hello from australia

[benno13]

hi guys,

looking forward to talking with some of you regarding building a turntable. I have a CNC router and it has been a project that I have been looking forward to. I can draw in CAD and produce cut files for making the plinth and the main base of the turntable. I am looking for information on what motor to buy etc. I also have a small metal lathe which I can make small parts for this project.

Cheers for now

CNC router

Welcome benno, sounds like a fun project! Tell us more about that CNC router 🙂

My router is designed to take upto a 2500 x 1300mm sheet of material. I can cut timber, MDF, acrylic, aluminum, brass etc. I can also use it to cut in 3d which can give very interesting results. I plan on using it to make the chasis of the Turntable and some other parts.

Cheers

welcome Benno! superb sounding gear youve got there, I hail from Buderim initially myself, nice up there. let us know if we can be of assistance. my skills lay more in the digital line level area so cant be of too much help specifically with your turntable project, but i'm sure someone will.

Hey Chris, how about that chap from the small meet we had last year with the stat panels? didnt he make his turntable?

I'd forgotten about that, yeah he did!

Benno, he's a member on here too - diyAudio - View Profile: waricle - he might be able to give you some tips on sources for the gear you're after. His diy-TT is very nice indeed!


Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for that. I would be happy to get involved in anyone else's projects if my router can be of any assistance. I specialise in audio visual cabinets and home theatres so am used to cutting out some interesting jobs.
