Interesting comment Buscht. It is true that with the ShopBot there is support under the ways at specific points and not the entire way from end to end. But the size and shape of the way make it (the next few words are an educated guess) stronger and more rigid than the little cnc-step machine at the first post in this thread.
If michaelL wants to look into it he could look on and search the extensive Shopbot forum and find if users are reporting any trouble with the unsupported ways flexing. He could also check out user's opinions of accuracy, support, accompanying software, etc. |
