Hello All,
Other than needing to acquire a longer lead screw, what is there
preventing someone from using two 900s to make a 8 foot system? I
believe the carriage would still be able to ride through from one
frame to the other. Clearly one would have to place both systems on a
common platform
Hello All,
I've been out surfing again. Found an ad for a cnc router-lathe for
sale for 4K. Looks like someone built a cnc based on the rail system
of the legacy or some similar alum. rails. He or she is selling it
for 4K.
. It seems people cannot appreciate
the skills involved with our style of products and capabilities. They
discount all preparation and design work and think the machine did it all.
