Credit where credit is due!
Thanks Mtn Brz 1!
I cant take all the credit for this one!! I pretty much copied ideas from what I have seen elsewhere! I would have loved to put it all on an aluminum bed but it wasnt very cost effective!
The base is birch plywood with dado's set in(my brother is a cabinet maker!!)
The aluminum uprights are pieces that were pretty much scrap at my work( I work at a sheetmetal perforating mfg).
We have a very extensive machine shop there and I have friends in the right dept.'s!!
The rollers believe it or not started out as one 3" round X 12"
long piece of nylon(purchased at MSC) it was turned and cut off on the metal lathe at work. As well as the groove to hold the O-rings(MSC also)
I used machined shoulder bolts to hold the rollers which eliminated the need for a bearing.
I am planning on putting some .031" nylon underneath the aluminum plates to help with it sliding along the bed.
THanks again!!
