Hi Clive S.


Hahah no, no movement yet.

Progress is slow.

Work related issues use up near all of my time. Well it pays for the bills.


I am still working on the gantry.
I need to get some bracing in, in the gantry uprights. Also i need to finish beefing up the mounting surfaces, some welds need finishing.



When all that is done the big pour is next.


After that a lot of big decisions are to be made.

I am near ready to order the linear parts.

I need advice on ballascrew end machining for pulley's.


Also .. will quality angle bearing bf bk type blocks fixed / float setup do?

Does one gain lots of rigidity by going fixed fixed? is it much more complicated to setup ?

I am now designing based on fixed/float setup.

So maximum speeds vs screw rpm vs pitch vs screw length and diameter are based on fixed float.


Grtz. Bert
