Apologies for lack of updates the last week,
i have had PC problems leading to a format...
I have also decided to "
resurrect" my old
website, well...more like
COMPLETELY
redo it, it is very basic that is all im capable of
when it comes to webdesgin I thought it would
be neat to have a place to display all my projects
again rather than scattered over half dozen different
forums :-S...i have the layout organized i need
to complete all the pages as far as information goes
and organize a domain for it...You can have a peak
here if interested ...
Update
While i haven't updated any pages i HAVE been
working on the mill and have some news to report
as far as progress goes.
Friday i picked up all the fasteners needed to complete
the mill also picked up a sheet of polyethylene for the
linear carriages and one of the bed layers...I priced up
some 500x500mmx10mm aluminum plate was quoited
$100 bucks, this will be used for the top layer of the
mills bed, cut and bolted to the polyethylene to form
channels a bolt head will slide into, this will be the
'clamping solution' to fix the job to the bed...more on
that later, here is a pic of the 'supplies' i got on Friday -->
I have cut 20 aluminum spaces for the bearing/bolt setup
on the last spacer my pipe cutter shat itself so i need to
purchase another tomorrow, i have another 40 or so to cut,
took me the best part of watching TOP GEAR to cut the
first 20 hahaa...
I have put together one complete side of a carriage so you
can see better how they will run along the rails-->
I sooooo wanted the black polyethylene but they only had
it in 20mm thickness and 500x500mm sheet was $425 !!!!
nice but too price unfortunately, combination of the white
polyethylene and 10mm alumnium will do nicely, this
polyethylene is sooooo easy to work with and taps beauuuutifully...
I hope to finiah all the linear carriages tomorrow, i do
have to go to Bunnings for pipe cutter AND have promised
a mate i would come down and do some welding at his
newly purchased house for him so not sure if i will succeed
in my goal IF NOT will be a Thursday job...
More MUCH sooner than the wait for this update...
