Thanks for this info! I bought the stuff and applied it and it seems to be holding tough, but the true test will come when I have motors in my machine!

So here are some pictures for this slow moving project!

Made some custom pillow blocks, and finished the Y/Z Gantry! Almost done with all the structural/mechanical stuff, i'm slowly getting ready for the electrical stuff now!

Sorry for the slow progress to anyone who is following this.









Almost forgot!

here is an updated CAD picture! Even modeled the 2.2KW Spindle i'm hoping to use!
