    The day has come and I have finally started my 3-axis Gantry router build. I've been lurking on the forum for too long now and its time to do this. Firstly thanks to all the forum members who have contributed to the design - Jazz, John & HiltonSteve who inspired me with his build all those years ago. Attached are some 3d renderings and pics of stuff. Currently doing lots of drilling holes and counterboring in ali strip and plate for the bolts etc.
    Basic machine specs are:

    3-axis 1100 x 700 x 300 ballscrews.
    SBR20 on X SBR16 on Y & 7
    Frame from 80x40mm heavy and intermediate extrusions (2.8 and 4kg/m)
    Plate - Gantry sides 20mm cast plate 5083
    Z axis - Tooling plate cast 5083
    Frame Ends 15mm plate 6060

    3.1Nm Steppers CNC Kit 1 from Zapp

    Photos taken in a unit my neighbour has - did'nt trust the runout on my pillar drill with M8 clearance drill.

    Watch this space for more pics as build progresses
