I have an original model 1000mm X-Carve. It has the X-axis rigidity modification in the form of aluminum T stock and bolts. This has made the gantry solid with no perceivable flex. This has the NEMA 23 motors and ACME leadscrew upgrade as well, and new homing switches. 3D printed dust shoe parts and Z-axis dust cover go with the machine too.
$800without spindle and mount and with original motor controller
—OR—
ADD $300for DeWalt 611 router spindle/mount and complete set of PreciseBits precision collets (1/8", 3/16", 1/4")
Sorry, I replied yesterday to this message via email, but it didn’t make it back to you. I forgot that you can’t reply to the email notifications from this site.
I’m in Lapeer. I could meet somewhere if my location is not ideal.
I just looked up Lampeer, MI… I was thinking you were on the South West corner of Michigan. I was way off. I would be coming from Wisconsin and that would be a lot longer then I was thinking. I gotta think about when I would be able to make the trip.
