    96 x 60 CNCRP is DANCING!

    Just built a 5' x 8' machine - and it's pretty awesome!

    The Nema 34s produce some serious torque - and it makes the entire table wiggle a bit. Everything is tightened down, and installed to the best of my understanding and ability.

    What is the best way to deal with this?
    Slow down my feeds and speeds (currently running around 100/200 IPM)?
    Stack extra lumber on the lower leg cross members?
    Something else?

    It does help to add weight under the table. I'm thinking about making a few sections of a form out of MDF, then pouring concrete in them. Making it removable in sections though, for when I move it inevitably. I've seen one person on YouTube who added diamond plate around the entire base, connected to the frame throughout.

    I had to turn my acceleration way down to help. I was very disappointed in the company for telling me it was solid and wouldn't move. Cant even run close to advertised speed without negatively effecting the cut.
