    My steel frame small router (Madvac Inspiration)

    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

    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,
    Brian

    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

    Gantry update

    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!
