bearer (1010314) 1996x50ǿx4mm x2pcs lower cross brace (1010306) 843x50ǿx4mm x4pcs Low angle brace (1010316) 599x30ǿx3mm x2pcs cross angle brace (1010304) 715x50x25x3mm x1pcs 350mm z-slide tube (1040364) 2050x20x6mm x2pcs y-rail clamp (1020235) it seems all to me, now a little question, I wish I could use square tubes instead of the round 50mm I saw many had changed, but I cannot find anymore which was the indicated size can anybody help ? Do I have to ask for a particular steel ? thank you Sergio |
