Late on Friday, I picked up the pieces! These first three pictures were taken with my Iphone, and doesn't do the color justice. I used my GF's SLR camera for the other photos...
Here are the pieces as they sat on on Saturday morning... I painted the black pieces with flat BBQ paint and tool blacked the edges that were masked off from the powder coating.
Here is a close-up showing the painted logo as well...
Beginning of the assembly...
I finished rebuilding the Platform CNC around 3 PM today. I still have a lot to do, but I feel like I am a bit out of the woods since it is operable again. You can see the insert in the background. Kind of like being able to see all of the metal bits for now....
Here you can see Ger21's Mach3 interface. The giant tool path preview window alone is worth the cost of admission...
I have executed the contingency plan. I sent the aluminum out for a waterjet cutting quote, if it can't get done in time I will have to use the thin steel ones. Still have to figure out the spindle clamp...
Rear view, I still have to attach the cable carrier...
Here is a detail of the leg...
View of the rear of the machine. I haven't been able to step back and have this view, because of how close it was to the wall.
That's it for now!
