Well here goes... Aluminium frame router design

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 ��

Oh yeah.

Hope it serves you well.

Keep us posted.

Grtz Bert.

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?

What are the windings on the one you have. generally 2 x 24v is ideal but I have used 2 x 25v many times. what is the max is the dc on your drives.

The one i have is 2 x 25v so i was expecting more like 70v��, and the drives are the 2DM860H so can handle the voltage ok
