CNC Router V1.0 (For Cutting Multiple Materials)

They are 23's. I think the model I am using has a particularly long body.

I agree with the ballscrew mount. Could make it 20mm plate (from 15) or increase that joint some other way...

Not touched the mechanical design for a while as I got distracted down the route of designing my own stepper driver...

So here's a small update. I'm feeling quite bad for how much this is looking like one of JAZZ's machines! Believe it or not I am not trying to copy you Clive!

I am still not happy with the way I have the Y axis plates attached to the steel box section. Think I need to come up with something better?...

Believe it or not I am not trying to copy you Clive!

If you was, I would be more than excited,

but I don't see the resemblance to mine if it is me you are referring too. ..Clive

I think the end is nearly in sight!!

All steel plate is currently 3mm ("Y axis "end stops" and end plate attaching bed), should I make this thicker? Will there be any problems welding it to 3mm thick box section? I have a friend who works at a laser cutting place so I'm hoping to get those pieces cut there.
