3 Axis Router

[JoeHarris]

It has been said many times before, but if you are planning on using epoxy to level the x axis beams, you are going to want them wider than 50mm, 80mm works well. Also I wasted a lot of time with bolts - just weld it all, would be my advise. Another lesson from my build is get box section with thick wall - 5mm not 3mm as it will tap much more securely. Why do you need so much travel on z? it will be hard to maintain rigidity at that length. I also have real issues accessing the y and z axis ballnuts to grease them - make sure you figure that out now! Good luck with the build, this forum is great for keeping you on the straight and narrow!

Bloody hell Joe that threads from 2013 I think the epoxy will have gone off by now if Jim hasn't done it yet..
