Shipping (Order Info Page)

Hey Jim,

@JimHatch

I’ll have to see if I can just pay for the extra shipping or just cancel the QCW and then order it separately so it doesn’t hold up the Journeyman.

If it’s that important for you I believe each of them should be easily feasible if you drop them a line via E-Mail.

@JimHatch

I’ve just started on my mobile cart with tilting table. I’m going long vs tall so it revolves around an axle in line with the 72" dimension.

I think I would do that in this orientation as well. I also wonder if it would prevent this from happening:

@bwcherry

I was going to always store it with the spindle at the top so I don’t accidently “kick” it when walking around the shop. However since the spindle is so heavy, the Z frame slides down to the bottom along the Y axis on its own. I guess that’s where it will stay

If built in the other orientation, with Y Axes vertically and X Axis parallel to ground, there would be two idling ball screws and steppers against which gravity has to fight. And it would not be the spindle that moves down but the X Axis then. Anyway that’s a problem which disappears if one swaps the steppers for servos.

@JimHatch

Might not be a bad thing for the shipping delay but I could also use the boxes sitting in the garage as incentive.

I think that would be a very strong incentive. But I think building a table should not be done in a hurry, and it can’t anyway.

I wonder if the fact that I will receive the CNC machine together with the QCW Frame could lead to mounting it with no table at all. My poor back then. Got to do a lot of Yoga then.

@JimHatch

I haven’t seen any info on when the QCW is expected to ship. I’ll have to see what 1F tells me.

But you could see it on the Order Info page, penultimate column.
