New spindle and fitting the bed.

New 2.2 kW water cooled spindle (0-24k RPM)

1/4" Tee nuts used as work holding points on the table,

Using the machine to drill its own holes in the spoil board and base.

tee nuts installed.  Oversize plywood sheet already varnished (3050x1550x18mm)

Cleaning down the frame before applying high strength construction adhesive to secure the base sheet to the frame.  In hindsight this may not have been the best idea as the paint will be the weak link in the bonded joints.  Time will tell. 


Machining the perimeter of the spoil board surface.

Cyclone dust extractor set up.

Surfacing the bed of the machine.
