Giant 20' x 3' x 2' router build

[charlieuk]

managed to get the plates made through the forum so i can mount up the x and y carriages and all so some adapters to mount the ball screw blocks to the ali extrusion, its taken a while but now should be able to get the x and y properly rolling.

The next step is going to be best to mount the rack and how i am going to do the motor mounts and keep things relatively simple. I guess i will also need to decide what motors i am going to use so i can get the mounting holes ect right.

Any advice here would be great. From what i see some people are using a pivoting motor mount with a spring to keep it in tension and others are just having a ridged mount that you set the meshing and then leave alone.

I have found this in the usa but i was hoping to use mod 1 rack and it looks like that is made for mod 2.

any advice would be great and many thanks in advance for any info you guys can give

best regards charlie

ps if any one is in the sussex area and can lend any help or advice it would be very much appreciated and repaid any way i can.
