I’m on day 2 of CNC setup and I just discovered something that I do not recall seeing on this forum so I thought I’d share. I mounted my machine per the instructions in the manual and YouTube video and it seemed to go well. Everything was jogging smoothly and no binding was evident. I expect most other people have the same experience (good job on design Onefinity!). I was in process of making my spoilboard (t-nuts) and got ahead of myself.
