Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] So far, so good.

Bill,
Yes, the screw runs 'inside' the extrusion which is milled open at top. You
can see the profile of the extrusion in the Overview 1 photo. The extrusion
is from Bosch and is pretty heavy duty. It has two 15mm holes thru it that I
used to bolt the bearingblocks/motormounts to as can be seen in the Overview
2 photo. I have more photos that I can upload or send off-list if you are
interested.

One thing that I don't like about this design is that there is quite a big
distance between the center of the Y-axis ballnut and the surface of the
table, but I guess I will just have to wait and see how much impact it has
on performance. It sure is more rigid than my first machine, which can be
seen in the Files-section, under Henriks pictures or something like that.
