    Hi there,

    Is there a simple way to work out the size v-slot that I will need if I change to a different size machine? I am wanting to build out 1200mm X 600mm.

    I have seen the parts list for the 1010, however I cannot work out which lengths are for X Axis and which are for Y Axis.

    Honestly it would probably be easier to work from the Workbee 1050 parts list. Everything in the 1000mm range add 200mm to and everything in the 500mm range add 100mm to. Understand that 8mm screws don't stretch to the 1200mm range so you will need to upsize the screws to a larger diameter. Take a look at Sharmstr's build for additional information on that. (Look about halfway down the page)

    Stretching the Sketchup model is also a viable approach and it allows for better back checking of your parts list.
