Square cutting the ends, or mitering, or whatever is just the beginning. The real effort is in the assembly. Holding it square, or aligned, while assembling the frame is key. Also, be judicious with the term 'square.' Square in on application is miles off in another. Be reasonable with the expectations. All extrusions have some amount of bend/twist/bow. It's in the process. Usually measured in inches per inch, or degrees per inch, or whatever. Look closely and you see this even in the highest accuracy bearing rails. The issue is 'installed' straightness, or squareness. And don't forget that the frame will move about under load. It's all a matter of how much. Good Luck.

I was wondering what is the easiest way to make a T-slot aluminum based frame for CNC square? No matter how good is the cross cut, it never makes absolutely right angle in corners or T sections which causes problems with guide rails etc. Thanks, -- Rafael ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
