I have watched that too many times.

I hope you understand now ??

I see ... yes can do that, but is is really necessary (might be a bit awkward to set up)?

PS: Don't let Luke do the bolt up too tight on the transformer because that may damage the windings.

[luke11cnc]

No I suppose not but I will have to make the stepper mount bracket to accommodate the bolts

Give up your not kidding anyone.!! . . . . WE KNOW IT'S FOR YOU.:dance: . . .Can I have one Dad.:lol:


I have the proper clamp for that transformer if you need it, didn't realise I hadn't sent it.!

[luke11cnc]

yes Jazz you might be right

I was thinking more along the lines of copying it in aluminium but bigger and more lifting weight as it only lifts 100g max

even to the extent of copying the electronics so we have two

do you think this is do able ???

clamp would be good Jazz

Well today I've been over to see my very good friend Jonathan

and I lost a lot of money with out placing a bet or dealing a card
only joking mate

It still astounded me how much knowledge you have in your sweet head and put us fossils to shame.

I really wish I had a friend like you Jonathan growing up.

Any way Luke has just about given up on the CNC machine “Dad you will never finish it” I mean to prove him wrong


All the parts fit apart from the bearings on the supported rails But not a problem I will take them down the road and have them re-cut.

What a twat I am I gave you the wrong ballscrew mount but never mind I will have the mounts machined Jonathan

I will post more Photo’s this week and even a video of what to look out for when new members decide to build there own machine

James:rofl::rofl:

[luke11cnc]

well I've been in the garage again today and fitted a little bit more to Luke's CNC and I must admit it is coming together rather well.



The above image shows some items made by Jazz.

the M10 T-nuts work really well I could of gone with the M8's you can buy from JKN but I wanted to spread the load area a bit more.

I am also pleased with the supported rail clamps/guides that Jazz also made me shown in the above image they keep it square and true while Luke drills them.
