Hi Lee
would love to say yes but I bought them from Merchant Dice, had I looked harder at them first I would have made them, but I didnt, as you can see Im in the middle of making the carrage to go on the bearings on the rails. My new boring head should be here tomorrow, the old one seems to have grown legs and run off to join all my snap on tools from over the years,

Have you got any thoughts on painting it yet?
I keep resisting the temptation to waft Ambersil over the exposed iron on mine hoping a miracle paint will show up. Can't stove it, can't find epoxy paint.
It looks sturdy enough, perhaps you might christen it The Bismark :D

Paint, Paint, you seem to think I already have enough weight, well I didnt want some flimsy bolted together jobbie, I want it to stop from full speed without ratteling around, I also want to put a milling head and a router on it so it needs to be sturdy, so it was all tig welded
I have a electrostatic spray gun so I may just put smooth hammerite on it, or there again if I think I have enough power in the motors and they will take the extra weight, I may just have it powder coated

Hi Steve
Fine workmanship, i'm thinking along the same lines myself, although i really need a 8 x 4 table, can you tell me where you got the electronic gubins from. Sorry the engineering bit comes easy, it's the electronics that get my knickers in a twist.
