Running this on my 500watt dc spindle. Only taking a .1 mm depth of cut though. Forget what the feed rate was. Spindle is just a tad out, I can feel the step overs, but not by much, and with smaller bits, I never notice. I’ll even it up better after MRRF since I’m pulling it off for show and tell.

Oh man, that is like magic watching it disappear out from under the bit like that. Do you have a link for which bit you are using? I have looked at a few but never can quite get myself to pull the trigger.
Impressive! Super perpendicular and you have a solid build to swing a 1" bit. So nice.
Pretty sure it’s this guy right here.

I bought a 3/4" end mill to face mine, but haven’t had a chance to run it yet. My spoilboard is larger than my cut size, so when I finish, I’ll still have a bump up along the edges. I’m thinking I’ll just take a belt sander and chamfer those edges down.
I stuck a 3/4" router bit that I had into the spindle and just manually ran it all over the usable surface, so yeah, if it fits it’ll work. I removed about 2mm. Things are square to the machine even though the table is all wavy.
Mine leaves spots at the corners, and a thin strip down one side because I didn’t get the spoil board centered. I used a sharp chisel to pare down those spots. A small hand plane would work too.

I was surprised mine was. I didn’t try tramming anything real straight. I think I just eyeballed it with a small block of wood I cut on my miter saw.
I have some flat aluminum I might make something to tram my head, don’t have a 3d printer or I would print the one on thingiverse. Do you know which bolts adjust what exactly?
Not off the top of my head. They might be in the instructions though. I’m a little bit away from my mpcnc at the moment. (Roughly 9,936.93 miles.)
Thats just a little bit away
Just a touch!
