ShapeOko DIY CNC Router Table makes it’s first cut!

Written By: Bill Griggs - Oct• 12•11

Edward Ford, designer of ShapeOko DIY CNC Router  Table posted pictures as it makes it’s first Cut.  Ford has been experimenting with Makerslide Open Source Linear Bearing systems prototypes to see if they could be adapted to the ShapeOko. Early test look extremely positive. It has been gratifying to see two Open Source projects Mashup to create a complimentary project. Both ShapeOko and Makerslide used the crowd funding website Kickstarter to successfully fund the development of their projects.

Edward Ford indicated that he still had some minor work to do before he would be completely satisfied with the router table. However the corrections he described are so minor that he may have already completed them. ShapeOko is one step closer to realizing the goal of creating an Open Sources CNC Router table for under $300.
