Mar 04, 2008· The frame, base, etc appears to be light weight aluminum extrusion and the z axis is Granite/Epoxy. In an idealised design:-Surely the heaviest components are better placed lower down (enhanced stability & low center of gravity) with the lighter components anchored firmly on to or preferably in the high mass base. ie Granite & Epoxy Base.
The idea of a behind an epoxy granite machine base came about half a year ago in two ways. One aspect is based on how the machine frame of my home brew delta printer is constructed. The three main towers are 30x150x1500mm aluminium extrusions, which are made with four hollow cavities in them.
Aug 07, 2013· Just a few tips on reading this thread Epoxy Granite (EG) The cheap and easy way I hope. Just a few notes for those who didn't notice on the first trip through, or are here for the first time. I try to keep things as concise, and un-cluttered as I can, but that also means there is lots to do.
Polymer composite bases are accepted worldwide as a modern alternative for machine base design. If designed properly, the benefits offer gear designers and engineers another option for their base design. Polymer composite bases provide a stable and repeatable foundation to mount critical equipment that will last the life of the machine.

Epoxy granite, also known as synthetic granite, is a mixture of epoxy and granite commonly used as an alternative material for machine tool bases. Epoxy granite is used instead of cast iron and steel for better vibration damping, longer tool life, and lower assembly cost.
Feb 25, 2016· Is worth adding, granite epoxy bases only work well with very high stone to resin ratios, nothing like a self levelling runny mix, think more like the granite barely has just a coating of resin and is very much relying on a lot of stone to stone contact to be stable, not stone resin stone contact. though its the later that very much holds
