They look good. Parker cylinders are top shelf and evidently they are pretty good to work for as well.

No, to much work. I will be buying them from Riteway. They are not cheap but well worth it.

So, today I got it mostly assembled. I had to use some good old redneck engineering to put it all together but it all worked out great. I had my dad help me out with the tractor work.

 Damn....that looks really good !
Those look like Hiwin blocks.
 If they are, are they ball or barrel roller type ?
Excellent job you got there.
 Beautiful !

They are Hiwin HG35 ball type. I called Hiwin and the sales guy talked me out of the RG roller type. He said if they are not loaded to over half of the dynamic load the rollers will just skid and burn.

Nice, very nice. Looking forward to the videos of it in action.

Looks real good.
 I would have to say ,  flex won't be a problem.

Today I got the backgage started. I machined up the ball screws and made the end supports. I also started machining up the frame for the backgauge.

Today I got the manifold all done and also the Y block.
