I'm starting to build a new machine from maker store - c beam xl kit and want to machine long lengths. I was thinking of adding a linear rail with a belt drive to move long lengths quicker in the x axis, hold it at a the centre position of where it needs to be milled and then use the main lead screw to do the finer milling/ movements.
Is something like this possible or just too hard to program? I have the uccnc uc300eth controller and software.
