MPCNC or LowRider2?

My summary: These are great hobby machines to learn about CNC routers and they are useful for prototyping. They are not good for production i.e. earning money from their output. If you need larger than 2ft by 2ft (600mm by 600mm approx) then use the lowrider.

I this is a great overview. I hadn't seen such a great back-to-back comparison. I'm thinking about starting with a CNC laser or router, but ultimately I'd like to go with a plasma torch.

I've contemplating making the lowrider one. What keeps it from moving side to side in the X? Seems like something should be squeezing against the sides of the table

What depth per pass are you using on the aluminum? When cutting aluminum use shallower depths.

I appreciate your video. You did a good job breaking everything down. How are the aluminum tubes holding up? are there any wear grooves from the bearings? In the US the stainless tubes are harder to source and are more expensive, but I finally found a place that sells them as shower rods for hanging curtains. The electric conduit I used is pretty good, but the surface isn't the smoothest. It is stiff enough and holding up well. This will help me to decide if I will move onto a Lowrider or not. Are you on the forum? Thanks again.

Although it has voice sync problem, this playlist has the best CNC videos: Trotec's Speedy 300: CNC Laser Machine Walkthough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCAp3e5kB0Q&list=PLn1LILNztHzMF8LT0ofUnVK2ZPcPeEvBv

Do you have an opinion about the Marlow? And have you considered if the low rider could be changed to work vertically on a wall? Thanks for the video.

If you are burning wood and your bits then your feed rate is to high. You need to slow it down in the software. The spindle should handle cutting wood with no problem.

How do you handle the chips? I saw a video on here earlier with some dude doing aluminum (his video is what made me finally decide to do this) and his aluminum chips would have been about 6 inches deep from one job. They were super fine chips but how in the world does one handle that? I see you have an enclosure, which I will do as well, but how do you get those chips out of there or they will build up and bust something before the job finishes?

Good Day, I'm thinking of building one but really need your advice I wanted to build one with a working area of 4ft x 3ft just to cut MDF you think it'll be possible?

Have you tried using WD40 when cutting aluminium, I've seen around YT quite a few machinists recommend it

What is the size and work area of the mpcnc?

You should look into building the Gatton CNC. It is way more sturdier than either of those you have. Check it out on youtube before you make a decision. You can make it big enough to do a little bigger than a half sheet of plywood. Costs about $1200 to make one using his kit and other readily available hardware. Check it out.

Hi, I'm working out bed size for my LR2. Yours looks a big enough, what size is it please?

Labs video! Jautājums - kur Tu pirki tās caurules (vadulas)?

👌 Auf meinem Kanal dokumentiere ich gerade in einem Mehrteiler den Bau meiner MPCNC. Wenn Du Interesse hast, schau gern vorbei. Viele Grüße von Michael 👍

Its really long video :D Can u please write a summary, what are the main advantages of lowrider compared to mpcnc and vice versa. How should I choose between them? Which one do u think is more precise?
