All together

Everything is all together. Just waiting on the transformer and I'll start soldering everything for the driver board this week. I used the dremel 300 instead of the 395 which was in the original plans. I used the modified Z sled made by Bill Hastings..

Going together.

Started to actually build some pieces. I got all the metal cut and tapped. The metal band saw wasn't working so I used a Chop saw.. Much faster but not as clean.. Assembled all the parts needing bearings and started on the base, X-Beam and Z Cart. I added 3/4" strips of wood to raise the entire mill so I can mount my material on 3/4" insulation foam. Hopefully i'll be able to utilize the extra 3/4" of Z travel. I have everything needed to finish this thing, Just need some more free time...
