I wanted to give this setup a try, primarily to place my control PC in a more favorable location, more protected from dust. Once again, the Onefinity shines with its ease to accomplish the task. This entailed swapping sides of the drag chain and flipping the gantry, which also necessitated flipping the Z axis to the other side. In spite of running a CNC router for 6 years with it the other way, I think I’m going to like this. Honestly, the biggest hurdle will probably be getting used to the location of the spindle lock button, which is now in the front.

From the title I was expecting to see you installed a Masso 😉

It’s a bit holder for my most used bits & collets, as shown here:

> Well, I finally got around to making a bit holder! Sticks to the top of my controller with magnets. The blue bases of the bit containers are press-fit into the corian, so I just pull the clear tops off to access the bits. An added bonus, with 1mm of corian thickness between the top side of the magnets and the bottom of the holes holds the collets nicely in place.
