I’ve used the LR3 calculator to determine the Y dimension table size required for a full slab at 97.5" (112.5") and unfortunately I’m a few inches short in my space. Perhaps this is a case of “You can’t always get what you want”, but is there any way to change the YZ plates so there’s less ‘wasted’ space in the Y axis? Hose brackets can be eliminated but that still leaves me 4-3/8" short.
I have 102" from concrete wall (top) to studs and then another 3.5" to play with if I align the YZ plates properly to not interfere with the studs and have my rails go into the space in between.
Yes, I could orient my LR3 the other way but I essentially would lose all use of my shop when the table was in place and CNC in use. My benches were designed a few years ago when I was going to (and never did) build a LR2. That space all the way to the right was for all the components that hang below the table.
Not pause. Just run a job that flattens the part it can reach and then move the work to flatten the other side.
The direction it moves may not be perfectly planar with how it was flattened. I haven’t thought it all the way through. But my gut is telling me it will be off by a few mm, but over 90" and it will be close enough to polish out.
Oh goodness, I’m not even worried about flattering slabs. I’m just looking to do cuts on a full sheet (coro plastic, plexi, etc.). I could probably design the cuts in such a way that i do half and then flip the sheet 180 to do the other half.
Since you have the belts on the side you’d be loading the material from plus the LowRider itself, it might not be too easy to get a full sheet on there.
