Step 10Assemble the slides
Mount the anti backlash blocks in the center underside of the Delrin slides. Do this by using the 3/4" long bolts and drilling and tapping holes in the Delrin slides.
Now mount the 3 1/2" long by 3/4" Delrin slide retainers by drilling and tapping holes and then screwing them to the slides with 3/4" long bolts.
Mount the Y axis slide to the underside of the 6" x 6" MDF piece.
Mount the X axis slide to the bottom of the of the Y axis plywood base plate (the part that has the Y axis rails mounted to it.) It is VERY important to get this mounted centered and square.
File a 1/2" flat spot into one end of each ACME rod- this is for mounting the handles. Now assemble the anti backlash assembly. The side of the assembly that has the retaining plate faces toward the side of the mill where your turning handles will go.
