the specs on the 2x2 shapeoko 5 pro show the max horizontal machine travel as 24.53 inches, but the spoilboard only measures 23.25 inches in width. Can I actually cut 24.53 inches?
The SO3 had a large cutting area in front of the frame. The SO4/5 can be cut off the front edge but not as much as the SO3.
To test this jog all the way to the back corner and set X and Y zero. Then jog all the way until the gantry stops. The distance is in the CM interface. Then jog all the way to the other side to verify the X distance.
You can cut off the front edge of the frame but be careful because nothing is supporting your material. I dont have an SO5 so make sure you dont cut through to the front of the frame when you cut off the front of the frame or hit your BitSetter. You may have to remove the BitSetter if it is in the way of the material.
