i got that file set and the alignment pin files. Thank you for the help. I was hoping to see a few different setups from the guys on here. Thank you once again for taking your time to help. |

No worries! I've had my X2 for 4 or 5 years now and often thought how nice it would be to have some table stops available So when I first saw your post I was hoping you had the easy solution! Not sure how easy this would be to adapt to the Y axis, seems like the best place to put the stops is the same place you want to mount scales for a DRO. |

i now call this my modular mill kit. it was a full length of 6061 alum 1/2" square solid stock. I then tapped 1/4-20 holes every 1". then cut into manageable lengths. I then made an x and y axis tram setup that houses nicely in a joyo de nicarauga cigar box. The y axis is put together in the spindle. the only difference is the x axis has a longer bar. I then made an x and y axis solid stop kit with some of the material. I simply tapped 1/4-20 holes in the table and the base and mounted the stock and made some stop blocks that are moveable. i am now working on mounting an indicator on the z axis stop block to help fine tune the axis. I have stops for the x and y that allow me to mount an indicator on them also to fine tune those movements. All for the cost of free dollars and free cents as it was all material i had in my garage. I have about 7 more feet to do with also. I am working on a poly fixture plate for drilling and an aluminum bed plate with the same bolt hole size for my t-nut kit for easy fixturing. |
