Pig farmer building a wooden CNC. Crikey

[Bluebird]

Mama thinks I should be spending more time building her kitchen and less time on the CNC. Hmmmm BOOOO. lol Just kidding she is worth it.

My next entry might take a little longer unless I burn more midnight oil. :0

Hey thanks for stopping by and having a look! Suggestion, comments and questions are welcome

Cheers – Jeff

P. S. I'm really having fun with this!!

Edit:

A Pic to help answer a question. :)

As the aluminum track wear’s, the roller bearings will need to be adjusted.
As I tried to explain in pic 20 but didn’t do a very good job :( the bottom bearing bolt hole is slotted for up and down movement, a bolt and spring are inserted from the bottom to add a fair amount of pressure to seat the bottom bearing to the track, then the bearing nut is tightened.

When the track starts to wear a quick loosen of the bearing nut and the spring will push the bearing tight up against the track again and then just re-tighten the bearing bolt again.

Hope that makes sense. lol



Getting some of the ruff components spruced up a little while waiting for some fat washer and longer bolts.



Trying to keep the tolerances to minimum, only about a 1/16” between the gantry carrier and the guild rail.
