CNC table

[dirty tools]

I need t make a special desktop CNC machine
where can I get a table ?in order for build the machine, I can not use a standard CNC router.
i have found everything else to make it
I need to clamp down the material for rostering the parts.

I plan on make a turbine engine
i need a router to carve the compressor blades.
I plan making a complete compressor as one component. Not make individual blades and the wheels. RPM are estimated about 120,000 at full power.

Sounds like quite a project.

You don't say what size this table needs to be but for making something that precise I would think a surface plate would be a good starting point. Otherwise you could look into casting an epoxy/granite base specifically for this project.

How flat does it need to be?

You really need a 5 axis machine to make turbine wheels.

You do NOT give much to go on..... table size, material, mounting, t-slots?

I just saw this place recently and bookmarked them:
https://www.worldofclamping.com/Steel-T-slot-plates

They have many different sizes and qualities of plates (cast aluminum or steel, regular or fine milled, etc)

The prices don't look terrible, but I did not see shipping costs.
They are in Port Washington, Wi .
