Great Video and plans for the spoilboard. I have the XE-PRO with the stock 400W spindle. My Y-axis can go to 420mm without hitting the limit switch. I made my spoilboard 400x440mm to us the full range of the CNC. With the Trim Router attached the dimensions might be different but for now I would recommend adding 20 to 40 mm to the Y-Axis.

Another nice video and kudos for sharing files.

Cool. That looks like a nice unit for sure. 👍

Great job nice

Thanks!

I have fitted my Workbee CNC with the Sainsmart 1010 T track bed with spoilboard stuck on and leveled

Great Content!!! One question, if i want to use a 1/4 up bit. how do i manipulate the gcode to accommodate the 1/4 bit?

I don't see the STL file for the spoilboard leveling jig

Do you have a video for the FoxAlien Masuter Pro extension kit for a spoil board set up? I did not have luck finding this great of a video for it.

Nice video. Your surfacing bit has replaceable carbide bits , would you recommend that type over the cheaper fixed bit types ?

Hello James Dean . I recently purchased the NymoLabs NBS 6040 and they have tagged you and Aurora Tech and they told me that they would be giving you a machine to review and test out. Can you do a video on that machine or reach out to them for that machine? Thank you

Do you know please; do FA sell a dust shoe for the XE-Pro?

So I got it working and it got all the way down to the last row far left rear. It then paused and gave me a soft limit alarm. G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. What does that mean?

I would honestly like to just replace the whole base spoil board, but can't find any files to replicate the mounting locations. My reasoning is that I would like to etch the carvable area into a grid on the spoil board.

Hello James--I have a problem with your file for holes on XE Pro--every thing goes fine until it gets to 3rd row X left--then it jst stops and gives this warning--- error:9-G-codelocked out during alarm or jog state{G1Z1.0000F10000.0 This error mayjust bea symptom of an eralier event:Alarm:2-Gcodemotion target exceedsmachine travelMachine positionsafety retained.Alarm may be unlocked

Hmm, wasn't it been better to do the flattening after you removed the tape and bold it to the bed? glue and tape could rase the hight uneven. now you do not know if the bottom board is right or wrong, or is the spoil board right/wrong? and trimming would be best on the bottom board, right?

You dont remove the tape, that board remains fixed down with the tape.The whole purpose is not to use or trust the bed as that can also be uneven, so you create a fresh surface to work from and the surfacing makes it parallel with the axis. Its a board designed to be cut into so you don't want any bolts or screws in it
