Setting Table Height - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I have a Practical CNC and the table was set to a height that does not allow for all of the Z (6"). Right now with a deck and spoil board, I only have about 2 1/2" of Z.

I do some 3d work but mostly 2D plywood boat kits.

What kind of trouble am I creating for my self if I lower the table to allow for all 6 inches of Z? Will I damage my ability to maintain the 'rigidity' of the Z if most of my work is extended to cut near the 6" limit?

Thanks in advance.

Have you discussed with the manufacturer? Do they have tech support? You want to make sure you dont void your warranty (if it has one) by making changes.. Just a thought..

you might see some intolerable flex at 6"
