    Laminated Beam

    Hi,

    Working on my next router. I was going to build David Steele's larger router using my Z axis build from his plans.

    I was not sure a 2" X 4" gantry beam would work well with my Z axis so I decided to build a new beam.

    I laminated a 2" X 2" aluminum channel to 3/4" fir. I sanded the aluminum, cleaned off any oil and glued with epoxy.

    I will use the same rail system David shows in his plans.

    There is a picture of my old router table that I will use parts off it for my new machine.
