magma-joe,
I worked this past weekend on the legs and long axis supports. I managed to get them straight and true. The design is almost modular, as the slat supports and the gantry rails will be separate but bolted to the same 5" I-beam. The legs are 5X5X1/4" w/6X6X1" plates for feet. I will get it up off the ground however and use some sort of shimming device to get everything in line (great idea). I will use the wire trick too mentioned by Geof. I have a box straight edge/level that is 8' that should help with some of the flats.
I am most interested to see your build! A dual drop would be pretty cool. You went all the way it looks like. Just the DASH and the dynascribe are a shedload. Will you retrofit or build new? I have looked at pics of your table many times when I was drawing ours. The guys a DT have been very accommodating for us here. I spoke with Mike at DT yesterday and he said it can ship when I am ready. I am hoping to ship in the first week of August
I will post some pics after this weekends round of work. I have been busy this last month with other stuff in our shop, it has picked up a bit (yeah). I think that is part of murphy's law. I wish time really was like money and I could put some in the bank!  |
