Great, when you find out let me know.

well all going well I should have the kit from CNC fusion this week and have every thing else I need as peters gear has turned up as well.

I have welded up the stand (thanks for the steel bob ) and just need to spray it bolted the wheels on yesterday but still need to make the enclosure.

Yesterday I purchased one of the following as well should have got it to start with (thanks rod) makes moving It all so easy works well as a adjustable bench seat as well worth every $.

So another day and a little further not much though I spent 10mins at Supa Cheap trying to find Triton Orange well to be honest 9mins of that checking out the checkout chick the other looking for TO but couldnt find it so decided to go Blue instead still yet to do another coat but will leave that until daylight I think .

Still yet have to make the enclosure!

Yes Bob I bolted the wheels on this time as well .

Well mate if that was your sister your mum must have been one hell of a looker .

If only I wasnt married hmmm what else do I need from super cheap .

Ok so I am still waiting on the kit I hope it turns up before Friday but it will probably be Monday knowing my luck.

Anyway slowly acquiring more parts as I go

Bits and Pcs from Peter as well as some feet not sure if the feet will take the weight but thought I would give them a try picked them up off ebay for $40 delivered.

Found a good little G-Code ref on the Tormach site for anyone thats interested.

Ok so I get home early today from work have a coffee with the wife go down to the shop to get things for dinner get home about 6pm and the dear wife pulls out a slip from her bag and says I forgot about this I think you have a package down at the Post Office.

For #### sake she is lucky we have a kid otherwise I would bloody ####en divorce her

It would have been worse if it was Friday.

Well that red grease just keeps on giving doesn't it

So tore down the Z axis have already done the X&Y so i wont bore you with that.

The z axis was tight as a nuns shoelaces had to mangle one of the keys just to get it out.

Just some pics to keep people amused will have the X&Y done by mid morning all going well its going all to well so far

Ok all done on the mech side of things .

See if you can find the mistake

I will say that this kit was worth the wait I didn't have to modify any on the kit besides adding some spring washers the hardest thing to do was tear down the z axis everything was just so tight.

Jobs left in order
Fix the Dryer
Clean the Garage
Do the electronics
Make the enclosure next weekend
Coolent system

Finish laser Cutter

Hi Sean,
Looks goood to me and I can't see a mistake.
First job I did was cut a plate to cover the Z axis wider hole . I did one for a mate that had an Estop switch in the middle of it but I preferred mine outside the enclosure.
