El Beast - Initial design phase, comments and critique welcomed!

[Chaz]

So re-visted my end plates with the correct size stock this time...

I also tweaked the designs a little, adding a port for the limit switch wire to the top plate and changed the bottom plate to accept a standard FF12 bearing mount (along with some room for adjustment).

(correct size!!!) stock:




First op done and bolted down




Top side ops done




Bottom sides:








And the back section of the Z-axis is looking a bit more complete! Still needs limit switch installing, side plates and seals machining up, then I can move on to the main front plate and tramming plate.








Good view of top seals:

Excellent work as usual.
