Hello all,
I am about to begin my initial build soon - a Dremel powered dual purpose drill press and table saw. Now, I know that this may seem NOT related to a robot topic, but I will be using this tool project as the stepping stone for building an Arduino CNC with REPRAP software (similar to the LIL CNC in instructables.com) while re-using as many of the tablesaw parts as possible in the CNC.
My goals are simple:
1. build the dremel (2 in 1) table saw
2. use the dremel table saw to make the CNC while incorporating parts from the table saw
3. use the CNC to build robot parts, kids toy kits, or whatever
4. decide which robot I want to build (mining bot, scale robotech VF-1, scale megas XLR)
Here are the initial drawings (still in development) of the dremel table saw:
