multimachine : Message: Re: [multimachine] Any carriage and cross slide designs

Hello Lance

I need somemore info about your idea to give you some help.

Building ways and spindle is the hadest part to the machine.

we do not seem to have a good design to bulld ways for the

machine.

A box/square ways are the simplest one to build for the home

builder.

Cold rolled steel is perfered because it is more accurate then

Hot rolled steel. There is no slag to have to deal with on CRS

like the HRS has.

The reason I like two narrow ways over the single wide ways

is it is more cost effective than the wider single way after a

certian width.

if you do use the wider plate you want to put runner down the sides

this keeps the plates from touching if they are bowed.

Hi Keith,

Ya, I like the table, but can you provide some

better pictures of how it is constructed?

I have a single way 7" wide x 1" thick and the

carriage would sit over this with gibs in the side

to adj the sliding fit / friction.
