Hey, To answer your question: it does not have provision for the second mount. You could add it, but I would take some modification of the Z as you suspected. It would require drilling, as you as suspected. There is a lead screw nut on the back of the Z plate though that you have to work around. Maybe bolt a plate in front of the Z plate to control the nod and cant (side to side tilt ? ). The spindle/router would attach to this plate. Loose some space at the rear of the machine, but ‘technically’ gain it at the front. I have been thinking of something like this for the ck. Still no clue how to handle the side to side tilt other than manually tilting it. Trying to figure a wait to make it adjustable via some sort of screw method, for easier tuning. And more repeatable.

Morning everyone,
I am patiently waiting for my 35x35 Mega V to arrive tomorrow! While i sit here and refresh the FedEx tracking hoping to make it move quicker i was thinking how the T-bed will be used with a spoil board. I am guessing you can use smaller spoil boards and clamp that to the t-bed and than clamp the piece to the board. My pop had placed the order and ordered the t-bed and not the mdf. I was going to cover the t with mdf but that would defeat the purpose of the t slots. What has everyone else who has the t-bed done? My fear is if the bit came in contact with the aluminum bed. (I am very new with CNCs)

Depends on the type of project you are working on but I typically use a spoil board that is larger than the work-piece. I then use the CA glue and blue tape method to mount the work piece to the spoil board. Then the spoil board is clamped to the t-track bed. This allows the free movement of the router over the entire work piece without worry of hitting a clamp.

Does this mean that you needn't have tabs as the glue is a way to mitigate the parts not flying out on the last milling pass?

Super glue and painter's tape for a cheap workholding solution for CNC Machining!?

Bruce, Thanks for posting this video about painter's tape and super glue workholding. I use this method, and it works really well for me.

Last night I completed assembly of my Mega V (19" x 19", 3-axes router) -- no issues. The parts all fit together very well and all are high quality. Thanks, MillRight. This morning I turned it on. SUCCESS!!! Using UGS-Platform (2.0 Nightly, December 18, 2018), I jogged all over the bed. So, without the router in place, I "air carved" a design that I've made several times with my Carve King. No issues at all. YES!!!
Then, with the ability to jog, I made some measurements regarding the Mega V alignment. I've NOT done any "fine tuning," and found:
-- the X and Y axes are perpendicular within 0.02 degrees (0.007" over a span of 18") -- that should be fine for my woodworking projects
-- the Z axis is off perpendicular to the bed in the Y direction by 0.08 degrees (0.004" over a span of 3") -- that should be OK
-- the Z axis is perpendicular to the bed in the X direction within my measurement accuracy of 0.03 degrees (0.0015" over a span of 3") -- !!!
A question:
Does the 4-axes UGS on the MillRight Resources page have any new features for 3-axes operation?
Thanks.

Congrats on the Mega V build, Hans. This is a custom version of UGS Derek had developed specifically for the 4th axis feature. I don't think there is anything other than the 4th axis feature in there but I could be wrong.

Would it be possible (in the far distant future) to add the 4th axis as an addon to the carve king?

Just got my shipment and I'm currently inventorying but at first glance all electronics and all TPlate is perfect! Thanks Derek and MillRight for a superb experience!

Derek, my build is going excellent except in inventory, I realized that I am missing my router bracket and also the 1/8" collet I ordered. I have emailed Lisa but I wanted to bring it to your attention to Derek. Its no big deal as I still have lots to do but if you could please send them ASAP. Thank you!
