Hi Jon,

Totally agree with you on some of that, certainly the column (and base) on mine is, I think, relatively flimsy for what it is supposed to do, especially with such a weight hanging out of the front of it. Having said that, while trawling the wonders of the interweb it seems the castings vary considerably in their type despite ending up with such similar machines. Some have significantly more ‘meat’ to them than others, more and thicker webs etc

Built to a price at the end of the day.

As for the resin, it is specifically designed for this job. It’s for machine tool joint faces, even stuff like large gantry mills etc that are assembled with shim packs to get the accuracy then the joints injected, poured or trowelled in / on. They do slideway coatings too, similar to Turcite etc

The website is HERE for more info.

 

Once up and running, if it’s all OK then I’ll just use it but if the rigidity is an issue then that is something I will look at addressing in the future… maybe!

🍻
