Got it home today ( on front, not in workshop yet ).
Ha, ah i can laugh now, these are a nightmare to move on skates over uneven ground, every fiber in my body is screaming, even my eyelids acke.Placing the machine in position (pallet truck and machine skates) took some doing
Yes, all in ace nick thanks, no play, al round solidMy machine uses the spinning nut on the long axis and standard (all very heavy duty) turning ballscrew on the Y and Z. I suspect that your machine is very similar.
I purchased this one to help me accuratly mark out and drill the parts for a machine jig, to build another machine that have designed that requires extreemly accurate bolt positions. So i needed a long heavy machine to bolt the jig markers to the base. I have a sort of different idea about Z axis, after spending a few weeks trying to understand its limitations on forces from all directions ( so same design Z can be used for 5/6 axis heads, or rock solid, 3 axis head that will take an impactor head. I will put up the design when i have built the Y/Z cartridge properly, on my build log.These machines are real workhorses and I hope to hear that yours is once again earning its keep. Good luck. Geoff.
am probably going to ask you a few questions on that, experience beats hours of reading, and helps avoid wrong turnsthe machine is that the controller only recognises .XPI input.
