Finally my new build was made with 1/2" thick aluminum plate / flatbar and other changes and here are some pics.
Cutting area is approx. Y=36”, X-26”, Z=8”. The gantry vertical pcs are temporary and new pcs will be cut in an “S” shape when the cnc is ready. Also the plate on the pushbuttons station is temporary and a new plate will be cut from 1/8” aluminum and all buttons will be engraved.
The rails and ballscrews are from China and all electronics / Taig spindle and Sherline motor / VS unit from Soigeneris
The table top will be either 1/4" tooling plate or aluminum plate
I’m at the final stages of wiring and hoping to start the machine sometimes this week
