Tidied my mill up

I managed to keep the traverse on mine with the casting I made. I'll make a new one soon to mount the nema34 motors.

wow thats a really nice mount kip !

Nice :D

Did you make that without cnc? That was my problem, needed cnc to make cnc.

I currently have both axial bearings at the handle end, want to change that to one either end so I can stretch the screw with cup spring washers.

Haven't figured out how to do that on the Y axis yet, I think it will have to include it's own braces all inserted through a much enlarged hole where the spindle enters.

How did you do the Z? I replaced the depth stop with a screw. I insert a fat bolt when I want to fix the quill to it. I nearly demolished it once, locked the spindle but forgot to remove the fat bolt before applying a sledgehammer to the drawbar. Luckily the screw was up to it. Jap screw :D

best
