A bit of necromancy here, so my apologies in advance.
Now that our weather is out of the deep freeze here in CO, I was able to spend some long overdue machine time in my garage. I tried several combinations of HDPE blocks underneath the bed and frame to no avail.
Then it dawned on me to try removing the “adjustable leveling feet” and let the machine rest on the table top via the frame only. I have a 3/4" MDF surface on a custom table frame and the results were excellent. All the droop in the middle is virtually gone, but there’s still some rise at the very front of the machine.
I also measured the stock wasteboard this go round vs. measuring the 1/2" T-Nutted MDF that I was measuring previously. I’m finally making motions to finalize a wasteboard and clamping system, and this improved foundation will minimize any tramming operations with my final products.
