Have you had any problems with the add-on being in the way when the spindle goes to the bit plate during the "precut" sequences?

[Jeff_Birt]

I would not suggest trying to mount heavy things to an axis, the mchine's software is not expecting to have to account for it, YMMV. Also, the machine would have to have the top cover removed as shown in the video...

How hard is that to make? And is it high enough to miss the bit plate?

[Fardoche]

Very interesting

[Digitalwoodshop]

I like it... Would love to see a video of it doing the bit plate....

The placement of the vacuum tube will be a factor if you are using a sled. Also if you want to use large router bits like the ogee.

Is there any adjustments on this for the different tools?

Pretty slick, good craftsmanship.

As others have posted, added weight/resistance to the Y truck is going to cost you in the end one way or the other.
Having it removable eliminates the "bit plate" problem, but adds a little inconvenience to the start process.

All in all, good application of ideas, thanks for sharing.
