Warwick you there? hows it going man? The extra bit on your x axis, is that for a rotary axis? I want one!

[warwick]

hi ned, sorry i havent been about much....tables working fine,,,cutting with it most evenings.....yes the extra piece on my x axis is indeed for a rotory ...i havent really thought about the scribe or the rotory axis yet.......i get email notifications if you post or message,,,,

[ned]

aright man ) well done, good for you. I'm going to do the same, building the x axis out for a rotary axis. I want to be able to cut tube neatly. Lots of potential there.

i bought an 8x4 router table, and repaired it, stared at it good and proper, and now im feeling confident enough to start a fresh build and sell this one. I might hit you up for the gantry plates, going to use rack and pinion. can you cut alu? will pay of course. How do you even buy alu, its expensive as she**e! Yah rotary axis man, fun fun.
