New Machine Build

Hello,

It's been a while since I actually revisited a build design. Often I am encountered with fabricating stock that challenges the traditional limits of machines I currently own on the shop floor. I have since forced myself to make the time and effort to build a machine platform that I know the way it's been put together and how to fix it if problems do occur.

I will be sharing pictures of my experience and posting pictures of the design and build to completion. The premises of the design will include:

- Using heavy gauge aluminium extrusions with minimum 4mm walls

- Gantry plates that are fabricated using 1" 6061 grade aluminum stock

- 20mm linear rails and blocks on X and Y axis

- Have the ability to support precision ballscrews as well as racks in the near future

- 2.2kw ATC ISO20 water cooled spindle

- Still deciding on the controller but the Masso Controller looks enticing

If there is any feedback please do not hesitate to provide either by contacting me directly or via post

Shaffin.

Bro

You clicked the wrong bookmark. No one here is interested in that shit.

You need to get this over to CNC Zone pronto. That's your audience.

Regards Phil.

Thank you for the info.
