I’ve designed a new C beam plate, since I’m unhappy with the 2mm of potential flex in the system using the current one from the store. I have 4 spare wheels and I think this is the best way to use them, while keeping a full 2.5"(64mm) of travel (the thickest thing I cut is 42mm,allowing me to level down 20mm of my spoil board before replacing it)
Any thoughts or suggestions? Are my spacings right? Not sure if I want to add eccentric spacers to these instead to account for wear. Probably will now that I think about it
I would add a second spindle mount bracket. Looks like lots of potential flex with just one.
+Jace Richardson that’s not where the issue is. I thought it would be but it’s the mini wheels inside the C beam that cause the flex.
@Conceptual_Innovatio I’m afraid i dont know what you mean. Like a 1.5mm thick spacer between the plate and beam?
The flex is not from the mount, but the wheels in the beam. Maybe I’ll record it if I can find a spot to lay my camera down.
You basically want two supports for each axis. You already have it for the X (the plate) but you only have 1 support for both of the Y axis points. See this image for what I mean: http://take.ms/HEzR1
You are forgetting that there are 4 mini wheels inside the C beam which do
an adequate job for woods (much better the a V rail Z axis) but for alu I
just need a bit of stability in the x direction
Ah - I don’t have this setup so I didn’t know there were wheels inside 
In the third picture you can see the 4 holes for mounting them.
If your going this far, make it a single plate.
I just posted the video of the results!
