Hello all, I am in the process of planning a build based on the CRP2448 manual, but with the long axis shortened to only 24 inches and I have a few questions.
I am planning on using this mostly to do light production work cutting basic shapes out of phenolic plastic with fairly low precision needs, but would also like to be able to do some more precise work in other materials, especially aluminum for side projects.
1. The 2448 plans use 60in extrusions for the long axis of the bed, this is 12in longer than the travel distance, does this ratio hold up for a shortened bed, i.e. I would need 36in bed rails?
2. Can I use the Pro rack and pinion parts with the extended linear carriages, it looks like i could but I would hate to buy them only to find out otherwise.
