I can't tell you how many projects I've seen stall out and the OPs disappear. To see all the axis installed and running, simply outstanding. And those robotics images, holy ****.
Filling the gap while it's mounted or via the leveling technique you used on the bed?
And another way to look at wm's question is are there specific projects/products you have in mind?
Still working on the head design?
Just a little "tappy tap tap tap"
Crowbar against wall to remind the mill who's the boss.
I have some serious spindle envy now.. :(
Now you're just spoiling us! :p
A bit confused. The holes in the steel bar are for the linear rail or the bolts that anchor the bar into the base? Wasn't clear in that I see holes in the first...
Excellent suggestion and perhaps answers "why were they removed".
Make sure it powers on and variable speed works. Make sure it is stopped completely before trying to run in opposite direction. If that don't work (and it's not simple fix like the fuse), I...
I'm really not sure. I have zero experience or knowledge, yet. I assume nothing on that list as the pictures show exactly what I got.[/QUOTE]
Oh, you're missing the cross slide screw entirely,...

Man, you rock'n it!! What is the grove down the back for? I'm assuming the tubes are for counterweights?
I don't recall that you've touched much on the molds. Cutting with tablesaw? How are...
Placement of the holes suggest no, but you could drill from the side and fill with sand.
Yeah, 350KG is something you don't want hitting the ground, let alone your foot.
I've seen some designs that have pvc through the base for sliding through lifting rods or straps. Indents under...
Looking forward to seeing those forms stripped!! Fingers crossed!!
1) Make sure table is stout enough for the weight.
2) Brace the long sides so they don't bow outward from the pressure
3) Clay or caulking to radius the joints to help keep epoxy contained within...
Sihts about to get real!
Pizza oven?
They're to keep the water from contacting the nipple. You want to leave them in place, or replace the nipples with brass.

I see what you did there...
There's a harbor freight 25% off coming up for easter. Get some type of dust collection going and very carefully open and clean those bearings.

They appear to be the same height which makes it easy to route a bunch with a vacuum table. Lay out a bunch on a plywood panel. Draw the outline and some of the holes for alignment pins. Also...
Yes, the rail only has a hole for the bolt to go through. Something must anchor the bolt (and thus the rail) to the casting. You can think of the bar here as the insert in your drawering; only much...
What are you using for the water cooling?
Anchor a steel bar in the epoxy that the rail mounts to.
