Second CNC table build, here we go again....

[Davek0974]

Got the gantry supports welded up - very little distortion which was great, impressed myself with that one

One thing I can now say is, that gantry beam is damn rigid, i put a dial indicator between the gantry and side beam and it's practically a solid object










Also got the X axis and THC mount welded up, came out nicely.

One question - I had to move the x motor rearwards, placing the rack on the back face of the beam - no biggy but, I had forgotten the rack bolts go across the rack face so are now screwing into nothing. Should i fit some short support angles like 10x20x4mm 100mm long and welded to the beam, and then mount the rack to them????

Or something better???
