Hello I decided to push through and make the final upgrades for my cnc router. I would like to use it to machine a part for mounting a quick change tool post for my emcoturn and later a turret.
in this video I make a linear rail slide upgrade for my y axis. exchanging the old supported rods against hgr25 rail and hgh25 rail blocks.
First try to square two long aluminium pieces to which I mount the rails. It was alot of job since the aluminium were 700 mm and I Only got ~200mm of travel on my minimill.
I then drilled and tapped mounted and aligned the rails.
Hopefully I can have booth the router and lathe running next week.
