Re: Triangular Gantry Beam
Ard, both - thread partly started to explore the theory, but mainly to build a mill.
I picked up a great base cheap. Old optical inspection machine base. Granite in a U shape i.e. high wall design. 600kg of precision granite that I picked for free (well had to hire a ute to get it home).
Walls are 300mm high (front top surface of the base plate). 670mm between the walls.
So I have need of a gantry about 1m long.
I am wanting to do this right (have already built a few routers, each better than the one before but still not satisfied). Servos. Ground ball screws. Etc
