Hello my name is Andy, I joined a month or so ago and said a little in the introductory forum. Since then I have been working on getting my cutting table ready for the gantry I ordered, getting close now, so much to getting it right the first time or what i think is right. I read and viewed Plain O'Bill's work and many others. The thermal Dynamics sketch was great, it shows the workings of a water table in a nutshell. I added a twist to the table frame by making it a two piece where the top rectangle frame which has the tracks can roll forward off of the front of the water tank and gives me around 26" of clearance so that if needed i can bring in items that are too tall to fit under the gantry.
Added some pictures from my phone, waiting for the correct control box for my PM1650 so the fun can begin.
Andy.
