Hi! I was thinking if Y-axis could be flipped so motors are on same side than spindle? It would reduce the required enclosure footprint? Also if X-axis motor can be on same side as drag chain? Already ordered Foreman to replace my Woodworker and worrying how to fit that monster into my shop. :rofl: Would like to start designing the enclosure and table for it already. And I assume ELITE machines will use stock MASSO firmware? or is there some custom code needed?

At some point the size will dictate that the shop is the enclosure

Can we get the envelope or footprint dimensions of the foreman with the stand? The stand legs look canted out. I too would like to make an enclosure, but I’ve decided to section off a corner of my shop… for noise reduction, dust minimization, and to be able to heat it with minimal cost/effort in the winter.

Is the footprint of the stand available?

In a quick search, I saw that it is not recommended to mount the elite series vertically to a wall. Can we get an explanation why this is the case? I’d really like to mount my elite foreman at about 30 degrees from the vertical to save floor space and I would like to build my own vertical-ish fixture/stand so I can move it around the shop if needed. Is it not recommended because there are isn’t any onefinity made hardware for doing it? Or is there a concern with the electrics or gantry itself in the vertical orientation?

I have the same question. I was told by tech support “Elite machines are intended for professionals and professional cncs are not wall mounted. If you need tech support, you’ll be required to place your machine horizontally in the recommended position before tech support would be able to assist you.” Id like to know if it will damage itself or burn out the motors or not cut accurately if wall mounted. Maybe it hasn’t been tested yet? If the ELITE can mount to the QCW frame and the QCW frame is required for wall mounting I don’t understand a reason it cant physically hang on the wall or angled surface.

A couple of things come to mind (in no particular order): This series is new in many ways, and I imagine will bring a whole new onslaught of tech support questions, so limiting its installation parameters will most likely help 1F more effectively help the majority of new Elite users The Elite series uses Masso optical sensors, which unless protected to a greater degree in vertical mounting positions, may result in unforeseen issues The Masso closed loop steppers have more torque than the standard 1F offerings, so for the CNCs that already support a wall mount I don’t imagine a similar sized Elite version would have an issue mounted in the same way. This would not be the case for the Foreman, which can most likely have greater mass being acted on by gravity than the smaller offerings. I do not think the new Z assembly adds significantly more mass in relation to the rest of the hardware being moved by the motors. If 1F feels that is part of the issue, we would/should probably see a caution sent by 1F for current owners using wall mounts and who plan to upgrade with either a new Z 20 assembly, or perhaps even a new ‘stiffy’ rail, or both.
