operation cnc

[kingcreaky]

I'm currently in a mexican standoff over clearing the garage out. :(

You don't seem to have listed a spindle, bucket, water pump, hoses & clamps for water pump, limit switches, homing switches, cable for the switches, PC, software or any end mills?

To start with, Im going to use a pencil!!!. I figure I cant cause any damage that way!. Il order one of these 2.2kw jobbies once Ive sold my wife. I also have a contact into coffee vending machines who can supply me lots of gear for this type of thing
hmmm.. limit switches etc Im going to get it working first, then get that bit sorted once I understand it a bit more
Got PC, Software (mach3, and linuxcnc on dual boot) and I work for the biggest industrial supply firm in the country. so tooling is no issue & cheap


re-bracing...
That is exactly my plan!. Im also putting some diag bracing on the frame... I was also thinking on the shoulders of the gantry... coming forward....
