HI All,
check out the pictures and comment. I am working 8 + 4 hours with 3 hrs travel add on daily to office. I might type much less and post more pictures.
might be - end up with more typing than pics- you never know
Also inspired by Hayden's router and the Madvac.
Enjoy
contactirfu,
Your new router project looks great ! Where are you finding the time & resources to work on these routers. I'm very impressed. I e-mailed Hugo and he's testing rev. 00E. cross your fingers and say the right words to the right Gods, I am

Actually I totally drained of energy paul, think i will be on drugs sooner and grow older than othersOriginally Posted by tenmetalman
well the time i mentioned in my previous post and the resources, i took up a bank loan for this!
hope all turns up well .........only hoping for the best yet!
Praying yes,
Great built, you are very "devotee", may I know your energy source ?
its looking great. i like how you're using supported rails rather then just the end supports. thats going to make it really precise on the cuts. good job. keep it up.

maybe a CNC router will make my audio enclosure builds allot easier. lol
It will also help me keep the mounting easier and i dont have to probably get the rail mounting either epoxied or machined, though I know it might have helped, i just dont have that sort of metal powder epoxies here.
Just finished mounting the x rail yesterday and got to move it easily. will post a video soon of the rail functioning.

Hello,
Looks good so far. Have you checked the straitness of the steel you are mounting the supported rail to, comparing the left and right x-axis spans? Also, have you added some weight to the center to of the X-axis span to simulate the gantry weight, checking for deflection. The way it is designed, you could still add a vertical beam under the center point if that is a problem. Looks good though!!
If you need, I could stress that frame for you to see any possible deflection on the cutting bet or linear rails etc. But I don't think it will be a problem, just know our services are here if you need them.
Keep up the good work!
Regards,

Brain,
Thnks for ur response, the square tubes I cut were straight and since after mounting the rails yesterday has given me more confidence inteh bolted type of fitting and I suddenly realised that I am a better metal worker too apart from being just a regular mechanical engineer.
I have levelled teh table to the best of my eye and mounted teh rails and they do work good and flat.
Thanks for offering to stress the frame out for me, but I am in India, so its outta Q!
BTW my DAD and my cousin were a great help in the build. The only pain part in assembling a bolted design is the number of times you have to dis-assemble and re-assemble, its just PIA!
Thanks for all comments

contactirfu,
No problem. I did mean stress it through software in a digital format of course lol. I too am a mechanical/aerospace engineer.
Keep us posted on your progress!!

We can do that here too!, and I myself dont trust it much. sure will keep all posted! my internet connection at home is all f'd up, need to get it running to post the latest videos and pics.
Chk out the pictures - they speak for themselves, Manjeet thanks for the end blocks man. U rock.
The men in the picture are my DAD and Cousin! they are my helpers on weekends and DAD is a full time help too. DAD organizes most of the stuff while I am away at office. Man DAD's Rock too.

Finished the gantry almost!
The20mm dia linear slides took quite a while to mount accurately,well it was done finally!
Now need to build the Z axis tomorrow. Hope it comes out well.
Also the y ball screw will be back from repair and end machining soon. I do have a lot to concentrate upon!
Wish me luck guys!
