About
The Shapeoko 2 [1] is a light weight belt driven 3 axis CNC capable of routing wood, foam, plastic, soft nonferrous metals, and circuit boards. Possible projects are shown, but not limited, to some samples here [2]. As of now the main tool used to cut is a manual set multispeed generic dremel.
Electronics:
-Arduino Uno
-GRBL gShield
-24V, 2A Power Supply
-58 oz-in stepper motors, 12V
Safety
Due to the high speeds of the dremel and the possibility of high lateral forces on the cutting bits WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES when the spindle is on. Make sure persons in the area are aware of this failure mechanism and they also wear goggles. Do not risk your eyes.
How to Use
Possible Future Upgrades
A few upgrades that could make our Shapeoko 2 better are:
-Quiet cut spindle[3]
-Threaded inserts[4]
-Vacuum attachment[5]
