Ordering...Misc Parts...

Here are photos of my other parts. I'm still short the rack, motors and paint but everything else is here. I ordered my laser cut "full options" kit (see below) from jbmclain (Joe) in Alabama for $420 (including shipping), including non-v groove bearings with the geared motor option. Highly recommend Joe if he is still doing group buys on parts.

I ordered nearly all my bolts, nuts and washers from www.boltdepot.com. I ordered everything except for the carriage bolts and nuts/bolts for the skate in stainless steel insted of zinc finish. It was only about 90$ for all the nuts and bolts (see below). I highly recommend them - I will have each of the part numbers from them (in stainless) in the BOM. They ship quick, the price is good, you can purchase quanities as small as 1 and they package EACH type of bolt/nut/washer in a seperate bag with the description and part number - which the BOM has a cross reference back to the specific page the parts are used on.

I ordered most of the misc parts like the cable management, springs, gears, etc from McMaster-Carr. They ship quick, the quality is always the best and the website is super easy to use - the downside is you pay for what you get. Most of the stuff is brand name - the gears are Boston Gear, the cable chain is Igus and so on. I understand they are not so great when it comes to shipments outside the US, but inside the US - el premo. In the photo (see below) you will notice that I went with adjustable, non-skid feet with insert for the 2x2" legs I've decided to go with.

The remainder of the items came from Automation Overstock (www.automation-overstock.com), Factorymation (www.factorymation.com), ACE hardware outlet (www.acehardwareoutlet.com), WT Tool (www.wttool.com), Superior Bearing (ww.superiorbearing.com) and K2CNC (www.k2cnc.com) - all shown below.
