Then I have it right, as per assembly guide.
Thanks,

I need some advice, I have a 1400 x 900 mm table on which I plan to add some side wooden slats to run the X carriage along the Y axis.
My question is, should I build the X carriage as the longest axis ? So I can work full sheets in case I need to?
I understand that built in this way I could run a full sheet underneath the X axis, somehow ???
Cheers,

I strongly suggest against that. That is the weaker of the two and making it even longer is going to make a significant performance hit.
Somehow I knew you’d say that, but the idea was to make it a full sheet wide size on the X axis and then leave the Y axis as the shorter one.
If that is not going to work, I’ll stick to Plan A.
Had to ask 
Thanks Ryan
Best option by far. X should always be the shorter one for the best results.

Is there a cad model available to play around with dimensions ?
buenas desde tarragona jejejje
I have the X full width (Meine CNC – HaWiWe) because of that, it does have its drawbacks with rigidity, but not too much. My Ghostrider can go quickly and precisely.
I have to admit though that I’ve never actually cut a full sheet… So I could have skipped doing that… 
Ryan doesn’t have any model available: most of us works with the stl files in SketchUp (smooth them and make our assembly there) 
enough was said

Thanks, I’ll stick to a long enough X axis to cut 1/2 sheet width and a bit more.

Then I’ll get my a** on the chair and draw table etc on Fusion and see what I end up doing at the end with my build.
I intend to enclose it and need to think on something, or find a solution by someone in the forum, in order to get a 40mm vacuum hose working inside the enclosure without disturbing any of the moving parts inside.
I’ll be back with the design and ask for some advice from the more expertise.
Cheers

the table is a cad model availabe on Onshape: 3 actually, one from Ryan, one from Jonathan and one from doug ( i didnt read the full context of your message and asumed you were asking for the cnc model not the table )
i went with steel tables, ended up being 1/2 price of mdf/wood
this is really above my pay grade, i use full sheet machines in my shop and they all are in a big room with one vac per machine.
In fact, I have a ready table, which I’ll modify to add some side wood slats to make it wider.
Enclosing it is a must as I’ll be running in the terrace of our apartment, and I don’t want to disturb neighbors, so it will have to be enclosed and with some sound dampening material too.
I have a rough idea on how to do it but want to draw it and see if it will work on paper.
Steel table or even alum would be great, but I don’t have the abilities or equipment to solder, and I already have a very sturdy wood table I built for the LR2, so a slight mod with side slats should do the job, or so I hope
wood has became extremly prohibitive here, as aluminium. i did 2 tables in steel tubes for the price of 1 wood table.

Over here is the same, both are very expensive, even the cheapest quality sheet of plywood made out of poplar tree is expensive.
Feel like a child on new boots, thanks @vicious1 Ryan, it’s been a very fast delivery !!!

This will probably sound stupid, but I like those details when I order things from relatively young or small companies, means that someone it’s on the other side caring for business, not just a robot…if you know what I mean.
