Finished the linear axes!!

• Y and Z axes polished and ready to go!
• Ran the FEA for the machine, and unfortunately found significant torsion under 1KN loads (0.2 mm above my goal of 0.1mm) - I need to review these results with a fresh mind
• Did some research into what fixturing surface to use and found a German supplier selling AW-5083 in the dimensions i require for a reasonable price
• Looked into fixturing options (part clamps) and started considering design options for the rotary 4 axis - should be simple
• Decided on a door design that gets it out of the user’s face in a fairly simple manner
• Also figured out a really good way to evacuate chips and coolant (conveyor belt) which is far better than my previous idea (vacuum extraction) : gotta get around to this in the next design session
  So much more to do, but so much progress!!
