Really enjoying the new CNC router. Bought this beast for $1,500 missing a controller and motors. Added 3 steppers, wired up a Dynomotion (KFLOP controller with KAnalog for the motor encoders) and it appears to hold .tolerance within 005". 1/4" steel tubing. Weighing in at 3,000 pounds.
My last CNC machine was 4 x 4 which required me to index the 4 x 8 sheets to cut large panels. The new 4 x 8 router saves me this hassle and the .035" or so misalignment that seemed to be part ofthe indexing game on the 4 x 4 machine.. HAPPY CHAPPY!
The puzzle joints fit perfectly with a -.003" offset.. Light tap with rubber mallet and they were locked tight.
