I would love to use your generator for a torsion box build, but I don’t get why the y spars is bigger than the rail max length dimension.
I’m planning on making a table with cutting surface of 1300x2440mm. The sheet size I’m able to buy is 1220x2440mm, so how would I get y spars, which seems to be bigger than 2440mm?
The y-spars should be just about equal to your Y-length. There are y-runners (rails, I think they are called in the source) which the side cars run on and which should be split into two pieces, designed to fit into your sheet size.
Hi there, just a quick question: is it meant to be different? If it won’t be pushed till the end, it will have a gap in between, otherwise, it will stick out.
@ledniy – it’s meant to be a bit deeper than needed. You will have skins attached to the top and bottom which should help keep everything flush. Since this is meant to be buildable without a perfectly-dialed-in machine, it’s much easier to overcut than undercut here.
I’m new here, and I’m really impressed by how much people collaborate and share their work.
Inspired by @franklyrosalind’s work, I forked his excellent Torsion Table Generator and tried to improve some aspects of how the parameters are interpreted and, especially, how they are presented visually.
I’ve made some fairly significant changes, so for now I decided not to send a pull request to @franklyrosalind’s repository. However, if you think this approach could be useful to the original project, I’d be happy to contribute the changes back and remove my fork.
