New Y Axis Rail

I was getting some flex in my Y Axis (believe it or not with those beefy aluminum extrisions) It was actually twisting... So I had to beef it up a bit with some 1/4" steel bar - here's how I grinded a 45 degree chamfer on the steel for my wheels to roll on!

Monday, 31 August 2009 16:02 Last Updated on Monday, 05 October 2009 16:42 Written by Jamie

Well, I've come full circle! One of the main reasons for building a CNC machine was to be able to make my own ground glass holders - and I've started! I will catalog my results from the many tests (I'm sure) I'm about to try...

Butcher Boy Bearing Conversion

Monday, 03 August 2009 14:33 Last Updated on Monday, 03 August 2009 15:12 Written by Jamie

In my neverending quest to come up with a good(cheap) linear bearing idea - I had bought some "Butcher Boy" bearings off of eBay for cheap. Well they were way too sloppy for any linear motion - so here's how I converted them into good Home Brew V-Bearings (HBVB in the style of Dave Kush) ;) that I could use (and still for cheap) :)
