Hi Guys
Making somewhat slow progress on this but the attached pics show the gantry trial assembled. Runs really nicely on the supported round rails and I detect no binding anywhere! However I have invested in a pack of steel shim material because I expect that stuff will need it to get everything square and nice! The biggest step now is to get the plate holding the z-axis stepper manufactured. Hoping that the local FE college will help here as I don't have a milling machine
Also does anybody have or make some clamps for the 80mm water cooled spindle? I thought Jonathan was making these at some stage but can't raise him via the forum?
Any tips on what lubricant to use on the supported round rails? I will be using Mobilux EP2 for the ball screws (via the ball nut)
Regards
Mike
