Well here goes... Aluminium frame router design

[Clive S]

Well.....after a very long hiatus I'm finally back on it 😁 last night I poured the resin after a week of making sure my box section was water tight........success 😁 I have noticed a couple of very tiny air bubbles but other than that it looks pretty good.

Very nice Charlie, Just don't strip it to quick, leave it a week.

Yeah don't worry, i'm going to leave it until Saturday/Sunday although I have had a horrible thought...I should of leveled the ballscrew mounts rather than the rails prior to pouring!! Only time will tell how close they were so its a week of waiting.

Where has Dean gone? He used to help out loads on here but I haven't seen anything of him.

Cheers, Charlie

Hi Charlie

Looking good. Reminds me of when I did mine last year - glad it’s all behind me now!
On the ballscrew mounts if they are onto the bare metal ( the unleveled section) then you will have to shim them in later using something off the gantry or carraiges to get each end at them same height. Should be OK as you’ve done the hard bit which is getting the rail surface right.

Well the pour went well and I've now painted the frame but I need an engineers straight edge to setup and check how straight my rails are. Anyone know if these can be hired? Hopefully the build will start to pick up the pace now as I've ordered lots of stuff 😁.

The AXBB-E certainly looks nice ��

Made some progress on the control box but ive just checked the voltage of my toroidal transformer and its 75v �� is there anything i can use to drop the voltage to 68v or do i need to find a 2 x 23v toroidal transformer?
