Got the slots for motor mounting milled last night(forgot to snap some pictures, will do on monday). But this morning i got a crazy idea of just tapping motor mounting holes instead of using bolt and nut. Does anyone see problem with doing that? The holes are drilled correct size for M6 tap, which is nice.

So my question is: Is there any reason for not doing it this way?

[Greolt]

Will you still be able to adjust belt tension?

[rustamd]

Yes, it would work exactly same way, just no nut on top...

not sure what you are asking here.. sorry

i mean what parts of a heavy duty vehicle might i be able to use??
i know i can get high grade bearings,rods and stainless steelfor the buil which i would normally not be able to afford, but powerfull motors maybe??what else should i be thinking is what m asking.

Have been pretty busy with work around the house for last few weeks. Got little more work done on router mount. All thats finished to do on it is weld some brackets and weld pipe to C channel.





Also this is what i'm going to do for table: 1.5"x1.25x.25 square tubing. either welded or bolted togheter, reason for doing this this way is that i got few sections of that square tubing for free:wee:



Hopeing to get some welding done tonight...

time to update this thread once again. I did get the table welded that time. Here are few pictures:







that is some Corian on top. The table still needs to be surfaced, hopeing to do it some time soon.

also was wondering which way is better to post pics? clickable thumbnails or full size?

I have also been working on wiring the controller. How i'm going to run wiring is from controller everything will have separete plug, then when it gets to machine it will have one big plug. I have been useing CPC connectors made by AMP. Here are few pics of harness making proccess:

Since i'm going to run computer and drives i one enclosure i had to make small parallel cable, about 12"

[rustamd]

forgot to mention that everything will be in rack mount drawer, 3U

rustamd, that all looks really really great. It looks like your showing off your nice aluminium welding, was that done with Mig? Its NICE.

i mean what parts of a heavy duty vehicle might i be able to use??

Wow thats an open question.....maybe lots of nuts and bolts, steel plate, belts, gears. Could you get a strong vacuum pump that you could rig up somhow? Perhaps some sort of cannon just to sit on top and look cool... ... Let your imagination run wild!

[rustamd]

Thank you. All welding was done by my friend, TIG, he asked to show it off

Time to bring this old thread back up. After long break from buiding machine, $ problems and health problems I'm starting to work on it once again, last couple days I worked on cable guides, machine is almost ready, just need to run wiring/hook up limit switches/ double check controller, its been like 2 years since i looked into cnc stuff, got to make sure its all ok and hoping to make some chips soon, will get some updates pics soon aswell
