Well I have been busy drawing up what I think is a viable 600mm x 600mm x 100mm cutting area router frame concept. The X and Y axis are fully expandable in future tables. I started out simple but like a lot of CAD projects, with the ability to draw just about anything and import files of available products, the table and motion became a more engineered and machined part table. This seemed to come about as problems were solved.
We have a great CNC machine shop in town so I will get the machine parts quoted out this week along with necessary machining of existing available parts. I have two Igus 700 mm "W" linear assemblies so I will need to get quotes on the two remaining linears and the EZ Chain.
Here are some pictures of what I have come up with so far. It is not 100% complete but all of the very sticky opperational problems are solved and just a few details need ironing out.
