Hi Randy,
Thanks for the suggestion. Joe has some good ideas on his machine.
I had the skate bearings riding on top of the gas pipe. I was having trouble with my original X axis design so I built it the easiest way I could. I just wanted to get the machine going. I didn't think the machine would or could cut as fast as it did.
As for that machine, I have striped off all the useable parts and threw out the table.
