Thanks for the reply Jonathan, and I will space the X axis rails further apart.
So if I’ve got this right, this process should work.
- Position one of the X axis rails to the frame as straight and parallel to the frame as possible, using a taught wire or other method.
- Using a transfer punch mark the fixing positions of the rail support to frame.
- Drill, tap and mount rail, and recheck straightness.
- Roughly position second rail and mount a jig/fixture to the bearing mounting blocks on both rails, and slide back and forth adjusting the second rail until motion is smooth.
- Mark positions of fixing positions onto frame and drill, tap and mount second rail.
Maybe I could fix the FK support directly to the frame and amend the design to allow for an adjustable plate at the FF end.
Would I need to have the table made and fitted at this point to attach everything to it?
How would you ensure the rails were level vertically in the Z axis as this could result in the rails being like a wave. Should you shims or use some sort of leveling compound and how would you measure it?
