The CompUCut system consists of 70+ CAM commands
to complement your CAD data which together form a control program to drive the
machine.
The manual covers all you need to know to install the software, setup the
hardware and adapt your machine, also included is a demo program that enables
you to test your setup.
The result is a self built 4 axis CNC machine tool.
Why not use what you've already got?

The finished skeleton clock. |
You can use the machine that you've already got to do all the X-Y profiling for a clock. No modifications are required to the lathe, the 2 stepper motor drives are fitted in place of the manual leadscrews, setup can be dismantled in 15 minutes to win your lathe back.

The X1 Project marks a decade of CompUCut designs for small CNC machines. The progression from CompUCutter via CompUMill and the Wolfcraft conversion to the X1 Project shows a deliberate trend to make these machines easier to build for non-engineers. The project can be built and used in 2, 3 or 4-axis CNC mode. X1 Project from CompUCut features:
These features make this an ideal craft machine. |
