Hello Folks,

I've been lurking on this and other CNC forums for a while, thought it was about time I 'showed my face'. I've begun building my own CNC router, I also want to try a bit of REPRAP printing with it also.

I started to build a skate bearing / Ali angle design, but wasn't entirely happy so abandoned it. I've never been able to simply follow instructions, and am always looking to build a better mouse trap.

My new machine is being built on a shoestring, so utilising what I have to hand I've come up with my own design of bearing which looks promising. This should hopefully provide more rigidity and a more compact design while still keeping costs as low as possible.

I'm keeping a build log at my site:- http://www.chickfamily.net

I'd love to hear any comments suggestions or advice on the design.

Many Thanks in advance

Peter
