Luke11CNC Build Log ,I'm so naïve

I now know where I went wrong Jonathan my drawings where based on 20mm material and the material is actually 19.050075 however we do have slotted holes so that should be ok

That would explain it yes. The only thing that worries me is these errors/tolerances all add up and could ultimately cause the remaining 1mm clearance you will have in the slot, if I make the ballnut mounts 30mm, to disappear. Still it's probably negligible...

Jonathan make it with the extra 1 mm as we can always mill it off if needed??

I now have 3 points on my licence and i was only going to the f***ing dentist

Speeding to the dentist, that's a bit keen!

I will do that.

Yes I was really poorly at Christmas (swine flu) and as a result I smashed three teeth as I hit the floor a bit to fast as I past out, But the pace maker kicked in and I came around pretty quick( go job it's working)

I also ended up in A&E at one point as I went over in the dentist (police and ambulance turned up) I felt such a fool.

The teeth cost me a small fortune £600.00 lab fee's alone glad I'm covered on denplan

NO It's always nice to see it from the very begining, shows others later how a build is ever changing and just what goes into building a nice machine, which I'm sure yours will turn into.

Leave it be. . is my vote.!

Hear hear.

OK Jazz it's just getting clogged up with silly comments by me and doesn't look very professorial at all
