    Default Just wondering if this can be removed (3020 Cnc)

    Wondering if this piece can be removed, When lowering my Axis gets in the way So was wondering will it affect it if I removed it or cut it off?

    It looks like it is just an extension of the Z axis carriage. i would think by looking at it it would prevent you from cutting too deep. (ie into the bed)

    but i cant see why not. (with the picture shown) would need more pics to get a more accurate answer.

    Looks like a lead screw cover

    Gonna try and remove it today as it honestly gets in my way when cutting a case.

    ive check on eBay (where i bought it) and seen some 3020 Cnc machines without that piece so I don't Belive it's important.

    Has anyone that's own a 3020 machine ever removed this piece before?

    Yes you could cut it off or just remove the whole plate, I think they put it there just as a shield without checking for interference when it is down, you still may need a spacer of some kind as the spindle may hit on the Z Y axes slide
