Regarding the new Quick Change Wasteboard: Secure from above vs Secure from below: Update march 2025 We have discontinued the “from above” version of the qcw. All qcw sold from now on will be “from below”. —- The “secure for above” has steel threaded PEMS installed giving you the ability to fas…

With the Mount from above 1f frame for the WW 1f unit as depicted in the photos and video. Can the entire surface of the spoil board be surfaced using a 3/4 in surfacing bit or will there be an offset on all sides.

@OnefinityCNC - Any chance there is a drawing/template with dimensions for the QCW secure from above now that you have moved to production? Specifically, looking for the spacing between the wasteboard support rails and the hole spacing along the rails. Thanks for the help!

Installed secure from above this weekend. If you can do screw from below do it as it took a little effort to line it all up perfect. Also to layout and cut so boards where not longer or wider then cutting area of the machine. Looking to have another spoilboard layer so don’t have to re-do first lay…

Still no layout file available from what I have read here. Why not? Seems to me it should be available for download by now so people can get to work on it before the frame arrives. Anyone who has the secure from above version care to comment? Or are you all sworn to secrecy. :slight_smile:

I also am on the fence of which to order. One thing that I thought of on from beneath was, you know when you send a screw through mdf how it swells a little? Would that not mess up the entire flatness requiring leveling pass every new WB install?

Won’t installing new WB require that anyway.

I would like to think it it was from above and you programed for exact hole location, depth etc and the engineering that went into Qcw tops, there shouldn’t be any initial resurface on from above option. Plus if you have it programed, I think my 1st project would be about a years worth of pre-machi…

[image] Wallles: there shouldn’t be any initial resurface on from above option Except MDF isn’t exactly shelf-stable. It changes dimensions based on environmental conditions (primarily humidity). Whether you have a QCW or not, you should plan on doing a flattening operation whenever you chang…

Pre-drill the holes for securing the MDF and it shouldn’t swell as much, (if any).
