Whell finally got all of my slide components for the XYZ just not sure now on its order I was going to build the Z mouvement with the flanged 1/2'' bearings it will be i litle more work in the design for strengh and ridgidety
And the 1/2'' thomson bearings with suported 21'' rails for the Y mouvement
And finaly 3/4'' thomson 30'' long for the X mouvement , this one I am a litle reluctant because there is no support in the midle.
Can anybody make some sugestions here I am willing to shage the configuration of these bearings or even buy different ones, i am building a mouving gantry and want to cut out some alluminum and get into 3D carving.
I am planig to use a 1/4'' Makita trimer router it to fast forthe aluminum but plan on using a variac toslow it down to 1600 K if it does not burn out i am using also 253 once stepers power- max2
Please give me some advise as far slide components especialy the Z axis will it be stron enoughf and not vibrate with 5 inches of travel to facilatate the tool shaging
Thanks Guys
