Very nice work! May I please ask what kind of welder are you using? Also, would you mind sharing your technique? It looks very clean and professional!

Thank you,
Mo

I use a MMA Gysmi 165 inverter http://www.cromwell.co.uk/GYS8801650D with basic electrodes OK 48.60 http://pdf.directindustry.com/pdf/es...-84893-_5.html . After the welding I grinded the parts with an angle grinder and then smoothed them with a rotary wire brush attached to my angle grinder (something like that http://www.toolshopdirect.co.uk/item...2/2636/sn/WB04 ).

Thanks for details! It really helps, I have no experience welding and I'm trying to decide if I should try embarking on this or just having it done by a friend (professional welder).
I'm kinda going towards "outsourcing" this part.

Like you I would probably favour using some bolts, since I will probably have to move the machine not too far from now.


Thanks again!

You owe it to yourself to at least "have a go at it" with borrowed equipment...

Hey Ken ... Yeap, I think I will try it! How hard can it possibly be?
Just bought the Miller student books, after reading them, I guess I will just have to practice.

But let's see ... as they say, time is money.

Thank you,
Mo

ESAB is very familiar to me! I own one also. Mine is 90i I think and is tig, (tungsten inert gas) and stick. (shielded metal arc).

If you have someone to show you arc welding, you will learn much faster. I am the proof though that it is possible to learn from books and the internet.

I've prepared the roles for the X and Y axises.
I bought some THK SR25 linearbearings (460mm) from eBay for the Z axis in good conditions.

I just finished something to make money. I think these would been got more interesting with a finished MM.


I've made two sets of this parts at a resonable price. If somebody is interested, contact me.

I've been working something in the time.
I'm going to mount the rack with VHB tape 1mm from a local seller soon.
I'll fix the rack with M5 screw like in the photo for safety.

I refurfished an old big box and made it smaller. For the time being it is empty. I'm waiting for the drivers.

I made the last shopping: PMDX122 (http://www.pmdx.com/PMDX-122), the drivers M880A, the e-chains and the proximity sensors from Claudia (http://www.driver-motor.com/Products.aspx).
I received the cables to, now I'm going to start the cabling. I moved the control box from the wall, near the table to reduce the amount of cable used.
It looks like I'm not going to be bored with all those cables.

I made some pictures from the "inside" the box and the command buttons. Next I'm going to make the wiring and put the "inside" back in the box.

It's almost finished. The electrical set is ready and I made the first tests. I'm waiting to receive some money for the spindle.

Thanks a lot guys! The final sizes are X:2640, Y:1640 and Z:200 (mm).
Now I'm cocerned about what spindle to buy. A 220 or a 380 (3-phased) powered one?
Will a 2.2kw be enough or should I buy 3kw? Water-cooled or air-cooled?
