You should have your gantry kit by the end of the week. We havent gotten electronics but they must be close to shipping.

Great, did the software ship out yet.

I got a little work done today, Got my box for the card installed on the pm45.

Got some paint on my table today i painted it with john deere blitz black i had on hand.

Got home from work this morning and saia motor freight was on the phone saying he had some goodies for me.

Well i got the gantry moving and its smooth as glass, my water table is slightly warped nothing a few c clamps wont fix. I tried out my drill/tap bit combo from greenlee and it works great i did 4 holes so far and i am very surprised how easy it was.PICS!

Got my cable carriers in, is there some directions or maybe a thread about how and where they are to be installed?

[Mav68erick]

it prolly depends where we mount our control boxes, im gonna mount mine to the side or inside on a plate like I seen on a 4x8 or 5x10 able, then I think the carrier starts at about midway on the table. I already popped the 2 zinced pieces on the ends.

did you get slat holders in your gantry box?

and how many limit stop bolts did you have. I installed 4 on my x rails, but I cant remember if I took 4 or 6 out of the pack, looked all over cant find any so must only been 4. none for the Y rail on the gantry.

I am gonna put all my electronics on the table with my computer. i didnt get any slat holders and have 4 limit stops.

Slat holders in a different box and should be there very soon.

THanks man, I got my top rails all welded up and drilled and tapped. My drill/tap bit combo worked great till the last few holes where it snapped thanks god i ordered a few extra cause i sure needed it. The drill jig worked great. This project is going alot easier than i ever thought it would.
