Hi all,
Currently loving my machine but would like a smidge more cutting area so I've changed a few parts.
Here is how it currently sits. Y axis rails on 80x40 profiles which are bolted to a large 10mm thick aluminium plate.
I do get some vibration issues when milling. I can actually see swarf bouncing around on the aluminium base plate and the sound isn't great either.
I have a bunch of 40x40 aluminium profile i can use to make a "bed/base". How would this compare to the current build for rigidity?
Other things like steel gantry sides for bracing (to stop it tipping forward on the y axis) and steel side plates bolted to the frame to stop the y axis rails tipping inwards.
Would this help issues at all?
Thanks
Neal
