My posts about this were kind of all over, thought I’d get things in one spot. Bootstrapping a table from the floor is fairly straight forward. Here’s some things I learned.

That seriously looks “the goods”!

Sometimes when you’ve been around the block a few times, you forget little details that you ought to mention that folks new to this would not know!

Got my eyeballs on this thread, I plan to bootstrap one of these tables once my machine is working and the gantry struts are cut and installed.

Thanks for going through this. Was about to start cutting this past weekend, but realized I needed more Y-axis for the full sheet as well. I’m curious about the vertical milling area you mentioned. Is that going to be like a drop table off the end? What are those screws and handles in your image at…

[image] phelan: Is that going to be like a drop table off the end? I was just on a video call with @steved in the V1E Discord, and he showed me that setup. My understanding is that it will work as a drop table, in that some taller item to be CNC engraved/pocketed or whatever, could be clamped…

I installed the new gantry (1435mm) and its about 10mm to long on the non-rail side. The rail side lines up perfect. Doug was gracious enough to hop on Discord and we did a walk around the table. We concluded the the table cut files are correct. The documentation might need updating/clarification as…

Ok we think we got this straightened out. I will edit the original post to reflect this. The proposed change to the builds instructions is: Note: The table cuts and build remain the same for all of the following X-gantry lengths. TUBE LENGTH for X-gantry – FOR TABLES WITH METAL STRUT SIDES: Note…

Great work! To be clear. X-axis Gantry tube length of 1425 if NOT planning on using the “Hide Y-axis belts inside strut” is what works best for this table? (No belt bending outward as seen in your photo if 1425mm is used)
