Glad to see your new thread going off with a BANG. Nice pictures. Makes me drool just looking at them. Dig up some of those pictures of the Hiwin full machine and show them off. It really is a good design.
George I just finished mouting my drives/controller in the cabinet. I'm ready for the machine now..hahaha.

'cabinet came from eBay for $80. Fresh coat of paint and good as new.:-)
Cool, do you remember what you searched for?Quote:

I thought about welding my own up but its probably cheaper to just buy one ready to go online. I have plenty of room to expand in the future as my needs change with the machine. George has designed a nice frame/machine and with my controller cabinet I should have a very flexible and capable machine.
I saw in the other thread that someone was milling aluminum at DOC of 4 and 6mm and the results looked a little rough but not horrible. Hopefully that shows the rigidity of the machine and what it can handle. I want to mill aluminum with my Hiwin Raptor and while I dont need huge DOC, more is certainly better. :-D
Sweet! Looks a lot like polished 40"x60" parts.Quote:

I sent a few emails this week to find out if you shipped my machine on Monday like you said you would. Not sure if your email is different yet but please shoot me a message and let me know the status. Hopefully at least on here I will be sure you get my communication.
THanks
Matt
Same here, have you shipped the remainder of my parts yet?
HERE is a open forum for the machines and info for people to use and get help
