New build - Steel - 3 Axis initially then conversion to 4 axis.

Crossed purposes wasn't talking about you with that statement.



Because I'm not blind and can see there's been no machine work done on any of those surfaces or any thought regards rails being on same plane etc.
I've never yet seen piece of angle iron that is perfectly flat or 90deg and you are bolting straight to the face of one.

Then we have the heat put into the metal which can clearly be seen. You can Stitch it with pigeon Shit and beat the shite out of it all you like but it will still be warped or twisted in some way unless you take other steps to correct it.

All these little things will bite and like I've said your lucky your using round rail. Profiled linear rail would just not tolerate this level of in accuracy and bind up solid.

Edit: Just to be anal and prove my point look at this picture and tell me whats wrong.?

You are referring to me shaping it? I don't see the problem? what are you suggesting? (genuinely asking)
