1200mmX900mmX170mm 4axis cnc

I remember that,we discuss it also with Zeefleeboy but at BST Automation there is a photo that show that the length at the description is the total length.
Did I misunderstand something, maybe I have to check with Fred from BST.

OK when you quote for the screw you tell him the total length (including the F length) and say what F length you want, the standard is about 15mm but that is not enough so ask for the F length to be 30mm (this is the bit where the pulley will fit).

If you PM me your list I will format it for you so that Fred will understand it. You also have to ask for grease nipples.

I am ready to pull the the treager and place order for the rails and balance. I am thinking to use 1610 for X axis and for Y and 1605 for Z, should I go for 2010 for the long axis 1200? Will I gain something?
X axis is going to have two balscrews and two motors, and I am planing to cut wood and aluminium also!

Nick I run 1610 on my long axis with two motors and 1250mm cutting length on X without problems.

Thanks Clive, I will order 1610 then!

I totally missed the grease nippel. Does anyone know where to get some? :)

Not really an update but I have a good finding that I would like to share.
A friend of mine gave me three of those aluminium beams that he found as reinforcements in a box that had inside a big ladder !
It is like early Christmas, how can I use them at my build ?
First think that came to my mind is to cut the small square tube, the one that is weld perpendicular to the long one and use it as base for the motors and cut longitudinal the long part ,and use it as a support to L beam of Y axis?
Any thoughts ?

Thanks for the tip. Turns out I had some in my shed, turned out nice :D
Still haven't found any local place to buy suitable lithium grease :(
