New website!

Post date: Mar 21, 2013 4:23:27 AM

I finally decided that I should make a slightly nicer website for myself...

The current status of my CNC mill is:

• It works! Except it's not precise enough, so...
• I'm in the process of fabricating the new Z axis assembly and replacing the drawer slides with real linear bearings
  • I've got the mounting plate to couple the linear bearing carriages and the Z axis assembly 95% done. Some holes just need to be re-aligned
  • The mount for the spindle is getting there. A hole has been bored into it for holding the spindle, and another hole made for clamping it down. It still needs a couple more holes drilled and tapped for mounting the whole thing to the Z axis
  • The stepper for the Z axis still needs to be mounted somehow, and the rod to move the axis up and down needs to be attached somehow.

Pictures of these parts will be posted in the near-ish future.
