I've been very impressed with the quality of the Stepcraft units and hope to get one. Have fun!

I've finally moved on to aluminium First test was to make some new brackets for the suspension: http://youtu.be/2rTEMm9shv4

Standard chassis



Clearance before change



New bracket vs old



New bracket mounted in original holes



Unmounting the front axle



Front axle prepared to be mounted upside down



Front axle in place



Chassis after change



Improved clearance

Is it a stock standard StepCraft?

It certainly looks like it does a good job! :-)

Cheers,

I had some trouble with fault parts at delivery, but it was quickly resolved by their customer service. I think I'll upgrade du their 500w mill, the one I have now is only 100w, which really isn't enough for working with metals (I must run it very slow). It was easy to build and set up. I also bought Vectric VCarve Pro for drawing and making CAM files.

If someone wants the drawings of the longer brackets for personal use, just send me a PM.
