Thread: Small Gantry Router

It looks a lot like my frame, but, there was quite a bit of discussion regarding where to place everything and I'll try to list them all;
1. don't position diagonal tubes right in the corners.
2. don't bring two diagonal tubes together in a point at the top
3. don't attach parts directly in line with other parts
4. diagonals across the bottom will remove the need for small corner braces in the bed
At the moment you have no support around the edges of the bed but if you rotate the 100x50 you will.
Don't use that supported rail, it's nowhere near as good as Hiwin type rails.
You might want to put adjustabe feet on the legs.
You can see what I mean by looking at one of these photos; http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/6565-...4294#post54294Last edited by EddyCurrent; 15-12-2014 at 08:31 PM.
Spelling mistakes are not intentional, I only seem to see them some time after I've posted
