Holding brake needed on a 4/5th axis when using a harmonic drive?

Will it work? Yep. And the OP, if this thing ever gets built, will work out what the actual limitations of using it are.

Well...



Pic is just after I poured the epoxy a couple days ago. It's starting to cool off here in Ohio so I hurried up and got the frame together so I could get the epoxy down before winter. Checked it today with my 36" straight edge and except for the weld seams where the epoxy is a little deeper and shrunk more, I couldn't get a 0.0015" feeler gauge to go so I am pretty happy. Gonna bring home my 0.0005" level home from work tomorrow and see where I'm at.

I should really start a build log since this isn't really the right sub-forum for this.

Did you say Ohio?

Care to share what part?

Ahh. Close, but not close enough to Ashtabula for a mid-week garage night.

Yeah its a bit far to drive for, admittedly, not much to see.
