Buddy BT48 Alpha table MKIII
This thread will be about my new table I am making for my Shopbot Buddy.
I talked about the parts I got it in the other thread, but I will recap here, as to keep things clear if anyone is interested.
The parts consist of:
-3 lengths (72") of 1/4" thick aluminum angle, 1.5" by 2.5"
-2 lengths of linear rail (2000mm), 16mm diameter, and 4 linear bearings
-aluminum extrusion from Hubbard CNC, to make up a table 59" long by 56" wide
-misc bolts and nuts, etc.

First, I cut one of the angles in half - two pcs 36" - and laid out the holes to attach the bearing blocks. 10-32 flat head machine bolts countersunk from behind. Slotted the angle, to allow attachment and vertical adjustment on the side rails of the Buddy.
