Well here goes... Aluminium frame router design

[CharlieRam]

Been a bit busy with other things lately but had time to fit my Christmas present to my Chester champion v20 mill. My good wife bought me a dro kit, saves me counting the turns when drilling

Had a little play with it but still managed to drill some holes in the wrong position although they were correct to my drawing, I obviously didn't position them correctly in sketchup and I just blindly followed all the positions. It's not a biggy though as it won't be seen and I'll put it down to weight reduction . spot the deliberate mistake

Also I am thinking of buying these castors for my machine

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331315782016

they are rated at 110kg each which should be more than capable of holding the weight of my machine which will come to about 200kg without any workpiece. They are total lock castors which means the wheels and swivels lock and they have rubber tyres.

I'm wondering if anyone else uses their machine on castors and if they have any problems like the machine skipping around?
Cheers, Charlie

Loving the mill :D

perhaps once you have witnessed the machine dancing about without castors, you will be in a better position to decide whether you want them :?
