I'm not trying to sell anything I just thaught people would like to see what else I was building at my studio didn't want to clog the forum with a bunch of pictures so I just put the link instead. Anyway that is a picture of a what they call a freeze board it's 16 feet long engraved with a vgroove bit and it
goes over a giant library in a custom home all of the names of the people that worked on that house are on this board I used Corel draw 9 vcarve pro6 and mach3 to produce it This piece was tricky because its 16 feet long and my cnc is 4 x 8 feet
Thank you Tom

A lot of people have been asking about my chain drive X axis It is m best axis if I build another cnc I will have it all chain driven I have a 52" gantry and I get across Y axis with a 1/2" acme screw at high speed it whips a little
but the chain doesn't care how fast I travel in the x axis of 120" Slack in the chain Is not a problem I have a ideler sprocket on a slide adjustment at my gantry I hardly have to use it I push my X with a nema 34 nice and smooth
I have some sprocket reductions but just because it makes a prototype more controlable by the way I use L flange and Vgroove bearings all the Ideas sprang from buildyourcnc.com Irealy like those guys over there

Allright see ya Tom

I just wanted to add the similarities between mills with the wood mizer a full sized log mill They use chain drive for that long axis ok by
