New too 😁

@@BuildswithBrian I've seen some of your videos before, but someone on a FB CNC group page directed me here, after I asked if it was possible to cut a hole in my Axiom bed.

@@acerjuglans383 unfortunately it won’t help to cut a hole in the bed with this design with center lead screw drive. I certainly would have done if instead of going thru the hassle of making that extender 😆

You flatter me 😆 Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed

You’re welcome, sounds like you’re quite an innovative person. Good luck with your project

@@BuildswithBrian Thanks Brian, I'm certainly going to give it a go.

James, thanks for watching, although I haven’t tried it for tenons yet, I’m pretty sure it should work fine as long as I don’t hog out heavy cuts.

keith lumley ... thank you, looks like we think alike 👍

AmplifyDIY thanks!

I used an 8” aluminum bean with a flange width of 5”, with the important surfaces machined flat and parallel, and machined in the location pins as well. Good luck sir

To answer your second question first, I do not think it is a weak point to have the single screw at all Actually, it’s just unfortunate when you have a single screw you cannot cut a hole in your spoil board and put something that is particularly deep like the cases I have been cutting. It’s just the nature of the design. The actual them I have is working phenomenally and I have no beefs with it at all. As far as your second question about the cases and where I source them, my customer actually supplies the cases. They buy them from various suppliers online, including Amazon

@@BuildswithBrian thanks brian, my German made CNC is getting old and it may be time for a new one soon, i like the high z height on the AXIOM and we have an irish dealer here. i may try and track some cases down, they gotta be cheaper than the overpriced systainers from festool! my small shop is unheated and im constantly fighting surface rust on tools,the CNC is indoors. going to case up my hand tools in the shop with dessicant packs and see if that helps. cheers.

Jaez85 Your spacer would need to be a minimum of 6 inches, to achieve 2 inch hangover, Assuming of course you have the exact same machine that I do

Absolutely, it made my machine more useful, I use it for some Jobs that earn money, and no I wouldn’t change anything with my modification. I would say the only drawback I’ve encountered is that it takes about a half hour to switch over .

@@BuildswithBrian Thank you for the quick reply. I will be copying your idea. Much appreciated

Do you belong to the axiom users group forum ?

yep, that is how I found you. I am on there very infrequently. Prefer to be making sawdust

Lady and Carpenter The reason I asked that is because there’s a fellow by the user name of Branson on there that posted how he built something similar to what I did for a trim router to do box joints, you might want to check it out if you haven’t already seen it

Mike Bohrer They get audio visual and computer equipment installed in them Thanks for watching, sorry I didn’t make that clear in the video, didn’t think anyone would care about that 😁

@@BuildswithBrian no worries. Nice shop, keep the videos coming.

Mike, Thanks for watching and I appreciate your interest, I will do my best to keep them coming 😁

I agree, Axiom should definitely have designed an overhang into their machine, Especially considering their design with one centered shaft to drive the Y axis does not allow you to remove a portion of spoil board so you can drop something down and work on something tall Thanks for watching!

@@BuildswithBrian but could a person cut a rectangular hole in the bed, off center of the Y axis screw?

@@acerjuglans383 no that would not work, there is the cross member that is driven by the center lead screw.

Fred Sawtelle I am considering it, I’ve had a couple people ask about it
