I have a cnc router that I am trying to stiffen. I will be changing the "unsupported rods" with thk linear guides. In order to adapt the thk guides, I will need to machine an adapter plate that bolts onto the thk bearings on one side, and the other side has the holes for the gantry.
I have a mini mill as well as the cnc router for marking/drilling the piece.
I just don't know how to measure things so that the end result are precision holes for the adapter.
I will need a second adapter, and since these aluminum blocks are 2" thick, I am concerned about perfect alignment.
My thought is to do all the marking with the cnc router and then drill and cut with the mini mill. I should be able to use a center drill.
Any other ideas will be appreciated.
