After some delays, the Oxman CNC has finally arrived.
This video and post mark the first physical step toward adding CNC capability to the SV Sienna project. In this phase, the focus is not on cutting parts yet, but on assembling the machine itself and getting familiar with its construction and layout.
Only the frame and the X-axis are assembled so far. Everything else will follow step by step.
What Was Done
- Unboxed and checked the Oxman CNC components
- Assembled the main frame
- Installed and aligned the X-axis
At this stage, the goal was simply to get the machine standing and to understand how the major components fit together.
Materials and Tools
- Bulkman3D Oxman Pro with DDCS 4.1 off-line controller
- Standard hand tools for assembly
No materials for the boat itself have been used yet.
The CNC is intended to be part of a larger workflow where the entire Setka A is first modelled in CAD before any parts are cut. This machine will form the link between the digital model and the physical build.
What’s Next
The next steps will be to continue assembling the CNC, install the remaining axes, and get the machine wired and moving.
Once the CNC is fully assembled, it will need to be tested, calibrated, and dialled in before it can be used reliably. Only after that will it be used to cut test parts and, eventually, components for the boat.
In parallel, work on the CAD model of the Setka A will continue, so both the digital and physical sides of the project can progress together.
