Time to hang this Cannon. First round attempt with super light tube steel. One by something. Went to an old haunt for some inspiration and perspiration, kinda. Picked on one of the bestest private junk piles. Saving the commercial piles till last cause they ain't free. Should measure and take pics of da pickings....ya think?
And that was in the pile.
My two requirements are an extra wide sled with rigid posts. It may crack but mild steel is easy to fix. It may work great or end up back in that pile of pickings.
If you good people will post up pics of your home made and bought bar clamps, post clamps and side shoe that might help a lot of others and myself. Not set hard and fast on any one design or clamping mechanism. Fifty something cutting face with the ability to shrink it down without sliding rails or tube in tube designs. Starting with a bed frame or desk type furniture should save me a ton of time. Anything free is best for prototypes. Wheel chairs are in "the pile" as it will be called from here forward. This mill gets wheels. This is the pile that keeps on giving. He also has tons and literally hundreds of pounds of sorted and unsorted hardware of all kinds. Mostly OEM back to the fiddys.
Note to self, order 0.020 mig tips or fight with the 0.032 tips in stock when I swap out the wire
