Nice machine. Bit odd how they leave the rails sticking outside the castings - does the carriage move onto that region or stop before?

Has everyone changed since I've been gone . I'm sure between the people here you'll manage it. I've not tuned a servo motor with closed loop control through LinuxCNC either, but in other systems I've worked with it's generally not been so hard so I wouldn't shy away from it if that's a solution you can try without spending extra cash.
