I've used Polymorph to make a mounts for the mill tools Once the tool is fixed in to place attach the MFD Sheet and tool to the drawer sliders. Measure and cut a small sheet of MDF to fix the tool to. Its important to make sure the Threaded Rod & the Drawer Sliders are all level.

Now add the threaded rod threw the 2 bearings. A hole needs to be cut halfway through for the bearing. The drawer sliders need to be attached to the 300mm lengths of the Y-AxisĬut one lump of wood to go In-between the 2 300mm lengths at the top in to this a hole needs to be cut for the bearing this hole needs to go all the way through the lump of wood.Ī Length of wood needs cutting to add to the bottom of 300mm lengths of the Y-Axis. The video give an overview of how the A-Axis was build You can at this point attach the motor but I found it easier to wait until all the axis where finished before doing so Once this is done you need to screw the A-axis to the base sheet. Once done you need to cut to lumps of wood to clamp the nut from moving. Now the 4 sides need to be assemble in to a squared and screw together, ( I used 1 and half inch screws)Īttach the drawer slides to the to longer sides.Īdd the threaded rod & nut in to the hole add a little bit of glue on either side of bearing to stop the threaded rod from coming in and out.Ĭut a sheet of mdf to go top of the A-Axis and attach it to the drawer slides. The bearings now need to be placed in the holes and attached in to place with a bit of glue A hole will need to be drilled half way through one length and all the way through the other In to the 400mm lengths we need to drill a hole for the bearing to sit in. The X Axis is easy to make if you think of it was square with a Drawer slider on each side and a threaded rod running down the middle.įirst we need to cut 2 lengths 400mm long & 2 Lengths of 430mm
