DIY Epoxy Tombstone for our Okuma Horizontal CNC Machine!
Tombstones for horizontal CNC machines are typically made of cast iron and are a great option in terms of rigidity but milling cast iron is messy! After purchasing our first few tombstones, we decided to make our own out of epoxy and aluminum. If you listen to the Business of Machining Podcast with John Grimsmo and I, you know I'm a stickler for not taking on projects just because you can. Let's talk about why this project did make sense for us, how we made it, things we learned, and what we would do differently next time!
