    Hi Guys
    Sorry to be so tardy with postings and updates but I have been working on this. One of the things you discover when building a CNC from extrustions is the amount of drilling and thread tapping you have to do! Thanks to my neighbour who is a retired tool maker, he advised that I use spiral taps and these are brilliant when used in an electric drill! My top tip of the day! Attached are some photos of progress. You can see how the L-shaped Y axis inspired by Jazz was done. I have recently completed the drilling of the "thickner plates" which are used to mount the round supported rails because the material in the extrusions is too thin to directly mount the rails. Also I now need to clear out my garage so that I have space to assemble and check the machine!
