I really enjoyed this build so far. I have garage envy

Looking forward to seeing chips.

Thanks Luke, it must be one of the slowest builds on cnczone but I'm making more progress now that I have the garage set up and work on my car should ease up a bit now it's (hopefully) reliable.



The space is looking a bit messy but by the end of this week I'll have it back to neat and tidy (I hope).



I made the X axis ballscrew mount and drilled and tapped the gantry to attach it.

Also I've made a start on the Y axis table



Ideally the table would just be one 25mm thick (or thicker) piece of aluminium, but I'm doing this on a budget so I'm using 50x50x2.0 steel and I'll use rivnuts to attach the sacrificial MDF top to it. Not ideal but it can always be updated later, the most important thing for me at the moment is to get a functioning machine.
