I'm building a 3-axis machine that I later can expand with one or two more axis. My focus is on mechanical rigidity, precision and a large work volume in relation to outer dimensions. My project has been resting for some time but now you have inspired me to continue. Looking forward to see more from you!

Do you think it could be a good idea to put the all frame on some air pad or is it a dumb idea that I need to forget.

Dear Sir, For a person with no mechanical engineering background as you said; to have built something as complex as 3 axis machine would have been quite a feat but to build a 5 axis machine instead is all the more remarkable. The mistakes which you highlighted are quite frankly really minor when one considers how far you've gone thus far. My curiosity lies in the material used to construct it ( what's painted in white???) If said machine is by your reckoning in the vicinity of 400 kg; it's pretty much the scale of an industrial tool rather than a hobby machine. I think you've excelled yourself & ought to be very proud of your achievement. It's exceedingly complex & very well built. It would be most interesting to see one of your project coming to fruition of this marvel. Very well done. Kind regards.

Did you do any FEA simulations or trusted the Hermle design (square-cube law implications for scaling)?

If you want better damping and long life of the machine then go with as much hydrostatic as you can ( like hydrostatic ways for the axis. Hydrostatic lead screws and hydrostatic bearing for the turning axis) since hydrostatic is both damping but also non contact. And also doesn't have stick slip effect unlike ball screws and linear rails do Also something I would add ( since it's quite easy) is high pressure air around the spindle/tool to blow away chips we'll cutting ( good for deep slot milling so the chips get blown away instead of double cutting them) And a thin water/dust proof ring light around the spindle nose ( sometimes the spindle it self blocks the light making it hard to see what's happening)
