Finished. DIY CNC

So i am about to upgrade the machine with the combination of epoxy granite and concrete in a hope to eliminate vibrations and damping and hopefully have even better cutting performance. I got high quality epoxy granite Rampf Epument 140/8b, but i have only 100kg of it so to gain more weight of the frame, i will use concrete too. I would like to hear opinions if this would work. On the picture attached you can see how i will do this. Blue color shows where i wont use EG(have only 100kg), dark shows tubes filled with EG and gray is concrete (beton). I will also fill the gaps on gantry with EG and put the EG under the table. Will this work?

Hi Matt

Your machine looks pretty stiff so for cutting aluminium faster I would have a go with mist coolant. Lots of posts on here about how to do it so you don't fog up the workshop. Do you have a compressor ?

Also it might not effect things greatly but the concrete will shrink a bit when dry so might pull away from the walls. I'd try the mist coolant first though.

Husky what happened next?

made some upgrades, here is recent: 7.5kw 24rpm eurospindel with other improvements. Steel table is not done yet but i might consider integrated turning table instead of that turning chuck.
