    hi

    thee is also the possibility of extending it
    .

    If so, you may wish to consider the rotating ballnut design for driving your X

    now toying with a 4th axis to make columbs instead of building another machine.
    Have you played much with the software, because there are options for 2 sided machining, and it would be a lot easer to do columns with 2 sided machining than rotating it. 4th axis is well worth doing, but if you specificaly want colums, or anything of that weight, you would be better doing a vertical machine just for them.

    I would have a play with some of the software, meshcam ( free trial ) is a good bit of software to start with if you want to see what 2 sided machining can achieve, the learning curve of the software is reletivly easy as well

    Definatly sticking with R&P can get it to .04 most of the software I have used is lettercutting on various machines Ive looked at vertical machines and they are simple to make.. 4 axis is a secondary thought but may still.
    so will take your advice and have a look at some software, I suspect I shall have the machine finished in about 4 months at the rate im going.
