Status: offline 		Hi Guys,

I have for some tome looking for a DIY Kit for a CNC Foam Cutter but not had much luck...I am keen to purchase an used foam cutter..the type similar to that manufactured by Foam Linx...ateleast 39" effective X Axis...machine should be in good knick...am okay with spending some $$$ on changing parts if necessary...

I am not sure whether this is the right place to put this but would appreciate if I could hear from any of you..

Thanks..

Jack

Status: offline 		If your interested there are many DIY plans out there where by you can build one for around $300US. I have some plans that I can sell you that details the entire build process and gives sources for the electronics. i.e.- stepper motors, driver board, etc.

let me know if your interested??

Status: offline 		The foam cutter has two vertical posts that the citting wire is pulled taught across. it uses 4 stepper motors and is similar to many of the others seen around the web. Let me know if your further interested, its real easy to build, basic woodworking skills- hammer, tablesaw, jigsaw, etc. Give me a shout and I will send you photos and more info regarding the cutter.

Status: offline 		My 'woodworking' skills are lacking. I have been told that with a hammer, saw, and nails I become dangerous. Something like public enemy #1. However, this has my attention as I need to do something. Will this system handle cylindrical objects? Please send me photos too.

Thanks.

Marco, thanks for the link. I will look at it also but my spanish is MUCH weaker than your English.

Status: offline 		Be careful with the guys at cenece.com (spanish site), I'd buy the complete system for foam cutting; two electronic components arrived broked...

I'd notify that to cenece.com; juanchi and javier lopez tell me they will send me new parts again; that never happend...

I'd send they too many email for replace the parts and always say "next week"... It was two years a go and not arrived yet....

Marco Vergara, ten cuidado, no responden a los clientes aunque segun ellos "no vendemos, apoyamos para que te fabriques tu cortador", por eso varios amigos y tu servidor optamos por clonar el cortador que yo tengo; si requieres apoyo cuenta conmigo.

Un abrazo
