Thor, or should that be Zeus?

if you are thinking of making something like this, dont.

This is on such an epic scale it almost ranks with Noah's Ark.

I think it has to be finished, there has to be a conclusion, at least a video of it cutting. Something a futuristic Time Team can search the archive for when they recover this behemoth intact from the apocalyptic, London ruins

Ye, ignoring the cash spent, also keen to just see if it works.

Managed to get some of the Z axis completed today but I need a large mill to square everything and get this completed.

A long shot, anyone near Uxbridge (I am willing to travel) that has a mill that I can use to get this Z Axis completed?

I need something that can do around 500 x 400 mm. I have access to a Bridgeport but no response from the person that offered. I just need to go around the rectangle and square up and do around 16 holes with some very basic code.

Thanks

Hi, I just read the whole thread from the beginning amazing work but I have one question where did you get your rails?


these are my carriages, look familiar lol trying to source the rail. Looking at yours I think I have the baby version (20mm rail)

Thanks. They look to be Bosch or Rosa. I can put you in touch with my supplier, he deals in 2nd hand stuff and may be able to source for you. Let me know.

Managed to get access to a bridgeport type machine to do work on the Z Axis. Almost done, need to do a fair bit of tapping and will then assemble.

Looking very very good ;) I just love CNC machined aluminum it's like a work of art all on it's own!

I hadn't appreciated how big your ballscrews were lol! How big are your rails? I'm guessing 35mm+
