New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

[Desertboy]

One clamp is finished but not got enough m4's 20mm to finish the other one, need a trip to toolstation.

You can see how I intend to do it though, hope it works ok ;)

There's a 7mm gap under the clamp at the moment but going to drop 6mm MDF on top of the 18mm so the gap will be 1mm. I'm also considering ways to apply downward pressure in all 4 corners as well for maximum clampage ;)

These look uber cool

Have no idea how I would use them except to make a robot to deliver me tea ;)

My ballscrew came (3 weeks, no import tax) it's a lot heavier than the 16mm ballscrew it will replace, the motor on this axis I recovered so unsure of nm but it's the same size and weight to within a couple of grams of my 2nm motors. It's a 2010 screw with BF15/BK15's I have to have a good think if I should fit it to Betty or use it for an 8*4 build. If I do use it on Betty I'll play it by ear if I need to upgrade the motor.

Clamps are working nicely now ;)

Going to use Knurled head bolts so I can adjust tool free, will greatly reduce the time needed to set the clamps up.

These are for the T slot corners

will slum it with A2's and an allen key until they arrive.

Also will change the 2020 on the bottom to 2040 this will let mill closer to the edge of the part

2 flute carbide end mill, what bit do I need to get a better finish (Ripping) or it speeds? This piece of wood is at least 60 years old mate found it in a pile of wood his dad bought in the 1950's at auction. This piece of wood was far from flat lol. This is only pocket clearing with no finishing pass.

Also ordered a few

so I can have the most common collets I use fitted to save time when swapping tools.
