The blackToe is no longer sold as a kit or assembled.

The closest current design is the greenBull v2 2'x4' digital plans, and the Woodsmith CNC Kit is the parts kit we currently offer. We still stock the electronics and mechanical parts for existing blackToe machines. This page is kept for reference.

A new toy for The Next Industrial Revolution!. Everyone with a garage (or a spare bedroom) can get serious with their creations on the cheap. Version 4.1, a solid, fast, attractive chain driven CNC machine. This CNC machine offers 3 axis functionality driven by roller chain and sprocket for the x and y axes and lead screw for the z-axis. The overall structure is solid with respect to stresses in all directions. Chain drive for this CNC machine will allow velocities into the 800 to 1000 IPM (inches per minute) range. A table is offered as an optional add-on. All of the parts that make up this CNC machine design was formed with a keen eye on aesthetics. The Z-Axis can reach 5-7/8 inches (149.225 mm) of travel. Roller chain is kept as the main drive mechanism and transmission of linear motion due to its great characteristic of low maintenance and low to no backlash. For the first time, the table is an option that can be included. The table has four main parts that is assembled with ribs below similar to a torsion box, but will still need to be placed on a flat surface. For best results, the table assembly should be glued together and another full piece be glued to the bottom to create a full torsion box. To really take advantage of space, cabinets and/or drawers can be placed under the machine. Casters below that would allow for the machine to be somewhat mobile.
