The video details the assembly of a custom CNC router frame, focusing on the design and construction of the machine table. The creator explores various permutations to achieve maximum rigidity, ultimately settling on what he claims is the most rigid Shapeoko foundation ever built. This project, assisted by Fabworks' metal laser cutting services, is part of the ongoing Frankenoko build series, aimed at CNC enthusiasts and makers interested in custom machine construction.

Description

In this video I finally take some concrete steps towards building my custom Shapeoko CNC, the Frankenoko. Previously, I'd machined individual parts, but now I'm locking down the design and starting to put the pieces together. Here, I detail the ideas and permutations I had for the machine table, and how I ended up with what might be the most rigid Shapeoko foundation ever. This project was made with the assistance of Fabworks. Check out their metal laser cutting services here: https://go.fabwor

He's ALIVE! I was just thinking that it's been a while since I've watched one of your videos. I always really enjoy your workflow and the projects you show. Thanks for making the time to share a new project.

Rad! But you mean you’re not from Connecticut, after all that’s where Moore Tools was based.

By the way, I can get you any threaded tapped table tops. We do these for co-bot tables. Drilled, tapped, anodized.
