I was thinking something along these lines. http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab278/shayn8103/Moddedgasspring2_zps60b3f8ea.jpg...

Yes it is a tight space! There is going to be a vertical beam removed and replaced with a header here pretty soon. That and another wall knocked out. That will make more room. What you can see is...

Any recommendations for the concrete mix for my legs?

A little more work today.

I'm thinking the same. The air compressor could loose power or a hose could fail or or or.........I think the shock would be pretty reliable. I do need to find out what amount of tension needs to be...

That setup will run me about $70 I can also go this direction which would most likely be cheaper and have a couple less parts but I'm not sure if it will be as maintenance free? What do you think I...

Dang no love tonight?

This is the one I'm interested in. Midwest Rapid Tool Just dawned on me............it's late! I have a very nice Super PID that would pair up with that and probably make a killer setup!!

I still have not decided weather to put the rails on 4 or 6" centers?

No input from anyone?

Well it's been a good and bad day. It started off with a spilled drink and a corrupted external hard drive that had all my cad and machining info on. :eek: On the good side my ballscrew showed up and...

I can see what you guys are saying! I just can't seem to visualize a better way to do it unless I add a bunch of metal to the side of the table to get the Gear rack out where it needs to be. Can you...

Well.............I just received a box and a tube from CNC Router Parts!! Inside was 3 52" lengths of gear rack 3 Pro Pinion units and 12 rack mounts. I have to say these look and feel like QUALITY...

I'm thinking something along these lines for R&P placement.

Nice looking build!! I can't wait until mine is this far along!!

To heck with the bearings this is what I want my cnc to ride on! magnetic linear motor - Google Search

I was looking at the Pro. Didn't even think to look at the standard. Thanks much!!

One of the Hiwin rails I have has some rough bearing balls. I'm thinking about replacing them with ceramic balls. Is there anything I need to look at when choosing ceramic?

Hey guys

I was wondering if anyone has or knows where I can get a 3d model of CNCrouter parts R&P 3d model?

I have already priced it out. I was able to get 6 20mm round rails for less than the hiwin rails. Believe me I wanted the profile rails but couldn't afford what was needed. This machine will be doing...

Couple more pics of my drawing I changed it just a bit again. I moved two of the rails to the sides. I'm going to see if I can get the R&P to mount inbetween the rails. I think that may help keep...
