    Just a question do i need to bolt the machine to the floor ? do i need to put rubber between the bottom of the legs and the floor to have the less vibrations?
    No. No need to bolt the machine to the floor I have mine on castors but when it is in place I lift it off the floor on wooden blocks otherwise it would walk about.

    Like Clive, my machine sits on wooden pads under each of the adjustable feet, which can be lifted to make use of the castors. The plan was to make the machine mobile so I can pull it away from the wall if I needed to work on long lengths of material. Wood or hard rubber (like the commercial adjustable feet) are fine.

    those carts how many kg can they carry , because my gantry is becoming very heavy.

    i got a lot of work done this weekend

    the machine has finaly got the rails mounted and they run very smooth
    the gantry rails mounted
    everything is welded and made grinded for paint
    next weekend i will paint the machine

    then i need to move the machine on its right place level

    mount the r&p, the motor's, drivers etc so a lot of work but i am very happy with the result so far

    a couple of my friends where shocked to see this

    thx

    its still a lot of work but i hope everything will work out very good.

    https://www.cnc4you.co.uk/Stepper-Mo...-4-Axis-Nema23

    is this the best set for the machine?

    there will be a lot of replies that say "68V PSU and AM882 drivers." I agree - you are building a good machine so don't spoil it by using under-powered motors. Those motors themselves would be fine but they will really deliver better performance at a higher voltage and drivers to match.

    SO 68V PSU and AM882 drivers is the better opion then?

    the steppermotor's are they ok and i can mount them directly to the rack&pinion ?

    or do i need to use a gearbox of some sort?

    Well its bean a very long time since i last came here ...

    Shortly after I started working out the CNC machine, I bought a land, bought a wife a year later and married a year later
    and start building a year later.
    Our house is now finished and in the meantime I have been able to finish everything due to the corona crisis and finally had some time to continue working on my cnc.
    The frame of the cnc is built in a steel tube of 80x80x4 and is 3200x1760.
    I have a milling range of 2760x1240.
    it has round supporting guidance and works with R&P system (direct drive). the nema 23 motors are pulled against the rack by a spring.
    the software i use is estlcam with an arduino uno.
    I personally find estlcam a very user-friendly software.

    Now I still had some minor problems including:
    the gear does hit the rack but at some point it slips, what could be the reason?

    If I put the machine home (at a rather low speed) at the x axis it goes to 0 and goes back a bit
    on the other side the other motor (X2) runs very slowly and if the machine is homed then it seems to me that the X2 motor "jumps" back 1 cm. What could be the reason for this?
    if I have the machine home so X0 Y0 Z0 estlcam software says that I sometimes have distance and step loss could this also be due to the gear or the smaller limit switches?

    regards
