Hello every body.
I started mi project but did some changes in the original drawings. In the X rails I was going to use two ¾” pipes for each side but I change my mind because the welding that I need to hold the pipe was going to affect the straightness necessary in the rails so I went to rectangular tube that it can be adjusted easily so I had to change the way the gantry is going to run. For this project I had to learn all by my self to weld so that’s the reason some welds might look very poor but they are strong (I hope so, jaja)
I cut the basic frame of the gantry.
The gantry is armed using 5/16 fasteners. That help a lot to square, because it can be tied up when you are satisfied, and can adjust easily when is need it. I am going to ad ¾ angles in the bottom corners of the gantry (not yet in the pictures) to help keep aligned and tight. The Y rail in the gantry will have two bolts on each side to lock the rail to the gantry (not yet in the pictures). Like I said before am using structural tube 4”X 2” X 4/16” . I am posting the first pictures of my second baby and counting with the help and advice you guys can give me.
Thanks .
