A sufficiently strong machine

[Boyan Silyavski]

I am tinkering on the design, as i find it great. I am wondering if i can build something similar, simplifying it a bit?

Like:
- 2 x 100x100 steel box for the gantry
-The bearing blocks and rails on the gantry to be at the upper side/or at the lower side/ so i can use epoxy and level them easy
-2x ballscrews at the gantry near the rails

What worries me most is the Z, making the z box and adjusting rails and fitting everything in place there. maybe using some ready box section and fit the spindle inside and fix the bearing blocks to the sides of it.

Absolutely brilliant machine and many thanks for posting the project Jonathon. Will you be posting the files and costings on here?

Ive read The thread a couple of time and watched the video A very inspiring thread.

That is impressive well done.

This is a great machine and it has sparked off some ideas for the design of my first build. Thanks for the detailed posting. VERY useful.

How did I miss this when it first came out? Maybe I didn't miss it, maybe it's my ancient memory box fading again. Whatever I like it

Certainly is your crusty box robin because I remember Jonathan pointing you here when we had that little "Routers can't cut metal" debate.!! . .
