Ordered the Lowrider 2 kit in April 2020, told myself I’d be making sawdust in a few weeks. Cut to scene and I just had my first successful job tonight. It’s been a long road with a lot of missteps. Table (sized for full sheet cutting) still isn’t level or surfaced, Y plates and 611 plate I sourced locally weren’t very accurate and I had to replace with 3d printed replacements (we’ll see how long they last). Thanks to Ryan for such an accesible design and solid documentation and thanks to the community for the forum activity, I have leaned heavily on you all to get up and running.
Building this machine and acquiring new skills has been one of the very few bright spots in an otherwise terrible year.
