I got a slide done, and the other 5 drilled and ready for bolts and bearings.
I spent $22.94 bringing the total to $70.84
Still working on the design as well. I’m 90% sure I’m going with 8020 for the gantry and the support at this point. I don’t see a way that I can do tight enough wood working to get a MDF frame to be very stiff. I also can’t afford to buy plans or a kit from someone.
I’ll post pictures and a revised design once I get them done.
