Painted the stand, i wanted another color for it all but with my budget only black and white was available or a mix of the 2. :)

Heres the linear rails im going to use.

I bought mine from Zapp automation this time and they arrived very scuffed up  but more about that later in a topic of its own. The trucks i bought directly from the factory and they appear to be of good quality and ok.

Tada, bottoms done needs to be fully welded.

Started to tack in some reinforcement.

Picked me up some sand to fill the steel frame. Put it under some plastic to dry.

Bottoms all tacked up.

First couple of pieces cut and made. 4 rubber adjustable feet.

Made alot of these puh.

Welded togheter the table and the three first pieces for the frame.

This is my latest build, a "gantry style router". The picture is just a rough sketch of the outlines but this is the plan so far.

Travels: X ~1400mm Y ~1000mm Z ~300mm

X will be driven by 2 4x16mm trapezoidal screws via belt to a servo.

Y will have the same screw as X and either a servo or a stepper driving it.

Z -"- stepper driven since i dont need much speed here, it will be geared down via a belt for greater accuracy in z.

0-~10000rpm spindle with atc, high/low gearbox driven by a ~1kW motor and a VFD. 4th and maybe 5th axis will be added later.
