Cut one of the aluminium beams I have and use the piece to add stiffness to the L beam.

I made a pass from the table router and cut the aluminium angle straight , something that wasn't possible with the cutting grinder.
Aluminium angle is 5mm thick, I believe it is going to add something to the construction,I hope stiffness and not only weight!lol!!!

Nice ;)

**Nickhofen** · 30-12-2017

I use the end mill chamfering with sunk to prepare the holes,then screw the aluminium angle in place, the axis weight now 8.7 kilos.

I am planing to use Nema 23 4NM,any thoughts?

Good progress Nick!
You dont have to worry about the weight.. will be fine!
How do you plan on fastening the bearings?
Will you use the T slots or drill and tap the angle that you made?

Hi Robert.
I am planning to drill and tap ,the aluminum angle is 5.5 mm thick and made from hard aluminium,if that option fail I am going to use the T nuts.
I wish a Happy New Year for you and your family!
Happy New Year to all members of this forum!!
