ynneb, I have extended the length of the trucks/carrages on the long length of the table. They are now 1m in length. I have also bolted the gantry that goes left and right to the 1m long carrages that go forwards and backwards. There is a fair bit of weight there so I do not think that this will be a problem, but hey...I'm only new and learning as I go.
ynneb, you also seem to have a bit of experience with the Rutex drives. I am going to use my table with an oxy first to save me spending big dollars on buying a 3phase plasma cutter just yet. I am particularaly interested in the plasma a/b board they have for sale with thc built in. Can I just use this board for oxy now then later on use if for a plama cutter?
What do you think are the bits that I should get to make this thing move? Can you give me some advice on what power supplies to buy, what servo motors to buy and what rutex products to buy?
Anyone else that knows a bit please tell me what you think I should use.
Cheers Peter
