One of my machines is going to be used to cut full 4’x8’ sheets at the very extents so I am finding that I am needing to add wings to hold the sled as it gets near the edge. I have also noticed that I am basically running out of chain, is there a simple way to add just 1’ of chain to both sides?
Do you know if a master link comes with the chain kit from maslow? I guess @bar would be the one to ask if I could get an extra chain with 2 master links.
Also, I do not plan on doing a ton in the corners but basically I am cutting 1 sheet into a design and it is for a stage prop so perfection isn’t necessary it just need to be relatively good.
The reason I asked about adding more is the last time that I went all the way to a corner it pulled the tension sprocket into the nail holding the end of the chain. That’s why I assumed that just adding 8" to 12" would fix that problem and give me ample room in the corners.
Each of the chains in the beta kit came with a master link. I’ve bought chain elsewhere since, and it too came with one. A #25 roller chain master link should be easy and relatively cheap to get online, as well.
