| CNC Router - The Build Continues | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (2/6/2005) The MDF machine build is moving ahead. The base is complete except for attaching the stepper motor and lead screw. The base and gantry have been painted. The X-axis has also been glued up and painted with black, hammered-finish paint. In addition to all the painting and gluing, the rails for the Y-axis have been installed and squared up. They are now ready and waiting for the gantry to be installed and adjusted. Once that is done, I will install the X-axis rails and the X-axis. Then all that will be left is to build the Z axis, install and adjust it, and hook up the electronics. |
