Finally found a bit of time to continue on the milling machine! It’s moving along pretty well, hopefully it should be done soon. Really looking forward to having this running, hope everyone’s having a lovely weekend!
hey Sam this looks very nice, i will stay follow…
@Eugenio_Villaverde Thanks! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend!
uuuuh… looks like a big one! good luck with that!
Which is the section of those beams?
i’ll be watching your progresses.
Look nice. Your welds will come out better and cleaner if you do some more prep work on the material before hand. A scrub with acetone and/or hitting it with a brass brush/pad will help
@Alex_Paverman its definitely bigger than I thought it would be! Things look big in the computer buts its only when you start building it do you realise quite how big it is! The three center beams are 100x100x6mm, 200x150x5 for the supporting legs, 200x100x8 for the gantry. Have a great weekend!
@Mike_Kelly_Mike_Make Thanks for the advice! Will definitely give that a go, welds are coming out pretty well although it took a bit to get back in MMA welding, I’ll post some photos of where I’ve got too
