Been busy as hell recently but finally the milling machine parts are back and the project is moving forward!! Rails are mounted on the base and gantry, there’s the ball screws to mount and two motor mounts to make and it will be ready to roll!!

Yeah, looking good Sam!

Nice looking good so far.

Good job my friend, one trick… if you put the motor in pararell with ballscrew you can get extra power to move your bed mill, but you must put 2 pulleys one in a motor for example 12 teeth and 24 in a ballscrew (2X), very nice indeed

@Eugenio_Villaverde Thanks for the advice mate! I’ve got some belts and some timing pulleys kicking around I might have a bit of a play! :wink:

@marmil ​, @Frederick_Douglas Thabks guys ;-)​

Dear friend in the next weeks i try your machine (i will copy your nice design) with your permission of couse, regards

@Eugenio_Villaverde Brillant, of course you have my permission :wink: I have a few ideas of improving this one already if you’re Interested but it depends on how similar your design is

@Sam_De_La_Haye All ideas and tip tricks are welcome my friend :wink:
