First stock is ready to cut.
And the first parts are ready.

OK here are some details:
- The outer extrusions of the base are 40x80mm heavy type aluminum. The extrusions inside the base are 40x80mm light type but same.
- The front and rear walls of the base are 12mm thick 6061 aluminum.
- Profiles on the Y are 40x120mm aluminum extrusion. One is placed vertical and other is horizontal.
- I'll take apart my current router to use the electronics and linear stuff which are:
- 4 x Nema23 motors (I'd like to replace them with servos in the future)
- 15mm linear rail and blocks on X and Y axis
- 12mm THK linear rail and blocks on the Z
- I'll keep using my homemade control box (pic attached).
Forgot to mention. This is a 600x550mm machine.
Little more progress.
Unfinished Z and Y axis.
Looks Great!
Thanks Kev.
Nice renderings also. What program did you model it in?
Solidworks 2014

Just a little update. One of the plates was slightly bent. Had to make some pitbull jaws (I think they call it so) to fix the plate to the machine. Ran a faceing operation.

where did you buy the extrusions for the table top?

Looking good. Dont stop posting, your efforts are appreciated.
How did you bore the large holes in the plates? Surface finish looks excellent..
The holes are 4, 5, 6 and 10mm diameter. I used drill bits for them. As for the surfaces, I haven't run a finish operation. Just roughing. I think the carbide 6mm 2 flutes end mill did a good job.
I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
The bridge is coming out.
Azalin,
Beautiful Build! I'm using solidworks 2015 and have the same issue going on! No responses! Just so you know I really appreciate your time posting, it is really helping me in my design.
In your gantry it looks like you are using 10series 80/20 2x4 (or 15 series), how did you cut your extrusions? used a chop saw? or band saw?
What is the length across the gantry?
