thingiverse

Add these parts to your beloved Workbee CNC to transform it into a WORKBEAST CNC by stiffening the weakest spot on your screw driven machine. Make it more stable and accurate by changing out the shear loaded plastic wheels with a milled aluminium plate and linear rails. This upgrade helps reduce chatter while cutting, making it perfect for milling aluminium, hardwood, and plastic materials. This mod fits the original aluminium plate and reuses some of the fasteners, so you can easily install it on your existing machine. Check out the results on a screw driven 750x500mm Workbee CNC with a 1.5kW 80mm spindle at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1prhYkhnZA Make sure to set the spacer block exactly 14.5mm in height for optimal performance.
