This image is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. This *is* a cantilevered arm...you can see where the wear should and will take place. *This* is what I'd like to avoid -- *IF* it is actually a problem in practice. The solutions I've come up with will work, but they add complexity and difficulty to the design.
HuFlungDung says it best in his .sig file...theory and practice aren't always the same thing. Theory says this cantilevered design is a problem... Since I've not yet built my machine, I don't know what practice has to say.
