It doesn't even look like you clamp the machine to the table? Is it just sitting there? Gray
...this I did make a small but rather significant upgrade. The M5 clamp handles still felt a bit fiddly so I looked to a different style solution....
...and figured I could probably mount it using adjustable strapping clamps until I could cut out a bracket made specifically for the ridgid. You...
...the usual work, looking foward for this diy rotating ballnut setup. You should really clamp your ballscrews end so they don't rotate keep going!
Some kind of pinch-clamp setup on a piece of steel angle screwed to the side of the z axis rail is how I'd do it.
If these are wheels with an axle hole, what's wrong with a piece of wood with a nail in it and a C-clamp?
Is the clamp in this project along the lines of what you're looking for?
Just curious if you got this working and if so, what has your experience been in the last year with this here?
Hey, that spindle will be too heaving for the machine. If you need one of that size, stick to air cooled. Best Regards Ryan Lock
thanks did not know that you could clamp it there. What I still don't understand is what to do with the other end of the wire. so I have 40mm...

...it would not have to hold much weight. David, maybe i can find a good small toogle clamp, perhaps it is the red handle that turns me off :-)
Metalguru, What do you use for clamps. With the T slot on perimeter of the table there doesn't seem to be any place for a clamp to gain leverage...
How is it attached to the x plate? A small threaded hole? Is it some cam clamp style that locks the height in place? Looks like a neat design.
Polycarbonate might be better but you might consider moving the clamp to end of the plate and pushing against the rail instead. This would...
...nifty idea. It would be better if the cross bar had threaded holes every 50mm or so. That would allow you to clamp uneven pieces if you...
You might just need some shims to get the indicator to read true on all sides. I needed some steel shim stock for this on my build.
