    When assembling the WorkBee I'm also designing an enclosure. The top of the enclosure will have a tabletop that will integrate a router table so the router will be housed inside the enclosure. The router will hang down on the left side of the CNC but due to space constraints it will hinder the gantry. Is it possible to move the x-axis motor from the right side to the left side? That way, I can move the CNC machine 5 inches to the right and make room for the router.

    Yes. If after you do so the motor turns the wrong way you just need to invert the step direction for that axis. You can do that in OB Control by going into GRBL Settings and inverting X for setting $3. Save to firmware and you should be set.

    Great! I knew the x-axis would be rotating in reverse but didn't know where the setting to change that would be. Thanks!
