Hi Sean,
Yes the thrust bearings are better as they can cope with a heavier load. I would go with the needle roller but either would do.Cheers,
Rod

Never thought that far ahead , but I see the reason to.
Were you thinking of a rubber flange? (Without the clamp of course)

Just spent and hour looking for it and found what I was thinking of they are called oil seals I have a couple of broken ones at work still not sure what equipment they came out of maybe I will find out one day but I think we may be able to use them for our purpose everyone's thoughts.

Oil seals will do a good job for what you require Sean.
From memory, I think they also make a cheaper version of the same thing for dust rather than oil.

A little progress, took forever to get them to align as good as they are, even with using all my clamps.
Wish I had a proper welding table Next to go on will be some 25x25 box for supports, and I'll box 2 or 3 sides.
I got started on the Z axis and its mostly done, I'll post some pictures when done.
Regarding the price of the aluminium
120x60 was $407 + GST ($174.75 + GST mtr)
60x30 was $144.97 + GST ($40.27 + GST mtr) "I got a lower price (not much) as it had a scratch on it"
Both are heavy profile.

Looking good, I think the same whenever I am doing some welding If only I had a proper table but then you need to think about size etc and it all gets to hard lol.
The price on the Extrusion didn't work out too bad may go that rout as well care to sell me your plans .I like to move it move it, I like to move it.

Sketchup file attached. Frame is currently being designed so its a bit all over the place.
To cut some costs on the aluminium you can always use steel angle and bolt it to the underside, it would also save you getting the end plates cut.

wow im really falling behind, been getting a little done each saturday.
Here are some pictures of the base getting some panels put on. The aluminium composite panels still have the protective film on, underneath they are Matt White.
Lots of bird crap on my frame.

Yea still going, slowly getting there as I've only been able to work a few hours on the weekends, had some issues with the etch primer eating up an old layer of paint I applied to the exposed areas that were rusting, so that took alot of time to fix up.
I'll post up some pictures in a few weeks when the base should be complete, right now alot of been completed but isnt bolted/riveted to the base.

Just some pics of its current state.
Most of it has been done, just waiting for some items to finish it off, tomorrow I'll add a little more bog and spray putty and sand it down.
I have also added a picture of how I was thinking of doing the T-slot table, made up of 100x10mm, 60x10mm, 80x10mm and 40x10mm alu flat bar, or I might go with some 20-25mm bar and mill a lip on it for some T-slot nuts.
Last image was taken ~3 weeks ago but gives an idea on what it will look like.
