The frame it self is constructed from 14 ga 2x2 steel tube.
The cross braces are 2x2 steel angle. I wish I had of put some cross braces from table to legs and another set for a shelf. This would allow an area for my stock wood and such. |

WOW Turned out great. The paint is a brand of krylon from lowes. The blue just made it look industrial quality. |

The rails for the X and Y axises have been added. All of my rails were bought at a local salvage yard. If you look in your area you might be able to find great deals also. All rails and trucks were bought for $175.00. |

This took me a few to figure out how I wanted it to be. I came up with the idea that the X axis Belt and the Y axis stepper + pulleys could be mounted to this plate. Turned out very good I think. |

Both sides now are completed. All I need to do is add the stepper mount for the Y axis and The bottom clamp holder for the X axis. |

The Y axis stepper mount and pulley shaft also turned out great. |

I was trying to get an idea of where to put the drive shaft for the X axis belting. |

Found a old broom handle for a test of the Drive shaft. ( I thought it was an old broom handle until I got it across the back of my head. SORRY HONEY, Ill have to buy you a new handle :) |
