Hello, guys.
In December 2015 I made Version 1 of a milling machine for wood. It was very useful to mill some stocks in X and Y directions but It was also limited on Z-axis.
Recently I finished several modifications that include a mobile table for the milling machine since the previous one was used on my RT.
Version 2 has a different router, not the trimmer that I used in V1 which was very hot during the milling operations. Some mods are not the original ones that I thought. For instance, the Z-axis is very heavy so I installed the gantry in a horizontal position to avoid the tipping of all the structure.
This option lent to a high reduction of the working área, less than 40% of the space available. Fortunately, the jobs executed with this versión have been processed with no problems.
I am happy with my V2 machine but a brainstorm is in my mind to make it more efficient.
