I think I had good success with the “initial frame” because the whole thing was supported by the motors in a good/stiff way (adjust the base so that both motors are holding the board roughly equally): ![18](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/a/a52bd8dd1f758f55dd1c72ac55fcb95c47677e24.jpg) And when you mount the motor mounts, I used 4 screws… but laid them out so that the motors couldn’t move ('course that does mean you need new holes if you /want/ to move the motor) – I did this after one of my motors cocked sideways causing the chain to fall off and drop the router during calibration: ![43](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/f/fb82250f16c96fc855676f88a0f55dcdaa8a4c40.jpg) Permission granted to reuse/modify/etc. And please ignore the mess in the background… ---
