I am assembling my xcarve, and I am wondering how critical the x axis stiffening mod is? I hope to one day cut aluminum, and it is a new xcarve, so it came with the dewalt 611 router standard.
Will I be unhappy with this if I don’t stiffen it first?
Also, does anyone know of a place I can order the 3/16 steel that is already the correct width so I don’t have to cut it to width along the whole length? Cutting to appropriate length is not a big deal.
I am just setting up at a new house, and nothing is unpacked yet, so I have very few tools (don’t even know where my corded drill is, just have cordless)
