    Hi there,

    I own an Ooznest 1000x1000 Workbee which works quite well and I hasn't given me any major problems.

    I am trying to dial down the accuracy, which I think could be better. One thing it's bothering me and I think it could have something to do with accuracy is the bench the Workbee sit on. It wobbles quite a bit.

    So, I'm looking for a new bench for my Worbee, so I am curious to know if somebody has an interesting design or idea. A part from being stable and wobble free, ideally it would be nice to have some wheel system to move it around a little bit for servicing purposes.

    Any input would be much appreciated! thanks in advance!

    I built a torsion box that is very heavy and sturdy and fastened the frame to it. Lead Screw Driven Ox Derivative (850x1500)

    I mounted it on a frame I purchased from Amazon. You can see it here if you scroll down to the December-January 16, 2017 entry towards the bottom. Lead Screw Driven Ox Derivative (850x1500) It is big enough that I am expanding my CNC to 1000mm wide vs the existing 850mm. I then put it on a wheeled base that can support the weight. and I also ordered the expansion kit. I went with the heavy duty plastic frame and made my own 2x4s from plywood because then it would be dimensionally stable in the moist environment I live in. 2x4s expand and contract.
