1500x2000mm work area

Hi.

Thanks for the update @southernlite .

That’s one huge honeycomb bed, I’m sure that plenty of people will want to know Your experiences with it.
And of course where You got it and how much did it set You back.

That’s probably just an error with translation, iron by itself isn’t malleable enough to be formed into thin sheet, nor has it the other required properties, steel is and has.
Other than the cast varities, iron is very rare material in engineering.

That’s great -and somewhat unexpected as far as the flatness requirement goes- news for anyone who wish or need to do the same thing.

Regards,
Sam

Finally got my honey comb bed and it’s okay. But couldn’t get a bed big enough so had to get 2 at 1500x1000 to sit next to each other and they do exactly sit nicely. But should be good enough. The whole thing is -+2mm across the whole bed.
Did a test to see how cutting goes when out of focus and it’s all good at at least 7mm.

Looking forward to cutting me fabric with this and not sitting for hours with scissors.

This was the out of focus test it’s 15mm ply and I focused at the halfway point. Cut out a long rectangle at 35% @1300

Verily: One careful measurement outweighs 1000 expert opinions.

Looks good and I’m expecting a success story with more pictures! :grin:
