Thanks for that Matt

I think i get your idea and will do some looking in my shed for the relevant bits and bobs and see what i have.

Cheers Tommy

feel like ive pi$$ed on your fire now chap, sorry.

if your anything like me, you wont want to wait around getting plates cut for you...

if it were me, id buy some toothed pulleys from the place suggested above, or bearingstation or something.

get something like this say 10mm

get some round silver steel for a shaft...

put your pinion cog on one side of the shaft

and a big ass belt pulley on the other.

then drive the big pulley via another smaller pulley oo your stepper?

No way Kingcreaky far from it....should of asked these questions ages ago.

I am going to put the new bar in on the y axis so its all coming apart anyway....

I have loads of bearings so should hopefully be able to throw something up unless i stumble across some plates.

Once the machine is up and running correct, i intend to make some new bits for it to improve its appearance / accuracy if you know what i mean. I have also been looking at a load of other threads and google pages and have got a load more improvements in mind, whether they are an improvement or not will be seen.

Keep the thoughts coming please.

Cheers Tommy

But at the end the assembly will cost exactly the same as bought in USA.
