So what your saying is it's better too insert aluminium bars and have them milled for the linear rails than use steel. Just about to purchase supplies for mine

All good. You spoke about thermal dissipation and how alu was a better choice on your Facebook post so was just curious.

What did you insert for mounting the linear rails? Steel or Alu? And why did you choose that?

Negative or realistic?

Quite possibly meant inches, I just assumed he meant MM when everything else was in metric. But 25micron is a lot more achievable

If you want a 1 micron tolerance and this is your first build I don't think it's going to happen, not being negative but take a look at KERN, they build some of the most accurate machines in the...

Very nice, would you be able to do a video on how you fit the way covers and how you measured up the covers to fit?

Thanks Chris

I think you'd need more than 14.69psi to pull resin through a 200mm+ aggregate block.

Did you buy the tslot table somewhere or have it made?

How long do you leave the Cast in the oven for to cure?

Thanks

Is the t slot table steel?

I saw a mention to a mark Muller vmc build but can't find it? Could someone kindly provide a link.
Thanks

Really looking forward to seeing the results, keep up the good work. The company that makes the silimax stuff especially designed for EG casting?

Ah k. So it's not all sand there is a percentage of gravel, having bigger sizes around the 4-6mm means you can use a lower percentage . Look forward to seeing the results.

If using just sands it usually requires a higher epoxy ratio around 14% but interested to see your experiments.

I would spend more time making money than trying to make consistent tool holders.

I wouldn’t bother. You can buy them for $20-30 of aliexpress.

Looks pretty good can’t wait to see more

@pippin88 the construction is OK to average, like I have mentioned before there's tight spots thru the dove tails the paint is flaking and chipping all over the place, the top of my dovetails has a...

Hi Guys
Well I got some milling done today on the CNC Router, Its all going really well but i sure am looking forward to flycutter capabilities, So I have me endplates done, My Mount for me Nema 23...

Hi guys
Got my closed loop stepper motors today. I got one 1200oz nema 34 and 2 570oz nema 23 stepper motors. They look really nice and it came with all the wiring so it is very much plug and play...

Hi Ray.
I have been looking at those from homanndesigns as my first option and using a UC100 controller as well, that to me seems like my cheapest option. I just didn't feel it was critical to go...

So I have ordered all my ballscrews and stepper motors today so I will take pictures of those when they come in.

My questions is which breakout board to get. On my previous builds of CNC routers...
