Slightly redesigned the gantry sides using the original. Will also be building a enclosure to keep the mdf dust in.
Problem is the noise that my cheap router was making was from the lower bearing. So will need to buy another router to continue the redesign.
Machine was cutting quite well except found out it was loosing acuracy due to the bearing making the router cut in an slightly oval shape.
Next on the list is a router. Still deciding on either a kress fme 800 or a trend t4. The trend is cheaper to service.
Also decided on upgrading all axis to trapezoidal although cant decide on 10x2 or 12x3.
Lee, can you make trapezoidal delrin nuts?
Aslo can my 1.85 motors run trapezoidal screws? Do they have enough torque?Last edited by progomez; 10-03-2009 at 10:08 PM.
