MPCNC or LR4

When you need more Z-height. If you’ll be cutting foam, you might want more Z-height. Keep in mind if you look at the machines Z-travel, half is for the end mill and half is for the material.

Agree. One way to workaround this and raise LR4’s Z range for thicker stock, without overly compromising rigidity, is to mount the Y rail/beltholders on stable removable/clamped slats that raise the overall machine relative to the spoilboard surface. Use MDF or something else stable. Seen a few people use this as a easy/cheap/smart temporary alternative to a typical drop table.

I’m obviously biased towards LR4 , but still curious to see what scenarios MPCNC TNG is a better fit for…
