It's been quite a while... I got tired of messingwith the belts, I was really getting a sling shot effect when cutting in the middle of the bed so...
That makes sense, now I'm really curious how it will effect my machine. I have 450nm motors that I just increased from 24v to 48v so they are...
I'm still getting belt slip when I push my machining too hard so I'm going to try a 40 tooth pulleys instead of the 20 tooth I'm using now. I read...
