Interchanging parts between the upgraded z axis and the old one on the Genmitsu 4040 pro cnc. This was a question posed to me on a couple of occasions by my viewers. This is to show what the difference is and my own personal views on the change.

Hello Tony Thanks for the update. The displacement is linear. If you extend the length by 10% you will get 10% more displacement. Have you seen my comment about upgrading the Firmware on your ”Genmitsu 4040 Pro MPG Controller” video? I have now bought the MPG Controller myself and recieved 2days ago. Totally worth the upgrade. Keep safe. /H

Hi according to the web site I think there is but I don't always update if I don't have any problems.

@@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop I described the update quite well in the comment in your other video. Basicly it will give you an GoTo X0Y0 option on the offline controller.

I noticed that your Z-axis is mounted to the X-axis using the upper set of bolts holes/lower position. Is that your recommended mounting position? I'm finally installing the Makita router and could use some advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi thanks for your question, when I am just using the bed and not the 4th axis use the position it is set in on the video. when using the fourth axis I lift z axis up that is to give the clearance. I don't use a router body so the preference is yours.

Where are folks getting this upgraded z-axis?

Hi thanks for your question You can only purchase the upgraded z axis frame from Sainsmart. I was one of the first that purchased this machine and I found faults due to this they then rectified those faults. I did have an issue with my z axis not flexing as reported but one of the bushes kept working out of its housing, so they sent me a replacement free of charge. I do know the upgraded one is considerably stronger this is better for a larger spindle to be used I think they are around £55

@@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop TY. I looked all over their site and couldn't find it so was starting to think it was 3rd party. We'll see, I've barely used mine (yet). Installed a 800W spindle, made spoil board... all went fine, trammed perfectly, but need to get to designing things to make :D

@@jb510 hi my advice would be simple designs and go slowly, understand the principles of cnc machining. It sounds like you have a good spindle that's a great start. If you have just purchased yours it should be the upgraded one . Good luck keep me informed of your progress

@@Tonys.Top.Tips.Workshop well I purchased it black friday, just took a couple months to get setup (due to space, snow, other projects). I thought it was the older one, but looking again it is the newer one (elongated bearing area), yay!
