I have been working on the gantry the last couple of days. and it is progressing well I think. Will get some pics of it posted up in the next couple of days.
My bearings and "V" rails got here. I was putting the angles that the rails ride on down again today to check a dimension and spent all afternoon chasing 1/8" out of parallel somewhere. I thought I had checked this before but will likely have to slot a few holes. The rails need to be within 1/16" of parallel to each other if the bearings are going to run right. I'll figure it out tomorrow - my frustration level was getting too high today so I just shut the shop up and came in. |
