CNC 6040 Router Machine Bed Upgrade
In this video I show you the process of upgrading my CNC 6040 Router with a new machine bed. Take a look at http://www.mbcreates.com for extra info, a material list and the fusion 360 files.

It’s almost a year since I got my CNC 6040 Router and I’m still happy with my machine. But since I’m using my CNC 6040 Router more and more for milling Aluminum it started to reach the limits of its capabilities. After making a list of upgrades I would like to do, the easiest upgrade that would improve the machine the most was the machine bed.
After doing some research I decided to upgrade my CNC 6040 Router with a heavy steel plate. The 45 kg plate would eliminate problems with bending and vibrations that the old bed had. Leveling the steel plate with the spindle was in my opinion a little bit to ambitieus for this machine. Instead I designed a waste board out of 18mm multiplex with M6 hex screw insert that is bolted down on the steel plate. This board is easy to level and by using the M6 hex screw inserts I can use the clamps that originally come with the CNC 6040 Router.
When the new machine bed was finally finished it was time to see if the upgrade was worth its money. I did a test with a 4 mm end mill taking a 6 mm deep cut in 6060 Aluminium. The upgrade had made a huge improvement in rigidity and all the vibrations where gone, making the CNC 6040 Router a much better and quieter machine. The new workholding with the hex screw inserts is also a big improvement.
