Morning guys, Wells its been a while. And my choice of building a machine turned into buying one, the simple reason at the time, i felt i lacked some skills needed. Welding and no on hands skills work with metal.

But over the past few years ive learned to weld, and practice alot with metals. The machine i got was an emach250r, i paid very little for it, under £1000 as it was in many many bits, and was sold for spare or repair. This gave me a great opportunity to learn and build up a machine, so to speak.

The machine works runs, and has treated me well so far, but and a big but i reached the limits of the machine, and started finding many faults with the way it had been designed. so i set about rebuilding it again, but to higher standards. first up was a complete rebuild of the gantry. Im am about finished, just some tweeks to the z to do.
