Sable 2015 Desktop CNC / engraver

[BazyleParticipant @bazyle]

Starting new thread to cover this following article in MEW 347 and topic https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/topic/mew-347/ to get it into place under CNC and make it searchable without clutter.

Also relevant threads : https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/topic/3018-cnc-router-digitizer-laser-cutter-modifications-and-upgrades/

and https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/topic/bed-for-6040-cnc/

It seems the Sable may be obsolete. However the key features are that it is so much smaller and therefore possibly more rigid than a 3018 and it uses a separate spindle and motor instead of putting an ER holder on the end of a motor again for more rigidity.
It seems therefore that a construction article on such a spindle is ideal ME content.
Also perhaps a second hand 3018 or collection of parts could be made into a smaller unit.

Even 2015 is bigger than most of the parts I would make by cnc (2015 is shorthand for 200mmx150mm) and I could get away with 50×50, well certainly 100×100.
