I purchased the 5.1 upgrade and the leg kit. Leg kit was super easy to install. I just put the Shapeoko on something taller than the legs and attached the legs. Amazing! This is super sturdy.
The only complaint I have is that if the groups of four holes were on the front/back instead of sides, one could tile fractional sheets of sheet goods to make a shelf. I know that I could add some myself, but I just wanted to share that.
Maybe Carbide3d has something in the works and someone will accidentally Tom Holland it on stream.
I just wanted to be lazy and throw a quarter sheet of plywood across some 2x6s. But it’s not hard to use the track saw to trim down a bigger piece of plywood. And if this is the only thing I could find to complain about…
Why can’t you just put your supports on the sides and then tie in some supports that run left to right.
Personally, I felt like the predrilled holes were too high for a shelf. If I put a full size shelf under there it would lead to a large amount of dead space under and not enough space on top for my buckets.
Cool, @Brew, thanks, I had no idea that existed. Is that a railroad museum behind the fence? Maybe it is just my eyes and the limited resolution of your posted photo, but I think I see SP and WP reporting marks on the two left-hand hoppers, and the leftmost one looks like an old Southern Pacific sugar-beet car…
Good eye, you are correct, that is the Rock Island depot. It’s now owned by the Chickasha Antique Automobile Club. It has old train cars and antique cars there.
Cool. I used to work on the eastern edge of San Pablo Bay in California (northern extension of San Francisco Bay) and through at least the 1990’s I’d see solid trains of sugar beets in harvesting season.
