Driving the gantry on Z axis?

[Boyan Silyavski]

Stainless steel with moving gantry , may be , if the gantry was 2 tons, the spindle 20HP BT50 , ballscrews were 30 size and bearing blocks 35 size roller bearing.


These computers were testing me too. First broke my main one before 3 weeks. Changed disc to SSD. Great upgrade in speed and all. Then the one at the workshop learned and it also broke. Yesterday fitted it also with SSD . Good that my laptop has already SSD. Needless to say that after previous crashes learned my lessons so all CNC drawings are on mirrored discs + cloud storage

...Just gotta get a new computer

Got a new computer today, went out to get a cheapy and came home with a mac, ooopps!

Before I get too carried away thinking about my second machine, I need to start my first machine (hot wire) so that I can get the money for the second machine (and somewhere to build it)
