new build opinions required

[george uk]

Hi again ramsbury.

This is stone machine specific,

am thinking of adding rollers just beyond the start and end of the bed ( X ) and supports, to keep the machine size down. and allow me to do very big pieces.

A column for example, or the upright part of a norman church door, or a church window upright

If i have rollers at the end, and a support trolly, i can machine 2000mm per time, then just move the piece up the table and machine the remainder. If i can design this part correctly, i may even reduce the lenght of the bed. You can use a probe routine to make sure the piece is positioned carfully

Also, am trying to decide between building rollers into the bed, that are jackable, or, an air table, to allow me to position heavy pieces of stone and move it around.
