I finally got back around the garage and rearranged things a little bit! First thing. Out the door the “10’ wide original M2 frame.”
I wanted something bigger and a bit more practical than just a frame standing there! So I built my frame in front of my shelving.
The whole frame is attached at the top of the wall with hinges. This makes it easy to change the frame angles if needs be. Or get behind the wall with bigger stuff like a compressor.
I also put 6 doors into the frame to access the smaller stuff. I screw the doors in place so nothing moves when I run the M4.
Pros:
-Frame is super sturdy as it is attached to a concrete wall ( trough hinges)
-All my stuff is now stored in a cabinet like space and I don’t have to look at the mess.
-The floor section behind the frame is about 3 feets from the wall and it is amazing the amount of space it creates for big or odd objects that would not fit on shelves or in cabinets!
-I now have more floor space than before with the standing M2 frame
Cons:
You have to get whatever you need from the cabinets before you start a cut!
The lifting is a 2 men job or a 1 strong man job!
The M4 is often in the way but I can access all the doors without having to unhook it from the frame. It just needs to be moved around.
Overall I’m pretty happy with it and the 2 cuts I did since turn out great.
This brings me to a question.
Is there a way to call position presets for the M4. So I can tell it to go to position 1 to get it out of the way to open door 1, to position 2 to get it out of the way to open door 2, and so on…?
That way I don’t have to jog it around when I need a door to be open. I could just press or write a code and it would positionned itself out of the way.
Thanks
