Here we go. It all started with an idea of approx 2ft x 3 ft bed and i had a nice space in my shed to put it. I watched ebay and bought a few bits and pieces and then it went all wrong in a good way
My brothers factory was closing down and all the square tubing was FREE. and i also got two lengths of linear rail for cheap approx 2mtrs long followed by another two lengths off the same-ish length. so i had to build one to those dimensions...Honest
The motors and gear i had was no good for that particular size so off to Zappautomation and i bought the full set of closed loop stepper motors including THC.
Hopefully the following pictures will tell a thousand words and you also get deducted points for a tidy workshop, so i will not be expecting any deductions.
Cheers Tommy.

Here we go...some materials sort from all corners of my contacts...pictures may come in various times...some before others could be completed so this will hopefully sort out the confusion..
