Gantry done!


It took a lot of work but my CNC machine Gantry is done!  Here it is standing up on my work bench.


You can see the "Green Monster" motors that run the show.  They are supposed to be able to put out around 400oz/inches of power, not to shabby!


Here you can see the mount that connects the ballnut to the Z axis to move it side to side.  The ballscrew is so efficient you can grab the Z axis and push it side to side and the ballscrew will turn and allow it to move, its pretty cool to watch.  Next up is building the base!
