I have two questions I'd love some input on ...
Has anyone "widened" a 48x96 machine to 60x96? Longer y rails, longer rack pieces, some new wiring, longer table cross members ... anything else? Is the x carraige stiff enough to support this? My tolerances are not as tight as some (within .01) but I do not want a really sloppy machine either. Any ideas on cost?
If my PC router has the power for my purposes (cutting .75 Ply and HDPE), is there an advantage to me investing in a Colombo spindle? Do they offset the disadvantage of additional weight and resultant flex?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
