Simple to fix for you and a simple work around for me 
I think just one of the holes at each end needs re-drilling; the other should be in the right place, correct?
Let me go grab some phots now, give me 10 mins.
I think my solution is to slide both rails further from Y min towards Y max. I will have to extend one end of the side/vertical rails and then trim the other end but I will see what you say after the photos as it could be something really stupid that I have done…
This is at Y max, X max. (sorry for the blurry photo but you get the drift I hope)
I think possibly the engraved indents need to be moved?
Yep, you’re right about the engraved indents. It’d probably honestly be better if I just removed them to avoid confusion.
Should hopefully? Be a matter of just shifting the rails backwards.
I think they were a good idea.
I think if I were building another and I knew the Y offset I could slide the rails forward accordingly, or if its a simple fix perhaps the calculator offset them?
MDF is easily repaired/amended so I will chop and add a few little extra supports and refix the rails.
Thanks for a speedy response…
I was unlucky when I joined the rails first time around in that they wouldn’t let me slide the rails along to accommodate full Y cutting of 2440mm. So I quickly cut two more new rails on my jobsite table saw (hence they are now the same width).
I attached rails (lucky again not to glue them) checked for spindle reach full Y range and got the machine fully up and running.
DOHHH I then discovered that I didnt have full X movement, see photos. I have unscrewed everything and turned the gantry through 180deg so that Ymin and Ymax are reversed. I just need to install everything and I will have an almost working lowrider.
Just so someone does read this and get it wrong, I think the steel rail goes on the side with shorter spars, smooth rail goes on the side with long spars (:
Nice AMB spindle holder.

Yes, some kind and talented soul shared their design on one of the 3d file sharing sites. Fits like a tight glove.
The AMB was second hand for around $100, it sparked badly when I bought it, I put new brushes in it, conditioned the very worn commutators and it is running better ( I think I need to do the commutators again with a proper stone but they are expensive for what they are).
I had the AMB running for 30 mins, no load after fitting brushes and it got quite warm, I thought the bearings might have been goosed but I checked the spec sheet and it does run quite warm, hopefully the PLA will hold up the temps otherwise I will reprint the holder with another filament type…
It was me… I was given the files of the router by AMB so I was able to model the holder to exactly match the router. 
$100 is an absolute steal, it‘s such a great router. It should not get warm though, the cooling, though air, is really good.
In our world of strife, division and war, I do find that some online communities are a breath of fresh air and this forum is an outstanding example of that in my opinion.
Isn’t it great that a bunch of like minded strangers help each other, share and give up their time for others….
Philipp, thanks for sharing your clamp design and time; likewise, to everyone else who has guided me through my build and especially Ryan for his amazing design. Hopefully, I will find a way to pay back in time.
I cut my strut plates last night… what a buzz.

Greetings. Love SVG generator but am struggling with bring it into Fusion 360. SVG comes in fine but massively small. Any tips. Also is there a way to reference an X and Y dimension on the SVG just for calibration?
Desired table will be 36” x 60”. I was going to use pre-primed MDB trim.
Not sure if I missed it but are the any definitions of the input variables? Like what are the buffers?
It’s enough for a great start as is.
Thanks
Craig
Solved: Fix dimensions of imported SVG? - Autodesk Community - this says that Fusion assumes SVGs are 96 DPI. My tool writes 1DPI. Set your ‘scale factor’ to 96 when importing the SVG:
That works for me.
Nothing written - a lot of it is captured in this thread. I do need to sit down and write it, but I’ve been largely not doing anything CNC related for the last few months (other things have taken priority).
The buffers are just for adding width (X-dimension) to the two top rails where the end cars drive. You can see some discussion of them in this thread: Torsion LR4 table generator - #38 by franklyrosalind. You probably don’t need/want to fuss with them.

Thanks so much makes sense. Appreciate it.
I used the torsion table generator to create my SVG file for the LowRider 4 build, but I’m struggling to confirm if it’s actually the right size once I import it into ESTLCAM.
When I bring the SVG in, it looks like everything fits on one sheet, but I’m not sure if that’s correct as the rail boards wouldn’t need to be two parts. Should this file normally take up more than one 4×8 sheet of MDF for a 48”x96” table?
Basically, how do you check that the SVG imported at the correct scale inside ESTLCAM? Is there a reference measurement somewhere in the file that I can use to confirm it’s reading in millimeters and not being resized on import?
I’ve tried adjusting the scale manually, but I can’t tell when it’s truly accurate. Any tips or steps to make sure it’s correctly sized before cutting would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance, I just want to make sure I’m not cutting something undersized or oversized before I start burning MDF.
You can use the grid in EstlCAM to get a pretty close but not exact measurement of objects.
You can also left click and hold the mouse button, then move the mouse to get a measurement.
You don’t need to be exact to within fractions of a mm, you are just confirming that the units transferred correctly,
I guess that’s the basis of my question. I can’t seem to comprehend what measurements are transferring over as I don’t know what the sizes of the piece are supposed to be. I know what I want my final table to be however I don’t know what the pieces need to measure to make that happen as I used the generator.
