I am stumped, i took apart my custom stand and just put together the new qcw from underneath, even by lowering the setup of my z to the lowest bottom screws, the bit wont reach the 3/4 mdf?
Is adding another mdf board on top the only solution, doesn’t sound right? Looked at several videos, even the one from 1f he is surfacing a board on top, which makes using the t-tracks useless?
Hi Richard! I have the same setup as you, QCW from bottom, and the X35 with stiffy rail. When mountng the Z on the lowest set of holes, I had no issues reaching the spoilboard. Can you confirm you are not using the mounting holes on the stiffy rail? I have heard of issues like yours when attaching to those by mistake. I did end up mounting a 3/4" MDF on top, but not for this reason. I never use the tslots, and prefer the contiguaous surface area for my painters tape and CA glue hold down method.
It looks like it still has some travel room in -Z. Is that as far down as the hand controller allows you to go? I am going to go look at mine and report back.
Richard, give me a shout through FB Messenger and I’ll try to help you.
Thanks for your help, i went through the steps again, and it works, i suspect i forgot to reset my xyz initially which blocked my z from lowering to the surface
