How to Build Epoxy Granite Machine Base

Описание к видео How to Build Epoxy Granite Machine Base

Epoxy granite, sometimes known as polymer concrete, makes an amazing machine base. It can be cast into almost any shape, is incredible stiff, and dampens vibrations.

These bases can be used for scientific instruments, CNC machines, and anything else that needs a rock solid base.

In this tutorial, I will cover all the prototyping and trials I went through to build an epoxy granite machine base. I give all the recipes and instructions needed to make your own at home, as well as all of the mistakes ("lessons") I learned along the way.

I've also included instructions on how to build a shaker table, since this is a good way to get even more air bubbles out of your mixture
