K40 Adjustable table

I'll get this updated soon, but I wanted to share it right away. It's pretty straightforward to put together using just the pictures as a guide. I insert a regular skateboard bearing into the recess in the lower corner bracket. The T8 rod gets inserted through the bearing and into another recess, holding it firmly in place. I used M3 socket head screws and nuts of varying lengths to assemble everything securely. Here are the materials I needed: * 3/4" x 1/16 aluminum angle iron * T8 lead screw cut to length * M3 socket head screws and nuts * GT2 timing belt and toothed pulleys * Standard skateboard bearings * M3 x 70mm socket head screw for the belt tensioner When drilling holes for the rails, I started by holding one of the corner brackets in place with a clamp. They're designed to fit snugly into their spot, so this made it easy. Using a 3mm drill, I carefully drilled through the angle from the bracket side and into the rail. I inserted a screw and nut, then tightened them up. Next, I removed the clamp and repeated the process for the other hole, ensuring everything was perfectly aligned. I cut my belt to length, then used super glue to splice together the ends with a short piece of extra belt. To do this, I placed the smooth sides facing each other on the backer piece, which is about 1.5 to 2 inches long. Then, I applied glue to one side and waited for it to dry before gluing the other side. The result was a seamless splice that worked perfectly fine.
