    Re: VIDEO: fixed gantry cnc router build

    Thanks all!

    Kotyara -- i have not stress relieved, and yes now that you've brought it up I am worried.
    I haven't tried thicker steel.. my spindle is just way too fast. A homemade spindle is on my to-do list.
    I'm also very curious to get into steel.

    bhurts -- there are a ton of rubber band gun plans online.. I picked one i like and just sort of converted
    it for aluminum / springs instead of wood/rubberbands

    Adamj12b -- bellows are from McMaster, but they're more expensive that I expected. Luckily my gantry
    is 5.5" high, so I was able to cut a standard 12" width into two pieces to double the length. I don't see why
    good quality (but inexpensive) fabric blinds couldn't do the same job.. maybe some waterproofing spray.. but
    if they wear out.. you can probably cut quite a few more from what was left over.
