Hi All

Its been a while since I posted on my machine build, alas not enough time.

At last I have mounted the rails.
I am extremely pleased with the results. the method I designed works as planned.

I was able to position and drill the rails to within +- 0.001mm parallelism and straightness compared to my straight edge. When the machine is finally set up maybe this can be improved upon.

Yes I know that temperature effects etc will mean the the final accuracy of the machine will not be as good as this. However today the dial indicator only moved +- one 0.001mm division.
