Today’s SwiftCut Issue

[Hood]

I don’t know they even provide a laptop stand for the table.

I should put a desktop PC on the table really but the workshop gets so damp it really won’t be good for it unless I can enclose the screen and the tower.

Water drips from the roof of my shipping container
Think it is actually worse now than it has been in the past, probably due to the water in the table.

In the summer we lose ¼” some days!

@Arclikeharrypotter must if cursed me last night asking how the table is running!

We are back to the cable tray hitting the axis stop for the head inside the gantry!

The x-axis does run on a belt as mentioned previously.

Well not really like but...

This is getting painful, id be jumping up and down on the phone to the manufacturer

that video really shows how cheaply it's built Swiftcut must be making a whole load of profit on them, the brackets are as cheap as cheap can be.

F that would then have to deal with the public, Fishermen and Farmers are bad enough

Can't say on the fishermen, plenty of experience on farmers though I concur

Horrible design work there.

You could make a stop to hit the slide bearings instead, slightly further up. You shouldn't have to, of course, but that's what I'd do...

 

[Hood]

Can you fit a bit of plate above the energy chain so it keeps it down below the bar? Alternatively some angle on the bit the stop hits and raise the stop.

BTW you want cold, have some nice iced lime

 

[Hood]

Ah I see you addressed the angle option at the end of the video.

 

[dobbslc]

That is a bit pony Brad!
Could you make a skid that sits on the carriage that will push the cable track down at it's end of travel?
Sorry for the technical drawing!

 

[Hood]

The ice melts quick with a blast from the plasma arc

 

[duncans]

thats a cracking piece of kit brad

No help to you but it's made me really glad I bought the xtreme.

Yep I’d have the Xtreme but I don’t like R-Tech so that’s why we went with the Swifty.

Wouldn’t touch their pro machines based on the build quality of this

My only experience with r tech is the one on the xtreme table and so far it's been fine.
