so, today I had to clear the CNC project to one side to do some paid work

I cut this stack of MDF to make 2 house shaped bookcases, which is the kind of thing I make most of my living off

This is the stack



it's one of the things I want to cut by CNC

the finished item looks like this



this one was ordered with rainbows for a children's therapy room.

anyway, I'll assemble them tomorrow.

I got the Y carriage mostly built later today

I dado'd out for the bearing trucks, based on Ger's answer to my other post. Thanks Ger



The bolt head were a little proud, so I ground them on the belt sander





for a nice fit



I made a torsion box at the top, and a removable bottom plate for dissassembly.
A threaded rod just above the bearings for the pre load adjustment
I might make a fitted side plate if it needs stiffening (to stop nodding), will know more tomorrow when the glue has dried



it rolls pretty well

I'll connect the screw assy tomorrow, then to start on the Z

I hope to make some sort of 1st cut by the end of this week :wee:
