The true Beast From The East

[Kitwn]

I can confirm that this machine build is rock solid and does not miss a beat. I did test this when manually travelling stopping and starting at full speed, not a wobble, it's no fun trying to move it with a pump truck thats for sure. It weighs a tonne and the steel is thick.
The only thing i am going to change is the spoil board set up. There is nothing wrong with the one thats on there now but I have seen a few different set ups that will be better suited for my type of work. This is my own fault and lack of communication with Dean, If i had told him that i wanted a different design am sure he would of done it for me, but its something i will enjoy doing at my own leisure.
I am 100% happy with the build quality thats for sure.

I've never seen an adverse comment on one of Dean's machines and I am not surprised you are happy with it. My aim in asking the question is to get some guidance for DIY builders. When I built a more solid, welded steel base for my own machine I decided to go for straight up, down and sideways sections because it was so much simpler to cut and align for welding with limited facilities. Seeing the great JAZZCNC do the same is very reassuring!

Dean,
Your explanation that this is a rigidly built desktop machine on a firm stand makes complete sense, and I take your point about it being intended as a wood-only machine rather than the mythical device that can do everything. Thanks for the answer.
