    Hey,
    I'm wondering how bad the stability difference was between the C beam plate and the double wide? I just received my order and when looking through everything I realized my mistake. I plan on using a 1.5kw spindle and will only be cutting wood/plastic/foam.

    I would think you should be fine. That is a pretty commonly used size. Also, if one of the Chinese 65 mm mounts came with it, those are a significant chunk of metal which will also add stiffness to the plate.

    Yes it has the aluminum holder with it. Just didn't know the torsional strength difference between the 2 but thanks I'll try the normal c beam plate first.
