The devil is in the details!
The motor sub-mount/ bearing support is fabricated and installed on the Z axis. The rails have to remain off until after paint. They will trap the lower V bearing adjustment cams once in place, so have to hold off until I get those ready and things painted. Holes are all drilled for the rails so it will just be driving screws when the time comes. Next is a lower bearing support, and thrust bearing wear plates, the acme nut bracket with nut, and then installing the screw.....after paint. The devils is in the details!!
V-bearing adjustment cams for the Y axis and Z axis.
Filling some tooling holes. I like this Elmer's wood filler. Holds well, and works easy enough.
I half of a dust collection shoe, boot, thingy majig. It will have a sister part that fastens to the router mount and hold the vacuum hose. Then this will have the brush and the counter bores will hold magnets in both parts. That was I can snap the boot off and on without tools or dealing with the vacuum hose for tool changes.
From the beginning I felt like I would need some leveling feet on the base, but just could decide what or how I was going to do it. These arrived today. Looks like nice hardware. Plan is to bond and screw some mounting block on each corner and insert the feet into those block. I should have done this earlier but just didn't want to pull the trigger on nice hardware so I procrastinated it. Glued up a block for thickness tonight and will cut it into the individual blocks and get them mounted later in the week. The material at the corners now is only one layer of 3/4 plywood, so not thick enough to bore into for these screws, thus the reason for adding the mounting blocks.
