I have stated to begin this project. Not sure how long it may take but it is a start.
Ordered the linear rails and cars found a new supplier that I am testing out. My original design had Hiwin EG15 rails and Cars but the new source was about 1/3 the cost. Ordered a set and if they work great otherwise I will spend the money on the Hiwins.
All my extrusions were cut to length. Since we stock and go through a lot of this material I purchased from my place of employment. Saved 30-40% doing this.
In all use 4 lengths of 1020 and 5 lengths 1010.
Plenty of stock.
After 30 Minutes had all the 1020 cut.
Fast work with the right equipment. Cuts like butter and all cuts nice and square.
30-40 minutes the next day and all the extrusions are cut.
Next up is hauling it home and to my shop to begin tappping the ends of all the extrusions and adding the holes for bolt access. The assembly will be with end fasteners for a clean look when assembled.
Also received the mirror mounts and the cut head to verify the design before cutting the mounts.
