Still thinking on how to do the X bearings and Rack and Pinion. The bearings will have to be on two separate sides because it is only 2" X 4" alu extrusion. Rack and pinion on top maybe. Not sure yet. I should have put 3" X 6", but that stuff is triple the price.


I know the feeling. It was all a bit of a puzzle. I Went through so many iterations.

I got mine to fit on an 80mm x 40mm extrusion so you have plenty of room. When you say bearings, you mean linear bearings and rails? If you look at the radial torque specs of the HGR rails, you only need one rail (even for HGR15...) Provided you are not wanting to use it as a router!... Clive's looked nice with a rear mounted motor...


You have a link to Clive's?
\/Edit Never mind, I found it.

I'm sure this machine is being built by somebody who makes routers in his spare time!

Geez Bob! Have you checked the radial forces a single linear rail that size can handle?

I'm sure even one rail would have been overkill! :cheer:

I will say its coming together nicely though!

versatility never hurts. a spindle option or a machine torch option gives you two angles to unload the machine. i would have taken a deposit for material costs that was none refundable before i even thought about building something for a customer. but then i don't think that route is something i would do just because of liability issues. to many head aches that could happen.

OH, I got a 50% down payment before I even ordered anything.
