Large CNC - Spoil Board

John,
Agree that extra Z traveling is nice. The only way we can get more Z travel is to raise the gantry. We would need new parts for this and would lose rigidity/accuracy. The adjustment screws on the bottom of the aluminum plates are currently our lowest point and limiting factor. It’s possible we could replace them with shorter ones to gain 1/4-5/8".

On another topic was it you that said they had interest in using a 4th axis?

Speaking of vacuum board, I briefly looked for the orange 6 hp rigid shop vac yesterday. Has anyone seen where this went?

I would certainly be interested in a 4th (lathe? axis).

I don’t recall mentioning it recently, but, as they say “my mind is going, Dave. I can feel it. ( You’re name is Dave, right? Right? …)”
