by Michael Schwaiger VERSION FOR MGN15H LINEAR RAILS STIFFER - BETTER - HARDER ** +50mm HIGHER GANTRY BEAM compared to stock machine ** ** MORE USABLE Z-HEIGHT ** ** works with tingle tensioning system ** Add these parts to your beloved Workbee CNC to stiffen the Y axis on your screw driven machine to make it into a WORKBEAST CNC by changing out the plastic wheels to a milled aluminium plate and linear rails. This helps to reduce chatter while cutting and is a great recipe to succeed in milling aluminium, hardwood and plastic materials.
