Well that’s something worth of looking after and taking notes for further builds! I really like the column ribbed design which will definetly add towards the overall ridgidity. And it’s great to see someone finally added a few mm more to the base width and mounted Y rails as wide as possible to avoid unnecessary X bed overhanging.
Truly, great build my friend!
I’m sure all this attention to machine structure will greatly reflect the end machining results.
By the way, the finish on column casting really looks great!
And I like the way you planed for self-machining the fixture plate. Definitely the best way in my opinion.
Few questions:
1.) What is the square opening on the column for?
2.) Which brand and accuracy grade of ballscrews & rail type did you use?
3.) How will you align the column towards the Y? Measuring it with granite angle surface plate or...?
Once again, congrats on everything you have achieved so far & I’m definitely looking forward and wishing for even more updates on everything you do!
Of course some vodeo inputs would be even more appreciated
Thank you once again for sharing all this with us & inspiring others to take a leap in such beautiful and valuable creations!
Wish you all the best and may all the $/€ gods be with you!
