3 Axis CNC router

**JoeHarris** · 25-02-2017

Following on from the pictures in the previous post above, another short video of the dry run assembly of the z axis below: https://youtu.be/_0nJBaUaBBA

I still need to make the bracket which fits between the top bearing mount and the z motor mount, the bottom bearing plate and the front z axis plate where the spindle will be mounted.

I'm going to open up the holes on the plates which pull the z bearings forward to allow better alignment. Align them with one another using the dial indicator... the problem is then I cannot get to the bolts which fix the vertical plate to the bearing plate to get that adjusted - wish I had foreseen these problems when designing the thing! Nothing some shims can't fix?!

getting close now joe!! great build.... if this is your first machine the feeling you get when your creation first comes alive is very strange ...

Joe, that's one mighty fine looking CNC machine, I've enjoyed the build so far and now looking forward to seeing the first chips flying in the not too distant future!!
