Hardware
#1

Hi,
I’m new hear and have done a few hours of reading. Will the kit that ships in June include the new black metal ring and roller hardware?

To make sure I understand parts I need from Maslow are.

  1. Kit $350
  2. z-kit $60
  3. Carbide bits

I realize the rest can be modified and changed. It seems the ring kit is improved accuracy over this?

Just found this…

I would suggest adding this detail directly on the store page. Most e-commerce sites have a great deal of detail or bullet list.

Or maybe just link to the whatsinthebox page.

We really need to do a big clean up on the website, and I will soon.

It seems like you answered your own question, but yes! All of the June kits will include the ring :grinning:

The ring kit is provided for improved accuracy over the original “quadrilateral” kinematics setup (two L-shaped brackets bolted to the sled). The linkage kit you linked to was one of the first “triangular” kinematics (along with @dlang’s pantograph) that greatly improved accuracy and simplified Maslow’s world. @bar was working with the ring concept while the linkage kits were in process and he ultimated decided upon making it the new stock linkage. Which is better, @pillageThenBurn’s, @dlang’s or @bar’s has not been determined, but any of the three will be far superior to the original quadrilateral kinematic setup.
