It’s “done”! Now the real fun begins. I intend on doing something with dust collection but for now am chasing it around with my shop vac. I also bought one of those 4 input boards to add to the Jackpot. I also plan on doing something more for emergency stop (tied to a power strip for now). I also might get a dedicated tablet. But all those things can wait.
I did install the struts without removing the beam. However, I removed the bottom inside bearings and I couldn’t put those back on once the bottom strut was installed. So, I put those back, removed the top inside bearings and then could reinstall the core.
I have both the Jackpot and router power connected to a Y cable inside the beam so it’s easy to disconnect and keeps it clean.
There are some wire organization crimes happening inside that beam but it still looks good from the outside.
Thanks to @vicious1 for making this possible and everyone else for the help along the way. This forum and community has been invaluable. More to come.
