CNC update April 2013

It's been a while since I posted about the CNC machine. In the past year I have changed jobs and have been staying pretty busy. I found some time here and there to work on the CNC but made some great headway in February. My main problem was the Z axis. The original design was flimsy, so I beefed up the structure a little more. Also, I spent a lot of time making the individual parts, working on accuracy and alignment. In tests this axis moves so smoothly that it makes me realize how sloppy the X axis is. Some other projects are on the front burner now, but I am close to being up and running.
