desertboy - I think I ended up adding the colour, but I'm not entirely sure.


Small bit of progress today.

First up the main bed needed trimming down a couple of mm in width... decided easiest way was to use a hand router and guide rail. I finished by just popping a 1.5mm chamfer on all sides and giving it all a little tickle with some 240 grit on the orbital.










And 3d printed the Y-axis sensor mounts










Also designed and now printing a drill jig for the bed plate corners. I'll make the brass drill bushing on the lathe.
