Definately a scrapyard challenge

I know what your thinking, here's another of those that start a build log but do not build.

SURPRISE

I have started the rebuild. I have put registers into the top and bottom plates of the z gantry and started drilling and tapping to connect. The I used my home made
under the bench router table. I know it will not be with a tight tolerance but I kind of got the urge to do as much as I can on my own. That said its thank you to Jonathan for a fine pair of ball nut brackets and spindle mounts.
Do not expect this to be a speedy build. As you can see I have done 3 bolts so far.:whistling:

Just to let you know that this build is not dead I am thinking about the base. Steel box is 50 x 30 and 100 x 50. I intend to fix 10mm ally plate on top with an overhang that will support the screw/ motor. and give it some protection from debris. Therefore the rail and screw are fixed together and the critical factor should be lining up the left and right plates. Fillets will be added on the build.I really ought to start setting up the electrics now but this part does make me a little nervous so listen out for some stupid questions soon. :confused:Bruce
