Hello everyone!
There still seems to be some slight disagreement whether a VFD spindle works or not haha
I'm still not decided yet. Will continue my build and get back to thinking about the spindle further into it.
Today I started to cut the 32mm plywood I had laying around. Front and back covers as well as X Axis main plate are cut, just finished the ball screw bearing holders today after buying a sliding mitre saw to get proper perpendicular cuts $$$
Unfortunately, I know I will be a few cm too short of the 32mm ply to make all necessary parts. Really annoying. So will have to rethink which of the parts I need to glue together to make 2x15mm = 30mm thickness instead.
Tuesday I will be getting the 15mm plywood sheets and a 19mm MDF blockboard for the spoilboard/wasteboard.
Will utilise my tax return refund to buy all the hardware - quite convenient timing!
Cheers
Dan
