And getting a bit closer to being finished

Now for some detail.
It has a cutting envelope of 485mm by 485mm by 110mm and uses actuators on all three axes. A neat and quick way to build a machine.
The cranked gantry is used to bring the weight back over the X axis linear bearings and also to shorten the table.
The table has a push pull fastening system that uses grub screws to adjust the height of the table and socket head screws to hold it down. A quick adjustment with a dial gauge on Z axis got it within 2 thou and I hope to improve on that in a week or so after it all settles down.
The table has a gap of 50mm between the sides to allow for side clamping.
The gantry sides and panels for the driver board were cut on one of my earlier machines.
I use die grinders on all my machines as I have found them to be more robust than a router. This one is a Milwaukee 1/4 inch variable speed.
I am using 269 oz steppers and expect 3metres/min based on previous builds using this combination.
I'll post back when it is finished.
